Thomson Elite Covert Dropper Post


KNOWN FOR THEIR quality manufacturing and classy aesthetics, Thomson’s entry into the dropper seatpost market was welcomed by many.

The Covert is their first internally routed post, following 2013’s Elite Dropper, and delivers 125mm of stop-anywhere, cable activated and hydraulically damped drop. It shares its cartridgebased design with the Elite Dropper, and also its neat lever, which matches well with Shimano and SRAM set-ups due to its short throw and ergonomic design.

PRICE 500$
