Fox has revealed its new Transfer dropper post, designed to combat the shortcomings of the previous model.<\/p>

The overhaul of the Transfer, already rated one of the best dropper posts<\/a>, sees the brand bidding to re-establish itself in the competitive dropper post market.\u00a0<\/p>

With the goal of making the new Transfer more robust, delivering smoother operation, and offering tunability and increased serviceability, Fox has gone back to the drawing board.\u00a0<\/p>

More options and greater adjustability<\/h2>
The new Transfer comes in five sizes, with user-adjustable travel. – Fox<\/figcaption><\/figure>
The new Transfer post is available in an extended range of sizes, with up to 240mm of drop. This should provide ample choice for riders seeking longer-travel options.\u00a0<\/p>
With five sizes available (120mm, 150mm, 180mm, 210mm and 240mm), each post enables tool-free travel adjustments dropping in 5mm increments to a 25mm reduction. This is intended to ensure optimal fit within various frame geometries.\u00a0<\/p>
This results in travel options from 95mm to 240mm in 5mm steps that should suit every frame and rider size.<\/p>
Durability improvements<\/h2>

Moving the air chamber to the top of the post has enabled Fox to install a Schrader valve, so riders can set the pressure to tailor return speeds. – Fox<\/figcaption><\/figure>
Fox has prioritised durability enhancements. It has redesigned the Transfer’s air system to minimise air loss by a claimed 62 per cent. This was achieved by eliminating dynamic air shaft seals, thanks to moving the air chamber to the top of the post.\u00a0<\/p>
The Transfer’s air-spring redesign enables user-friendly servicing, which should reduce costs and downtime.<\/p>
Fox has also introduced double oil seals with advanced wiper seals, substantially extending the cartridge’s service life. The new Transfer is claimed to boast an impressive 300-hour service interval.\u00a0<\/p>
Performance upgrades<\/h2>
$\"Fox$
The new internal and external seals are designed to help reduce the force needed to lower the post by 40 per cent. – Fox<\/figcaption><\/figure>
Fox has implemented friction-reducing measures, such as replacing the previous IGUS bushings with metal-backed Ekonol bushings, to achieve smoother operation and faster return speeds.\u00a0<\/p>
This upgrade enhances tolerances, and Fox claims it reduces the force required to lower the post by 40 per cent over the previous Transfer<\/a>. Fox boasts that this sets a new standard in dropper post performance.<\/p>
Enhanced tunability<\/h2>
$\"Fox$
The new Transfer post is available in Factory and Performance Elite models. – Fox<\/figcaption><\/figure>
Moving the air chamber to the top of the post introduces a Schrader valve<\/a> under the seat clamp. This enables you to fine-tune the post’s return speed by adjusting air pressure and enhancing customisation, according to individual preferences or atmospheric conditions.\u00a0<\/p>
Moreover, the tool-free internal travel-adjust system allows for quick modifications in 5mm increments, providing further versatility in tailoring the post’s travel to specific riding needs.<\/p>
Streamlined design and compatibility<\/h2>
$\"Fox$
Fox has redesigned the head and seat clamp to maintain the low stack height and improve aesthetics. – Fox<\/figcaption><\/figure>
Fox has refined the Transfer post’s design, including a sleeker two-bolt seat rail clamp for an updated aesthetic. It keeps stack height as low as possible.\u00a0<\/p>
The brand has also added a dedicated 34.9mm post option, optimising strength and aesthetics. This dedicated size includes a larger-diameter stanchion to deliver stiffness gains and ensure compatibility with a wide range of bike configurations.<\/p>
Fox says it wants the redesign of the Transfer dropper post to set a new performance, durability and user-friendliness benchmark, aiming to strengthen its position as the gold standard in dropper post technology.<\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n
