Thinking of getting the KS droppper sear post but that max weight is 90kg (bike-discount.de) - any larger guys got a reverb (cant find an upper weight limit) or a ks? - I am 95kg 🙂 and like curry too much to drop weight!
I am a right chubber (heavier than you) and I use a RS Reverb with no issues at all.
I use an X-fusion dropper and I ain't no lightweight unfortunately. No issues
Ks/reverb and gravity dropper in the last few years not had a problem with any of them due to my 110 kg weight and gotta love t hem currys.
Bats.
I'm heavier than you OP and have had no problems with my Gravity Dropper.
I'm 95kg, and have an ICE Lift V8. £87 posted from purebike.fr!! (or £120 in uk)
Earlier this week, i asked this question of ks usa. They've no idea why the Germans are saying this and gave me the go ahead to use one and I'm closer to 100kg.
I'll be ordering my ks lev from Germany tomorrow.
I'm 94 kg and had a 3rd gen 34.9 reverb for 6 months in my old rockhopper frame no probs. Switched to a Soul and 27.2 and had two failed Hi-Lo fusions (one seized, one bent upper tube) and a failed trail dropper (tube cracks at drop holes+bent lower tube). Sticking to rigid seat posts until an eventual Soul upgrade and a chance to return to a (31.6) reverb......don't think the smaller diameter droppers are up to dealing with us 90kg+'ers.....just my experience. Very temped by the new LEV though!
I'm about 97kg and have been using a KS i950r (called supernatural now I think) for 2 years with no problems
95kg KS950 for two years , and reverb for 2 years no problems..
Heavier than you, ran a KXi900 for a year without any issues or servicing, now on a Reverb for almost as long, faultless again.
forgot to post the response from KS - I did get this email:
There is no rider weight limit.

I wonder why bike discount put a weight limit?
Perhaps they don't like us fat f*ckers? I weigh over 100kg and no issues with a reverb.
88kg on a GD here
