I have done the usual Google searches but can only find the remote version...
Anyone know something I don't (with regard to this of course)
Thanks,
Andy.
Picture here shows a couple of non-remote versions
Excellent price too
EDIT: Sorry that's the 100mm drop version
Could be wrong but i thought the Hilo came with the remote as standard and the lever is in the box to make it non remote?

Yup, that's how mine came. Had both remote/lever in the box for the all black 27.2 version I got from Merlin anyway.
ah I see! thanks guys 🙂
Mine didn't come with the lever, just the remote, but then I got a cheap OEM one from Germany. If you get a boxed up one it might have the lever but I'd check first if you're really bothered.
Mine come with both
Don't really want any more clutter on my bars... I'll email the person I end up buying form before I buy to double check.
Are these any good?
I have been looking at them too. Likewise I want the non-remote version to avoid bar clutter.
My usual suspects wiggle and merlin don't have the 27.2 size I need in stock though.
are what any good dude? sorry mate the link didn't post or something?
He means the subject of this thread. 🙄
I've had one for a few months. Really like it and had no issues at all. It's a bit heavier than most but looks well built and is easy to service (plenty of on-line hints and tips).
I have a boot over mine (old innertube) with lots of nice silicon spray. So hopefully that will increase its reliability.
Mine came with both remote and michael jackson crutch grab lever.
I've heard nothing but good things so far about them...
Are you lot all referring to the 100mm option or the 125mm option that the Op is referring to?
As I'm still waiting for a 27.2 dropper post that has 125mm of travel adjust. 100mm just doesn't cut it and that's all you can get all the usual suspects in GD and the like.
According to the Xfusion website the 125mm is available in 27.2 and 31.6 but can't find one.
Upgrade/Dmr bring them in don't they? Maybe a phone call
oops, I was referring to the 100mm version.
Have made a innertube boot with zipties like chunkyMTB to keep the crud out. Not pretty, but effective so far.
It still makes a bit of a squelchy racket when compressed and I needed to increase the pressure a touch to get it to fully extend properly. Only other negative was the crazy amount of torque I needed to put into the saddle rail clamp to get it to stay put.
100mm is fine for most stuff but 125mm would be even better.
