Must be really beefy or made out of a strong material like titanium to do this. I'm curious as to where I would find this weird saddle rail extender.

CroMo has been used in saddle rails for like half a century. I’ve never seen one fail. Titanium is also used but would save maybe a few grams.

Bacisally that’s a custom (cut) made version of [this ](https://www.amazon.com/CYSKY-Absorber-Suspension-Mountain-Leisure/dp/B09V2B9F5F/ref=sr_1_4?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.A_QPap8fpsr3xBWdIlf77YhuMhCmhzVEsNsMoD34wZg_dyyX1qY9Lxy38oQce1QymS2XpjH34Ecm8WD0Ci8lAgsA6sCeuJNVyQgZAwcJBnx0glZq89GJ_SKQ48ISr62Z0JVz1QoIqAg-llLlzKmpXVSTdVxEVsJ8Ijc5LJwArn3o79RNRCbWf6I-W34vpbtAHJ9wOwFxCyOu_kzbSOfViWzf3wwXvLIS2XRiRSTY10N9ETrHruYRn3OcbPCWC4U5-r3T2GJEq6sUuwXrt57hN8GLBU90dPpFLg3Y1uvMUxo.4poAvTMOIEvPZA2_oxbmneeYugO6JH5j3LAP7oQVp2w&dib_tag=se&keywords=bike+seat+extender&qid=1776251291&sr=8-4)
I’d rather opt for a seatpost without setback.
Titanium(-alloys) are not necessarily more resistance to loads than good steel, they are just somehow lighter.

When you buy the wrong size but you still wanna ride it
Ah, the new Seat Post Breaker 5000.
Good steel would be the default material for something like this. Steel is stronger than titanium (for the same geometry). That being said, this looks “interesting” but not like something I would like to test myself.
