This is an all new dropper as every part on it has been re-evaluated and updated so that it provides a reliable riding experience. Additionally, the Reverb comes with a dropper lever which is a nice touch considering the price point.

Fox Transfer

When Fox first introduced their Transfer seatpost, we knew it would be a hit. Not only does it look great in the Kashima coating, but it has proven itself time and time again to be a reliable and affordable option. An infinitely adjustable design with the choice of either internal or external routing makes this dropper tough to beat. Additionally, the Fox Transfer offers significant modulation to make it easy to regulate the return speed and small height adjustments while on the trail. The dropper of choice for many of us here at Worldwide, the Fox Transfer dropper seatpost simply gets the job done.
