RockShoxReverb AXS XPLR Dropper Post(Return to Product Page)

As a road cyclist with a pretty seat to bar drop with a pretty similar setup on my gravel bik this component was interesting. Descending down bumpy gravel that leaned over got my curious to try a drop bar reason one to drop center of gravity and get the saddle out of my way and reason two being the active dampening seemed pretty cool to get a bit of comfort.

Everything was great and worked perfectly 75 mm is more then enough. The only negative is the weight and large battery unit seat clamp thing.

It takes a bit to tinker and get the seat angle to your exact liking.

Weight wise is should be 100 grams lighter for how much it costs.

Also you have to buy the rox shock pump to get the high psi needed.

If sram can't cut the weight at least include the pump.

Used on a gravel bike without dropper cable routing. Gives me a more secure feeling on downhills and technical stuff and is easy to activate using SRAM axs shifters. Has a slight amount of bushing play straight out of the box. Hopefully that doesn't develop into more with time. It's heavy and aint cheap, but I will take that over having to use cable ties to route a cable outside the frame and a weird dropbar dropper lever.

For mtn bikes I prefer mechanical droppers. This is only way to go on drop bars through smooth fast operations.

Pros: Super easy set up and integrates nicely with AXS system. Very responsive. When fully extended, there is no dampening but when slightly lowered, the post absorbs vibration nicely. Definitely improves confidence on gnarly descents.

Cons: A bit heavy. Battery behind post makes it difficult to fit a seat mounted bag. Price :\

Works great with the rest of my wireless system. Seamless integration and very responsive. I went with the 50 travel, if I had to do it over again I would go for the 75. 50 is good, but I would prefer that extra little bit of range.

I go down pretty steep descents on gravel usually over 13% and this makes the ride feel way better.

Price was better than anywhere else so I thought I�d give it a go. Works great on my gravel bike and gives me more confidence on some of the more technical routes I do. The active ride is nice bonus. Only negative is it�s heavy!

?The seat post is built well and operates perfectly.? My bike frame wouldn't allow for a longer Dropper; if yours can, I suggest going with the dropper that offers more drop for better off-seat weight transfer.

I was initially hesitant due to the added weight from my FSA ultra-light carbon post to this dropper but I am amazed about the built-in compliance system. I can definitely go faster downhill.

I also like the integration with my 1x Sram Force AXS.

My bike does not have wiring routing; making a wireless control ideal.

Great dropper. Connected easily with my axs 1x shifters
