Why We Like The Highline 3 Dropper Seatpost

Though we've had great luck with the Highline Dropper Post in the past, Crank Brothers made a number of improvements to this 3rd generation to boost performance and reliability even further. This Highline 3 is their lower-cost option, but it uses much of the same technology as the more expensive Highline 7. The difference lies in a simpler hydraulic cartridge that omits the internal floating piston, and a standard 2-bolt head rather than the quick-connect head found on the Highline 7.

Amazing dropper post

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

The actuation is fantastic and it comes with jagwire cable and cable housing which is very expensive stuff. It has everything you need to set up if you already have a lever and the actuation is very good.

Works every time

2 years later and it’s still working flawlessly. I use this with the wolf tooth remote and have had it in my bike for the last 2 seasons with no issues or repair. It’s quick to come back up and doesn’t need your full body weight to lower. I’ll likely buy it again for once the dropper on my other bike fails.

Excellent Dropper Post

Familiarity:
I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Size Bought:
31.6 x 125 mm
Height:
5' 9"
Weight:
170

First dropper post I have owned, and I only have initial impressions, but they are really positive. The install was easy and the dropper post looks great. I paired it with the crankbrothers lever and they both function well. The 125mm (~5") drop is just about right for me at my height (5'9"); I could maybe do with a 150mm. There is a very slight wobble in the post as mentioned before, but if I hadn't read the prior reviews, I may not have even noticed the wobble. The wobble seems to be in the actual post though, not where the seat is clamped to the post (that part is solid and I like how it adjusts). The action of the post is smooth and the return is sufficiently quick. As far as I can tell the components/material are high quality and feel strong/durable; I think this post will last me for quite some time. I'll try and update the post later if my impression changes. As of right now I am happy with my purchase. Even though I don't have experience with other dropper posts to compare too, I would buy the highline 3 again.
