I have a 2018 Trek with this post (not sure if its this "new model" or 1st gen) and my original plan was to swap it out immediately for the 9.8 on my "old" bike. I've never bothered... Its not quite as nice as the 9.8 in that the saddle wiggles a small amount and its not as quick to go up. But its been more than fine. been pleasantly surprised/impressed!
