8/17/2023 0 Comments Amazon stack ranking 2020The BikeYoke Revive 2.0 has always been praised for its smooth action, and our testing led us to think that this could well be the best feeling cable-operated dropper around, with a precise and light lever feel. The low stack height keeps the post out of the way when it’s down, providing plenty of room to move your body around when descending. Max length: 397mm (125mm travel), 467mm (160mm travel), 517mm (185mm travel), 582mm (213mm travel)Īs far as we are aware, the BikeYoke Revive 2.0 is the longest dropper post on the market with 213mm of travel and a 582mm max length in its biggest size, which is good news for those with long legs.Price: £299-£365 as tested (without dropper lever).The BikeYoke Revive 2.0 dropper seatpost is seriously long at 213mm. The return speed won’t be as fast as some riders prefer, but this is a top-quality, lightweight post that’s smooth, easy to service and totally reliable. The neat ability to twist the bottom activator out of the way of bottle bosses and other seat tube interruptions allows maximum insertion, and you can reduce the drop in 5mm increments using the included spacers.īecause of higher operating pressures, the longer Triggy Alpha remote is recommended to exert more leverage. It still has the German brand’s auto-refresh mechanism, to ‘bleed’ itself and prevent sponginess, along with its super-slim collar. Stroke length (* tested): 125, 160*, 185mm (adjustable in 5mm increments)īikeYoke’s Divine is one of the best posts out there – the less sophisticated hydraulics make it a little cheaper, but more importantly, allow easy travel adjustment.The return speed won’t be as fast as some riders prefer, but this is a top-quality post. Read our full OneUp V2 dropper post review.It also made us wonder why we haven’t upgraded to a longer travel, shorter stack post sooner! To boot, the V2 doesn’t cost a fortune and we had no issues with it sticking or feeling lumpy during the testing period. OneUp’s done this by making the post’s body, seal head and seat clamp as slim as possible and the 210mm travel post was shorter than RockShox’ Reverb B1 150mm travel post by 34mm. The OneUp V2 dropper’s party piece is how it lets riders substantially increase their post’s travel, meaning the seat can be lower on the descents while returning to the same position at full extension, without the equivalent increase in post stack height. Weight: 579g (without remote and cable – remote: 48g).Price: £179 as tested (plus £42 for OneUp Dropper Post Remote V2).Read our full Crankbrothers Highline 7 dropper post review. Although the return speed isn’t adjustable, a ‘soft push’ of the lever makes the seatpost return slower. Top-quality Trelleborg sealing and igus glide bearings mean performance is impressively smooth, easily controlled and consistent even on the longest, dirtiest rides or after an extended rest. Previously, Crankbrothers’ posts had a reputation for being unreliable, but we had no such experiences with the Highline 7, and should the worst happen, it’s backed by the brand’s four-year warranty. The stack height – the distance from the bottom of the post’s collar to the centre of the seat rails – was impressively short at 50mm, too.Īlthough the remote was £55 extra, we thought it was well worth it, thanks to its smooth action and adjustable angle. The post’s construction screams quality and it was very simple to fit to our test bikes thanks to the cable’s nipple attaching to the post end, with the lever clamping the cable at the other end. With the Highline 7, it looks as though Crankbrothers has nailed performance, reliability and ease of fitment.
