Sram's simple but ingenious intention with the Reverb AXS is: "No cables! No threading through! That's why we've developed a reliable electric dropper post - with a wireless remote control that triggers particularly easily and without delay."

The Reverb AXS uses the new Sram AXS communication platform, which enables networking and individualization of all compatible components. The Reverb is controlled, or the saddle raised or lowered, via a touch controller instead of the previous hydraulic lever.

Sram seems to have committed itself to a new simplicity across the board. The new post head has just one bolt for quick and easy clamping of the seat post. Another screw at the front of the post head ensures the correct angle of the saddle. A lot has also happened to the inner workings of the Reverb seatposts, which were previously considered prone to failure. The new Reverb AXS™ has been built around a new floating separating piston, which reduces friction, releases faster and requires less pressure on the saddle to lower it. "Thanks to a newly designed lubrication system, we reduce the internal resistance even further and ensure that the post functions smoothly and reliably," promises the component specialist.

The new Vent-Valve also represents a major step forward in terms of ease of use. With a dropper post, air can get into the oil, it lowers by around two centimetres before it locks, becomes spongy and needs servicing. The Reverb AXS now has a solution for this: you press a valve, compress the post upside down and set it back. This forces the air into the air chamber and only the oil remains where it should - the post should work like new again. This system is already known from the Revive dropper post from Bike Yoke.

The Reverb AXS is available in diameters of 30.9 mm, 31.6 mm and 34.9 mm and in adjustment ranges of 100 mm, 125 mm, 150 mm and 170 mm. The post has a rechargeable battery and the controller works with a CR2032 battery.
