While dropper posts have become the new norm at the trailhead, we've been pretty limited when it comes to those for narrow seatposts.

It brings you 105-millimiters of infinitely adjustable travel, which may sound short in stature compared to the lofty 150mm's we see on the market, but it gives you more than enough space to drop your post and get well behind the saddle on steep descents.

This post hosts a full 390-millimeters in length, enabling you to find plenty of adjustability to dial in your saddle height for the ride. If you had the opportunity to run with any dropper post when they were still the hot new thing, there's a good chance you expe...   read more
