Hello and happy Friday! Welcome to this week's edition of 11spd, your regular dose of fresh bike gear to kick off the weekend. Today we've got your road and mountain needs covered with a new dropper seatpost, enduro grips, gnarly fat bike treads and speedy road rubber, a helmet with an integrated tail light, a thermal jacket and more.
New mountain bike gear
Race Face Turbine dropper
The dropper seatpost market is heating up for a growing number of competitors. Rather than start from scratch with an unproven design, Race Face opted to use trail-tested internals developed by 9point8 and integrate them into its own seatpost. This bodes well for the Turbine’s performance, as we’ve been very impressed by the reliability of the 9point8 Fall Line we’ve been abusing for months.

The internally routed Turbine uses a quick-connect system, allowing it to be easily removed for travel or to easily swap between bikes. It comes with a universal lever that can be mounted on the right or left side of the handlebar. Race Face also offers a 1x specific lever that mounts in place of the front shift lever.
The Turbine is available in 30.9 and 31.6mm diameters with 100, 125 and 150mm of drop.
