Turnon Components Bunker Seatpost
Overall Review
W e first started coming across Turnon Components at trade shows a couple of years ago, intrigued by their use of a submerged dropper post as part of their exhibit. The point of the display was to showcase their “water and dust proof” dropper post, aptly named the Bunker. What sets this post apart from others is the lack of any kind of venting holes at the bottom of the post, which essentially creates a second air chamber inside the post as the air compressed by lowering the post has nowhere to go. To see what all this translates to in real life, we’ve been testing the Bunker for a few months...

FOX Transfer Neo Factory Seatpost
Vital Review
Tested: FOX Jumps into the Wireless Dropper Game with Ultra-Fast Transfer Neo (Product Review)
Overall Review
T he wireless dropper post market has been heating up lately, with several new entrants throwing their hats in the ring. Fox is the latest to join the party, and they’ve definitely come out swinging. By thinking outside the box, they’ve developed a dropper post that offers the fastest actuation in the industry at present, coupled with lower stack height thanks to the unusual placement of the wireless controller unit on the seat post. They’re also making the post in the three main diameters with plenty of travel options. What does all this translate to on the trail? Keep reading to find out...

OneUp Components V3 Dropper Seatpost
Overall Review
OneUp has built up a well-deserved reputation as makers of a quality dropper post over the years, and we’ve had excellent results with every iteration of it so far. They released the all-new version three a couple of months ago, so of course we had to put it to the test. Keep reading to find out how we’ve been getting along with it. Strengths Weaknesses Compact dimensions, adjustable travel Light weight Lighter actuation now, easier to modulate Reliable, easy to service Fast return speed Price increase Still not quite as smooth as the class leader OneUp Components V3 Dropper Post Highlights 60...

BikeYoke Revive 3.0 Seatpost
Overall Review
With an impeccable track record and oft-praised performance, the BikeYoke Revive is widely considered as the best dropper post that money can buy. Vital’s own testing confirms this, as we placed it at the top of the heap in our big dropper post shootout a few years ago. Not one for big marketing statements, BikeYoke has just released the third iteration of the Revive, with a number of small modifications that aim to improve things that could be improved without making any design changes where none were needed. Oh, and there is a limited edition run of 200 pieces with a silver lower tube, which...

TranzX EDP01 Seatpost
Overall Review
While wireless components are steadily growing in popularity (and performance), there is still a lack of relatively affordable options in the wireless dropper space. TranzX is looking to remedy that as the first company to offer a $500 wireless dropper post, eloquently named the EDP01. We’ve had one on test for five months now, and we’re here to report on how we’ve been getting along. Keep reading to find out! Strengths Weaknesses Cable-free installation cleans up the cockpit Satisfactory activation speed Solid performance Up to 200 mm of travel available Easily replaceable cartridge Battery...

BikeYoke Revive 272 Seatpost
Overall Review
With fewer and fewer mountain bikes featuring a 27.2 mm seat tube, BikeYoke had all but given up on making a 27.2 dropper – but then the gravel boom happened, and they finally got the push they needed to bring this project over the finish line. We don’t usually pay all that much attention to the gravel space here at Vital, but we know many of our readers DO, so consider this a PSA (you can always use it for your XC rig or why not for your kids’ bikes if you want to spoil them with one of the best droppers on the market, too…). BikeYoke Revive 272 Highlights Drop: 80mm (infinitely adjustable)...
