Dropper posts are a no-brainer for all mountain and trail bikes. But even XC, gravel, and commuter bikes can definitely benefit from them! Especially this one, with it's game changing, built in suspension.
'But MTB Direct, isn't that just saggy post syndrome?'
No, it's not, it is oil damped and air sprung contolled suspension, fantastic for long rides on rigid bikes out on rugged mountain paths, XC trails, or even potholed footpaths on the way to work. It really helps to take the sting out.
Who's it for: XC, gravel, bikepacking, or commuting riders, or really anyone after a bit less pain in the rear.
Actuation style: Cable actuated with an adjustable air spring.
Travel adjustment: There is 40mm of suspension travel, and 120mm (100mm for 27.2mm) of drop travel. The drop travel is infinitely adjustable.
Routing: Both internal and external routing is available.
Lever included: There is no lever for this post.
Saddle clamp: Standard rail mount with 2 bolts.
Stand out features: The 40mm of suspension is definitely a stand out here!
Pros: Suspension is great for rough rides.
Cons: Might feel really weird on suspension bikes with a bit of pedal bob.
