EXA Form 860i 30.9mm/31.6mm Suspension Dropper Post with Lever Kit, Air Suspension Travel 40mm, Dropper Travel 100mm/125mm/150mm

The media could not be loaded. Okay I gave a prematurely negative review of this dropper post, I have already returned for a new one thinking I just had a bad one now I know it just didn't have enough air I was expecting it to work right out of the box and it pretty much did but it would stick in the lowered position and i would have to manually lift it back up this was also probably due to the lowered air pressure. I purchased a shock pump and will try it on the new dropper post.

The media could not be loaded. I recieved the package and it was missing the bolt to the bar clamp and the nut was at the bottom of the box. I installed the dropper and it works great but the lever is crap. When opening the clamp ( it's not hinged and it's all plastic) it requires you to stretch it open around the bar, well it snaps becuase it's not flexible plastic. Also it's not a crimp set screw type meaning you have to adjust the cable length at the seat dropper, which is impossible on most bikes. Do not by this. It's frustrating crap.Update 03/06/2024Seller reached out to resolve issue and sent new lever. Still wasn't able to make it work with the second lever they sent becuase it was a one piece clamp (hingeless). but I found a lever for about 50$ from REI that worked great. Seller attempted to make things right by covering most the cost of the lever I bought so that deserves 4 stars for customer service!

Great dropper overal and the suspension travel is pretty great. However as soon as I installed it I noticed it was missing some kind of nut for the dropper lever. Still works tho. I Tried reaching out to the company for product support but haven't gotten anything more the a FAQ sheet.

Looks like a decent product but was missing the tiny screw used to clamp on to the wire. I saw someone else with the complaint but assumed it was a fluke. I am convinced it was not included as I had seen the review and was careful. Need to work on the packingUpdate - was able to find the screw at the local hardware store for 34cents. Still a hassle. On a side note, you will need to take off your brake and shifter (assuming you put on the right side) to slide the lever on. Do not try to spread it to fit over the bar.

A dropper seat post is a significant upgrade to a medium or high priced, full-suspension or front suspension, mountain bike that will be ridden on technical downhills. It allows the rider to lower the seat, getting it out of the way, so the rider can crouch behind the seat putting weight in the best place and enhancing control. Many high-end mountain bikes now come with a dropper seat post.This is an internally routed dropper post, preferable to an external post if it can be installed on your bike. Depending on the bike, installing a dropper seat post is relatively straightforward, difficult but possible, or impossible. If your bike has an outlet for the cable near the bottom of the seat tube, as shown in the photo of the orange bike, installation is relatively straightforward and can be done by a competent, careful, non-professional after watching a few YouTube videos. (There weren’t any installation instructions with the post.)If there is only a cable outlet near the top of the down tube, as shown in a photo of the blue bike, installation requires removing the crank and bottom bracket and careful routing of the cable through the bottom bracket area. This was the case for us mounting the post on the blue bike. Installation on the blue bike required a professional bike mechanic for which we paid about $70.If there are no cable outlets on the bike, as is common on older mountain bikes, a dropper seat post cannot be installed without drilling one, something that can be dangerous and is NOT recommended.The other three photos show the post installed on the blue bike, (a) with the seat at the normal, maximum height, peddling height, (b) with the seat fully depressed, and (c) showing the handlebar control. It’s a great addition. This particular dropper seat post also has a bit of seat suspension making it particularly suited for a front suspension (as compared to full suspension) bike. I have not compared this seat post with other similarly priced dropper posts. It is a lot less expensive than wireless dropper posts that might cost $700.

The overall product is great. I’ve had this product for over two months. I ride every day when the weather allows it. I use this dropper post constantly and it’s never failed! The only reason I’m not giving it five stars is because it came with no instructions and was kind of hard to install. Thanks YouTube.

The post itself works fine and is easy enough to install after watching some videos. I replaced the lever because it felt very plastic-y and sloppy.
