Kind Shock presents new generation of Vario supports

The market leader for dropper seatposts is launching the next generation of seatposts on the market. With the new "LEV" model, Kind Shock is bringing hydraulic seatposts that put the competition under pressure in terms of weight and technology.

The new Kind Shock "LEV" is no longer released under the saddle, but on the shaft of the seat post. With this innovation, the cable can be permanently routed on the bike. The large cable bend that occurs when the seatpost is lowered is a thing of the past. With the new "LEV", problems with springy rear triangles are a thing of the past. Unsightly scrapes are also reduced.

Free choice of cable position
The cable entry point in the seat post can now be rotated 360 degrees around the shaft and thus fixed in any position. This means that the cable can be optimally positioned for almost any bike model

New micro saddle clamp
Kind Shock is introducing a new system with the 2-bolt clamp and the elimination of the serrated clamp. This clamping system offers better fine adjustment of the saddle position and is also stronger than other systems. Another step forward is the lower base of the clamping head. Despite the associated material savings, the new LEV is noticeably stiffer.

Weight reduction
Kind Shock has reduced the overall weight. Depending on the version, the new Kind Shock "LEV" will have a total weight of 450 to 475 grams. A great value that undercuts many competitor models by a good 20 percent.

Model details
The new Kind Shock "LEV" will be produced with 100, 125 and 150 millimetre travel and diameters of 27.2, 30.9 and 31.6 millimetres. All models will be available exclusively with remote control.

Availability
The Kind Shock "LEV" will be available in Switzerland at the beginning of 2012. Prices will be available from Eurobike in September 2011.
