Likely having one of these on a new bike next week. How do they perform ?
I'm used to my reverb on the hardtail, how does it compare ?
Happy with mine on my Trance 1
I have xfusion hilo on my hardtail and I'd say the Giant dropper is better
Not bad but not brilliant either. Mine developed fore / aft and side to side sloppiness fairly quickly. When it got properly cold, it started to get really sticky on the return. It still works and has never broken though. I've started using my Gravity Dropper again - it may be basic but it is a damn site easier to fix and has lasted several years.
Sanny, just mailed you 🙂
Mine's still seeing service on a friends bike after 3/4 years, regular lube and it's fine. Slow when cold yes and a bit faffy with having to change the cable but they are decent enough - wouldn't buy a new one over a reverb though.

If you can afford a Reverb, buy one. If you can't, buy a Giant Contact Switch.
They're a very good budget option.
^^^ I have a Reverb 😀
I just bought an Anthem SX..cos you said they're good 😀
It comes with a Contact Switch...
and the Reverb is staying on my Soul !

Oh good grief, no! Someone listening to my advice?
😉
Make sure you get the right size and a decent fit and set up at the dealer. Wouldn't want to end up like renton and his dog's breakfast of a Trance!
LOL 😀
All sorted with proper reading of size charts plus a try out 😀
They're a very good budget option.
Totally agree, I bought mine when they first came out for £140 when Reverbs were north of £250!
Now they're £135 and a reverb from ze germans is £160 I'm less convinced. I definitely wouldn't go and put anything else on a bike that came with a switch though.
Absolutely no need for that cfh!!
That just makes you send like a knob.
