Many riders, including myself, have found that using a right hand XLoc remote mounted to the underside of the bar in place of a front shifter offers the best ergos, but that choice obviously won't be ideal for a lot of riders out there. The Reverb's remote is available in both left and right options, and can be attached to the same clamp as the brake lever and shifter via their MatchMaker X mount, or run separately for a more independent position. The Reverb installs like any other seat post, with the addition of routing the hydraulic line and mounting the XLoc remote. The post oil that allows the Reverb to travel up and down, and also be held firmly in place, flows between the inner and outer tubes, and is backed up with an internal floating piston ( IFP) to keep the Reverb from becoming soft if the saddle is raised by hand. The remote fluid is contained within the XLoc trigger, hose and the post's head, while the air spring is enclosed at the bottom of the outer tube. One of the key design features hidden within the Reverb is that its 2.5wt hydraulic remote fluid, post oil and air springs are all kept completely separate from each other. A dual bolt head without indexing offers infinite saddle tilt adjustments, and the bolts thread into steel inserts to prevent heavy handed home mechanics from causing any fatal damage. The 125mm version that we review here can be had in either 380 or 420mm lengths, with my long legs requiring the taller of the two options. While a lot of riders will question the reason for going with the 100mm version, it will make sense for shorter riders thanks to its 355mm total length. The Reverb is available in two different travel options, either 100 or 125mm of drop, to best suit your riding, height and seat tube length. Weight: 520 grams ( including remote, hose and hardware) 100mm and 125mm drop options ( infinite height adjustment) Hydraulically controlled telescoping seat post The Reverb offeres 125mm of drop, and is the only telescoping post that is activated with a hydraulic remote.
