Looking for dropper post for my 456. Its been a bit of a budget build so reluctant to spend huge amounts on a post, however I am in no doubt that they transform your ride, and are easily the best things on my other couple of machines. So far I'm debating :

The expensive ones -

Ks I7
Gravity Dropper
X fusion Hi lo

and the cheap options - the trail drop/forca thing that there is a thread about on here.

Have I missed any, are there any cheaper sub 100 quid options? Remote not essential...

gravity droppers seem to get the nod in terms of reliability and seviceability

Have you tried? I went no remote and though good it's just not the best 🙂

I'm looking at a Bfe so I can have a proper dropper post

I've got an X-Fusion HiLo, been running it for nine months or so now without trouble. It's not as good as my Reverb but it's not far off once you bin the rubbish cable it comes with and fit a decent one.

GD and they come up on here under £100 second hand sometimes. I paid £83 for a well used 26.8 with 3 shims. Added a new cable and it works well.

It's nothing like the slick product my Reverb is but its good enough & I'll be using through winter 🙂
