The Fox Transfer SL dropper post is now available with 125mm- and 150mm-travel options.<\/span><\/p>\n

Previously, the maximum travel of the <\/span>dropper post<\/span><\/a> was 100mm in a 31.6mm diameter, limiting the drop on offer for taller riders.<\/span><\/p>\n

The dropper is available in two versions. The Performance Elite will cost \u00a3369 \/ $329 \/ \u20ac449 \/ AU$549. <\/span>The Factory version costs \u00a3419 \/ $399 \/ \u20ac519 \/ AU$639 and features titanium hardware that Fox says saves 10g.<\/span><\/p>\n

The added lengths enable the dropper to be used on more types of frames.<\/span><\/figcaption> Derek Yarra \/ Fox<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

A Kashima coating is also used on the Factory shaft, which through a process of anodisation makes it less prone to corrosion, while reducing friction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fox claims the SL is 25 per cent lighter than its standard <\/span>Transfer<\/span><\/a> dropper post, starting at 327g for a 27.2mm-diameter post.<\/span><\/p>\n

The additional lengths mean the Transfer SL is now available in 50mm, 70mm, 75mm, 100mm, 125mm and 150mm-travel options. The two new lengths will only be available in the 31.6mm <\/a><\/span>diameter<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Transfer SL locks only at the bottom and top of the shaft.<\/span><\/figcaption> Derek Yarra \/ Fox<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

Fox\u2019s Transfer SL uses a two-position system, locking only at the top and bottom of the dropper shaft in the quest for weight saving.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This differs from other posts on the market that can be locked at any point on the shaft.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mechanical actuation is used to operate the dropper and is compatible with <\/span>SRAM Matchmaker<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Shimano I-Spec<\/span><\/a> mounts, as well as Shimano\u2019s GRX drop-bar dropper lever.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fox says it chose mechanical actuation for weight savings, because hydraulic systems \u2013 such as that found on the <\/span>RockShox Reverb <\/span><\/a>\u2013 require extra seals to keep the hydraulic fluid where it belongs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The post supports 7mm and 7x9mm oval saddle rails.<\/span><\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n
