KS Lev Ci seatpost


The dropper post has revolutionised riding for Many of us, allowing both efficient climbing And confident descending. The cross-country racing scene has been reluctant to follow suit; the weight penalty has rendered them almost unheard of on pro race steeds.

The Lev Ci from KindShock aims to fill this void. With a carbon mast and short 65mm drop, the weight penalty is minimised. Even the remote lever is made from carbon fibre, and controls the motion of the post via an internally routed cable. With a hydraulic damping and locking mechanism, the action is smooth and can be stopped anywhere within the travel. Our 30.9mm sample weighs 445g (31.6mm diameter Is also available).

PRICE 690$

The handling, smoothness, speed and all-round agility of the basic bike still make it a real blast for technical trail riding though, and it’s a great base for upgrading over time.
