Title: Best Dropper Post?
Post by: Rigid_Bloke on May 15, 2014, 04:12:14 PM

Along with my adoption of full suspension, I'm also thinking I may go the way of a dropper post. They obviously are not cheap (or light) but most say they are more than worth it in both instances. I've read where a lot of riders said it was the single biggest upgrade they've made to their bikes. I'm currently reading up on the KS Lev, Rock Shox Reverb, and the Thomson Elite Dropper seat post.

Seems I can get the reverb for close to a hundred dollars less than the other two options. Anybody have any experience with either of the three above, or have any other recommendations?

Thanks.

I've read/heard good things about the Rockshox Reverb.  I've only ridden a few bikes with dropper posts, not really my thing.  For the XC/Trail type of riding I do, I just don't see the need for it on my bike.

I've personally never ridden one but have considering getting one. It seems like it would be rather reassuring to have the saddle out of your way to allow you to get as low as possible on descents.
