The Alien has continually evolved with the latest being the Alien Cyclops. Using a larger (3mm hex key) single bolt central to the clamp design, the Alien Cyclops makes adjustment easier and faster. The Alien Cyclops has a unique one-key release mechanism that makes re-adjustment as simple as a turn of the hex key. The Aluminum Alien is used by World-class athletes, Tour de France King of the Mountains and multiple MTB World Cup victories. CONCEPT - Ultimate lightweight seat post Designed for the performance rider To perform on the world stage (2 X Tour de France King of the Mountain and multiple MTB World Cup victories) Chosen by the worlds best athletes who do not compromise.

Had an Alien on my last bike and love it. I bought this one because of the color and weight let alone it was on $28 bucks for the blue. Now because of the design change that they made from two bolts to a single small hex head bolt I cannot attest to the quality or longevity of this product. Also it was a bit tricky to install since it did not align quite well with the bars on the seat, would have been much easier with two people but why should you need two people to install this. Hopefully the single bolt won't be a problem, so overall I like it and I couldn't beat the price.

Excellent seat post, great design
This thing weighs nothing! It's feather light and the anodising is very high quality, it looks great! While a few have complained about the seat clamp design I actually really like it, it's a true set and forget , holds solidly and seems very little chance that it might rattle itself loose at some point, I'm not sure I'd pay $109 for it (red , black, silver) but $20 for the blue one is one hell of a bargain!! Plus it matches my bike anyway ;)
