First Wireless Dropper Post Developed by TranzX 10

Taichung, December 6, 2013 - TranzX, a world-leader in high quality bicycle components and electronic e-bike drive systems, introduces the latest offering for the rapidly advancing mountain bike and biking comfort sectors: three adjustable dropper post variations for the bicycle industry.

First Wireless Dropper Post Worldwide

Extending to augment the rider’s own pedaling efforts during climbs, the innovative, top-of-the-line TranzX Dropper Post (JD-YSP06) retracts by wireless command to optimize technical riding on the downhill – bringing technical finesse and precision comfort to an already indispensable accessory for MTB sport. In one fluid motion, riders enjoy uninterrupted momentum and flow without distraction and without dismounting – achieving maximum performance both in traction and movement: state-of-the-art bike technology at an attractive price.

Three Models: All-round Reliable Performance for Every Pocketbook

All three TranzX Dropper Posts share reliable, infinite adjustment functionality at various comfort levels. The two hydraulic models, JD-YSP02 Basic, with exterior cabling, and JD-YSP03 ICR, with interior cable routing, offer infinite hydraulic seat adjustment via handlebar lever control. The top-of-the-line, 2.4 GHz wireless version JD-YSP06 operates via micro motor – smooth and cable-free with convenient handlebar control. The elegant seat post head designs of all three models facilitate secure and easy saddle mounting.
