Bicycle Gear News That Could Be True But Probably Isn’t 

RockShox has dominated the ultra-high-end Dropper Post market since the day their $1000 wireless Reverb AXS option was released. Even with a Kashima coating and a good remote, Fox’s top-end Factory Transfer post was raising and lowering seats for only half that amount. Until today.

Introducing the Live Valve equipped Fox Transfer Grip2 VVC Dropper Post. With adjustable high and low-speed compression and rebound damping and Variable Valve Control, there has never been a more tuneable, consistent, high-performance, premium-priced dropper post. 

“THE SYSTEM IS COMPLEX, BUT WHAT YOU GET IS SIMPLE. IT’S DOING THE WORK FOR YOU.” – Fox Racing Shox

“FOX is electrifying the mountain bike world with their Live Valve system, achieving a clearly noticeable gain in performance.” -Design And Innovation Award

The advantages of the Live Valve dropper post are multi-fold. Thanks to the hard-wired system, running off a single battery, bored friends won’t be inclined to mess about with your actuator. Credit to the single battery, now the built-in excuse of “I forgot to charge my battery” is exponentially more powerful, extending to suspension, a dropper post, and shifting for those running Di2. Add in the excuse of your bike shop screwing up your complicated dropper post settings as justification for a particularly poor showing on a group ride. More importantly, you’re guaranteed to have the most expensive dropper post on the market until Cornelius Kapfinger releases a must-have mostly-German-made model that looks like a Maverick Speedball. 

Your friends may ask if there’s any performance advantage over a post that costs seven times less and is equally good at going up-and-down at the push of a button… but just tell yourself – if they have to ask it could potentially be because they can’t afford it.
