Syncros Dropper 2.0 dropper post


Scott’s house-brand dropper is a slightly crude but reliable and reasonably light option at a good price, but costs $20 more than the essentially identical Brand-X post. OK, some of the laser-etched markings are different and it’s got a slightly glossier finish, but mechanically the two posts and their remotes are identical. Even the boxes they come in are the same, apart from colour and printing. Obviously, that makes the Brand-X slightly better value, but the Syncros post is still a decent option compared to other droppers and a welcome sight on complete Scott bikes. The lever is rattly from new. There’s also a bit of saddle twist, but the twin-bolt clamp is secure and easy to use. The rattle doesn’t get any worse over time either, and reliability of this family of posts is better than that of most more expensive and complicated options.Weight is reasonable too, and it comes in the most popular stroke lengths and diameters.

Weight 635g
Stroke 120, 150mm
Diameters 30.9, 31.6mm
Max length 440mm
Internal length 245mm

Price $270

SPECIALIZED P.STREET 2

S pecialized’s P.Series bikes have been much loved hardcore/ jump hybrid contenders for years and this 2014 nugget is no exception.
