Hands Down The Best Dropper I’ve Used!
Rating:
The Good
I demo over 20 bikes on an average year so I’ve ridden most of the current droppers on the market. Most are pretty good these days. Some still need some work! I use my dropper a lot so when it doesn’t work well it really throws me off. The sad thing was the droppers on over half the bikes I rode had some sort of issue. Everything from minor-major sticking to straight up stopped working. Worse yet most of them where only a few rides old. Almost all the problem posts where the from same brand. All that changed when I demoed an Ibis Ripmo and it had a Revive on it. First thought? Oh it’s smooth very very smooth. It makes most other posts feel like they are well not smooth. It takes minimal effort to push it down. The return speed is just right. It worked so well in fact that I specced one on my new bike.
I generally try to fit the longest post I can on a bike. The overall length of Bike Yoke posts is shorter than most other posts. This allows you to put a longer post on your bike. I went with a 180mm but I easily could have put a 200mm on my LG Ripmo. The clamp has held my saddle snugly without so much of a peep or the slightest bit of movement. Despite my high rate of crashing in the past year. It also allows me to use my lever of choice. I use a Specialized SLR dropper lever. That in my opinion is the best dropper lever you can buy. It’s shaped just like a SRAM shift lever. It bolts directly to my matchmaker clamps. It also has a good amount of adjustability and is silky smooth. Bike Yoke has added a sweet little reset set valve to the post. So if it does get some air in it it’s easy to get it out. A quick turn of an Allen key and cycle the post and it’s good to go. I never had to do this on a ride but I did cycle it through about once month along with my other regular maintenance. The best thing though is that the Revive worked without fault for the last year. Through intense heat, rain and mud, to freezing cold and snow. It simply disappeared.
The Bad
The included cable housing was not good! But to be fair that’s not uncommon for stock dropper post cable. I tossed it in the trash and used Shimano SIS housing and cable.
Overall Review:

Overall the Revive is a fantastic dropper post that does everything I expect without fault. I’d  recommend it to anyone.
