If there is one mountain bike component that's shaped the way people ride now  it would arguably be the invention of the dropper seat post. Long gone are the days of getting on and off your bike to adjust the height of your seat post. Our friend Grant gives us his take on the Fox Transfer Factory Dropper Seat Post. Check it out! 

Overview

Man I was so hyped when this came out because I was always wanting a Fox Transfer Factory Dropper Seat Post with the gold coating but they only went up to 175mm but when they released the 200mm I was stoked and immediately went to go buy it. The problem was I didn't know where to look so a few websites later and I found it here at Worldwide Cyclery. It was amazing that someone other than amazon did free shipping with my purchase. Giving me the tracking number with USPS priority shipping was the icing on the cake.

After waiting for the dropper post to come which took maybe two days. It arrived and it was looking sharp. My previous one was a 2019 150 mm Fox dropper and the two big standouts right away were how much smaller the bottom end of the post was because other 200 mm droppers have HUGE bottom ends so you can't slam it all the way down but this I can do that. the other thing was the top end, It would now have less height when it was fully compressed so it would be lower.

When comparing this dropper with others the price might seem a little much but it is worth every penny!

 The longevity of not having to do that much maintenance and It still works just as good as it did when it was new. Some other droppers that are as good as this are pretty pricey, like the reverb which is not worth it with how hard it is to install, and also having to bleed it is annoying. The installation of the Fox dropper seat post was easy and took me literally 2 minutes to install and switch out my other one. The next thing is when you have Fox Factory suspension, having a matching dropper just completes the bike and I would have it no other way as it makes the bike shine with every part of it.

Just some cool things they updated after having it for a little bit was the installation of the seat post because now it is faster with the screws just loosening and flipping it off instead of unscrewing all the way and fumbling to put it back together.

Final Thoughts

The final message, If you are looking for a dropper that is fit and forgets and just complements your bike with the factory suspension and has crisp dropping power. this is your post. I guarantee that you will enjoy this post. If you think you won't like it, try it out and then see because if you don't, you can return it and spend that money on some black sucky dropper that you'll have to probably fix after it fails.
