OneUp Components just announced that they’re getting into the dropper post game. In their words, it’s the world’s shortest, long travel dropper post. A few things that are rather appealing are its low price of $248 WITH global shipping and the remote lever, which – by the way – is carbon fiber. The post’s travel is also adjustable, the 170mm post is adjustable down to 120mm and the 150mm post is adjustable down to 100mm. More details in the press release below…
• Drop 170mm (tuneable to 120mm), 150mm (tuneable to 100mm)
• Diameter 30.9, 31.6
• Routing Internal only
• Weight Post, remote, housing and cable from 595g (150 x 30.9mm). Remote from 32g (I-spec II)
• Stack Height (collar to rail)
– 170mm = 207mm
– 150mm = 187mm
• Effective Length (Total length without actuator)
– 170 = 450mm
– 150 = 410mm
• Min Insertion
– 170 = 110mm
– 150 = 90mm
LESS CASH
$248 USD, including remote and free shipping worldwide.
Post $199 USD. Remote $49 USD (includes cable, housing and either I-Spec-II, MatchMaker or bar clamp).
NO BLEEDING
With a simple and reliable cable actuated remote you never have to bleed your dropper remote again. The cable setup is quick and easy. The cable clamps at the lever making shortening the housing length for clean routing a breeze. Unlike a hydraulically actuated dropper, there is no temperature sensitivity and If your remote gets damaged you can still lower or extend your post by removing it from your frame and pushing on the actuator by hand.
BETTER REMOTE
A carbon remote with oversized bearing and a super smooth action. The unique lever position allows you to keep a stronger grip on the bars while actuating your post. Don’t think twice about dropping your post, even when charging into technical sections. The OneUp lever mimics your R/H shifter’s inboard upshift paddle position instead of the usual downshift paddle position of most remotes. This position requires considerably less thumb movement to reach the lever.
TUNEABLE
Don’t get stuck between dropper sizes. The unique OneUp travel adjust shims allow you to custom tune your post by lowering the travel and extended length of your post by as much as 50mm in any increment you like. Want an oh so fashionable 128.99mm drop? You got it! Drop tuning can be done on-bike, tool free and without removing the saddle or touching a shock pump. Lowering the post travel also increases bushing overlap, which is great for heavier riders.
MORE DROP
More drop = More fun. The further out of the way you can get your saddle on downhills the more confidence you’ll have and the harder you can ride. With a combination of the shortest available stack height and effective length of any equivalent travel post on the market, most riders can now upgrade their 125mm or 150mm post to a 170mm OneUp dropper.
