When it comes to Magura, the future of mountain biking will most certainly be electrified. The Germany brake and suspension manufacturer already has a line of electronically-controlled forks and shocks and is poised to introduce the world’s first cable-free, electronically-controlled dropper seatpost.
The Vyron eLECT relies on the ANT+ protocol. A wireless signal from the remote controls the movement of a servomotor inside the seatpost, which in turn controls the flow of Magura’s ‘Royal Blood’ mineral oil that regulates the movement of the seatpost through 150mm of variable travel.
While auto-dropping seatposts may be on the horizon, the Vyron eLECT still relies on the user to weight the seatpost in order for it to drop.

The eLECT Remote can be mounted to the right or left side of the handlebar. If the bike is also equipped with Magura’s eLECT fork and shock, the user can opt to use a single eLECT remote to control the dropper as well as the front and rear suspension.
