Fox Transfer Factory dropper post


If you can afford it, Fox’s Transfer is a totally bombproof, sweet-performing post that can be switched between internal and external routing. It uses a typical hook-ended actuator lever design, but cable clamping and cutting is done at the lever end, making it a much easier process. The light-action remote lever is available in under-bar shifter style or vertical ‘universal’ format, too.You do have to buy that separately, for $105, on top of the $554 post cost, though, which seems steep given its average, wobbly-from-new design. Function is silk smooth though, with excellent speed and position control. Every Transfer we’ve used has stayed that way indefinitely, no matter how bad the conditions or minimal the maintenance. That makes the high price a reasonable investment, and the Performance version skips the gold Kashima coating of the Factory post to save $75.You can even switch to external operation using an actuator at the collar.
