Reviews say the new remote-controlled dropper post from Thomson is smooth stuff<\/h1>\n

The Thomson Elite Dropper post<\/a> is available in Canada mid-June 2013. The adjustable seatpost uses oil, nitrogen, and a slim, remote-control lever on the handlebar to instantly lower or raise your saddle up to 5 inches (125mm) on the trail.<\/p>\n

Thomson Dropper post: 5 inches of travel with a nitrogen boost.<\/p><\/div>\n

True to Thomson’s reputation<\/strong> for hand-crafted componentry, the one-piece inner post is hand-forged for strength and reliability. The entire post assembly weighs just 592g, and is currently available in 30.9 and 31.6 post widths, both at a 400mm length.<\/p>\n

According to Dropper specifications<\/a>, the oil-dampened, nitro-charged post moves at a rate of .3 meters per second, but slows in the last 15mm of upwards travel for a comfortable return.<\/p>\n
