While they certainly aren’t anything new, it seems likely 2017 will be the year that dropper posts start to extend (sorry) into every corner of mountain biking — and some parts of road riding too.
Obviously Shimano’s late entry into the dropper post market might have made a lot of noise, but there’s been an explosion in brands looking to get a slice of this ever-growing market — with new units from KS, e*thirteen, X-Fusion as well as some other rather out there designs.

The KS — or Kind Shock to its friends — range is really starting to pick up pace, with a range of more affordable posts, 175mm drop options and lightweight carbon units, but the most exciting news has to be a new wirelessly operated post.
Magura’s Vyron post might have been the first to introduce wireless actuation, but it looks like this relatively small brand has managed to create an item that’s much swifter in operation as well as being much longer lasting, if the claims are to be believed.
