        Welcome 
        to our world. 
        It's hard to think like a terrestrial being when you are surrounded by 
        Aliens all day long. Mind you, since USE 1989 we have always thought differently. 
        Our products are solutions to the real needs of cyclists for which we 
        have established global recognition. If it sounds like we are blowing 
        our own trumpet just a bit then let our products do the talking. Let the 
        critics and the bike riding public be our judges. Read the reviews and 
        visit independent web sites like www.mtbreview.com 
        to get the fuller picture. 
        
        Our suspension seat posts have long been the benchmark from which others 
        are measured. Attention to detail, use of the best materials, finishes 
        and unique elastomer technology have spurred comments like "damping action 
        is superior - the best performing post on the market" and "the best telescopic 
        design". Then last year we leapt into hyper-drive as we introduced the 
        Alien seat clamp across our rigid range of posts and on two of our suspension 
        models. 
        
        The Alien is unlike any other seat post design on 
        the market. Clever use of a wedge principle to clamp the saddle rails 
        has effectively removed the stress in the bolts. This allows us to manufacture 
        a significantly lighter solution but one that is actually stronger than 
        our in-line clamp. Details can be found in the product section of this 
        web site. Two years of research and development have resulted in the Alien 
        already being acclaimed as "the best designed seat clamp in the industry…5 
        stars…smokes any other post made (Mountain Bike Action US). 
        
        Extra-terrestrial innovations continue at USE. Like 
        our revolutionary S.U.B. Anti-Dive front suspension system and our EVO 
        long travel pivot post. Latest details and updates can be viewed in our 
        news section. 
       We 
        love to ride bikes. From our local trails to the punishments of a 24hour 
        race you'll find us testing ourselves and our products. So, from mere 
        mortal cyclists like us here at USE to the likes of professional athletes 
        such as the Giant World Team, we hope that our products will inspire you 
        to ride even more, help you ride even better. After all, unlike our Alien 
        friends we only exist on this planet, so let's be sure we make most of 
        it. Happy trails!
