Fox is arguably the biggest player in mountain bike suspension and has had a reliable dropper post, the DOSS, in its line up since 2012. While few found fault with the DOSS's actual function, the external cable routing, lack of infinite travel adjustments and large, unsightly remote were shortcomings that some riders found hard to deal with.

Drop, cable and remote options
Like almost all dropper posts, the amount of saddle drop is dependent on the seatpost length. For the Transfer, the 100mm drop is housed in a 356mm long post, the 125mm drop in a 406mm long post, and the 150mm drop in a 456mm long post. All lengths are offered for either 30.9mm or 31.6mm diameter seat tubes.

Both internal and external cable routing options are available. The external cable routing terminates at the top of the seatpost outer (instead of at the seat clamp) so the cable is fixed thereby preventing any excess cable movement as the post cycles up and down.
Two remotes are available. An over the bar option for bikes with a front shifter and an under the bar remote for bikes running a single ring drivetrain. I tested the under the bar remote since I'm front derailleur free, plus I like the ergonomics of having the remote readily available without having to unwrap my thumb from the grip quite as much. It should be noted that whichever you choose, the remote is sold separately from the post in the US for $65.
Durable and smooth
Excellent execution
