Eurobike: Magura launches a world first

For the first time, the Swabian brake and suspension specialist Magura is launching a variable seat post. The Vyron is operated via the "eLECT" system and offers a stepless adjustment range of 150 millimetres. It comes in the installation dimensions 30.9 and 31.6 millimetres.

Since the electronic locking system "eLECT" is already working on the suspension elements, the logical step is to also use it on the "Vyron" seatpost. This makes the Vyron eLECT the first radio-controlled variable seatpost. It is therefore very user-friendly and virtually maintenance-free thanks to the wireless remote control.

The saddle height can be adjusted by over 150 millimetres using the new eLECT remote and ANT+ wireless technology. This can also be used to optionally control the Magura suspension elements - all powerlessly at the touch of a button.
The Vyron eLECT should be available from specialist retailers in November 2015 for around 400 euros. Further information on this will follow.As with most dropper posts, the stepless lowering is hydraulic. Magura promises a practically maintenance-free system. If bleeding is necessary, this should be particularly easy. Furthermore, thanks to the wireless connection and quick release on the handlebars, the Vyron can be transferred from bike to bike in a few simple steps without the need for time-consuming cable routing.

Sleep mode saves valuable battery energy and a motion sensor in the seat post ensures that no lowering maneuvers are missed. The Magura engineers have even thought of emergencies. Because if the battery in the remote or the seatpost battery is low, up to 20 emergency lowerings are still possible - at the touch of a button directly on the seatpost. Back in civilization, the batteries can be charged using a micro USB plug.
