The GravityDropper Descender is designed for the minimalist. Although most people choose to operate from the handlebar, there are those that dont want this option. The Descender is convertable into a Turbo (with puchase of hardware).
Why Lower?
- Want to descend faster and with more control? Lower your seat. You will feel an immediate change in the way your bike handles.
- Lowering your center of gravity (GravityDropper™) means better balance, more control,
and more confidence, which gives you the ability to go faster !! - Ride sections you have only walked before!
- Maintain speed in sections you’ve had to back off a little before!
- Extra safety on downhill and technical sections!!
Why Raise?
- Most efficient position for climbing and level terrain.
- To deliver maximum power to the pedals, you must have your seat in a raised position. Many bikers compromise their seat height for more technical riding. With Descenderpost, there is no compromise. Seat High for power and climbing. Seat low for descending.
How It Works?
- Reach down and pull the knob located on the front of the post and sit down. Your seat will lock in the lower position. To raise, while sitting, pull the knob and sit up.
- The Descender Post design is mechanical. There are no seals to blow and no oil to leak.
- With Gravitydropper Descender, it takes a fraction of a second to raise or lower your seat.
