Reverb Dropper Seatpost

No stranger to hydraulics, RockShox uses the technology instead of a mechanical connection for its Reverb Dropper Seatpost. And while at one point, the idea of hydraulics on a bike seemed otherworldly, your disc brakes, inarguably the most important component on your bike as far as safety, are most likely hydraulic. Unlike cable systems, they are less likely to become contaminated. The post uses a 2.5-weight oil and the fluid in the lines controls the main valve that drops the seat. The XLoc remote, the same as is used on RockShox’s fork, allows easy control straight from your handlebars.

With RockShox’s extensive knowledge of suspension, contamination of the fluid isn’t a concern. The seals fit the same as fork seals and an Internal Floating Piston (IFP) prevents the oil from mixing with the air preload. Both make the Reverb friction-free for fast, reliable movement. The post itself is 7075 Aluminum. The seat position is adjustable fore and aft and for tilt using two bolts.
