This parallelogram seatpost suspension

what would be the point of that ? when you do drops or anything that you
absorb impact you are standing so talking about puttin suspensions on a
unicycle would be pretty much pointless from my point of view

I'm not sure how that would work on a unicycle since the seat isn't
always in the same position as a bike is. That would make keeping
balance a lot harder and weird, all though I'm not sure, looks cool
though

Are these pantour suspension hubs very strong or does the fact that they
have suspension mean that the overall strength of them decreases?

Everything is not always about drops.

For XC muni a suspension seatpost can be beneficial because it will
allow you to have the seat slightly higher for fast trail riding. A
higher seat makes it easier to spin faster and your legs are more
efficient when properly extended compared to being scrunched up with a
low seat. A higher seat is more efficient for climbing and fast riding.
A seatpost suspension will take the bumps and help keep the rider from
getting bumped up off the seat. It will also allow the rider to keep
more weight on the seat which makes for more efficient riding. So for
fast XC riding where you are concerned about speed and efficiency a
seatpost suspension could be a good thing.

Maxis, your crotch must be made of iron. For the rest of us, we
occasionally ride over bumpy things when we're sitting on the seat.
That's what (seat, not pedal-based) suspension is for.

I think it would be most useful for road riding, but I've also enjoyed a
bit of suspension on trails as well. Any my Pyramid suspension post paid
for itself in one day of riding on the slickrock of Moab!
