Dropper Post in the third evolutionary stage

Magura Vyron 2023

Six years ago, Magura ushered in a new era of electronically controlled bicycle components. The Yyron seatpost was the first dropper post on the market to be equipped with remote control. Now the third, further improved version is rolling out.

Both the seatpost and remote have been developed from scratch: Similar to the shift lever on the right-hand side, the remote of the Vyron MDS-V3 is ergonomically positioned on the underside of the handlebars. The lever is easily accessible with a small thumb movement and can optionally be mounted directly on the brake lever with a Shiftmix clamp. A protective ring made of aluminum ensures high resistance to impacts or falls.

The communication between the remote and the seat post is lightning-fast and instantaneous via Bluetooth, while the operating logic of the new Vyron MDS-V3 corresponds to that of conventional, wired dropper posts: as long as the operating lever on the remote is actuated, the saddle height can be adjusted.

Mud, moisture and dirt are enemies of all electronics. To protect the control unit, the new seat post does not have a charging socket and instead relies on a sealed electronics cover. A replaceable CR2 lithium battery with a service life of at least one year is used for the power supply.
