31.6mm external routing dropper post for MTB riding
This dropper post suits mountain bikes that use a 31.6mm seatpost diameter and external cable routing. It gives riders up to 100mm of adjustable travel, so they can lower the saddle before descents and raise it again for seated pedalling.
Also, the external cable setup helps riders upgrade compatible frames that do not support internal routing. As a result, this seatpost can suit many hardtails, older mountain bikes and replacement builds where the 31.6mm diameter matches the frame.
