Six years ago, Magura ushered in a new era of electronically controlled bicycle components. The Vyron was the first Vario seatpost on the market to be equipped with a wireless remote control - a good product, but it had weaknesses such as a delayed response time and was not intuitive to use. Now Magura is launching the third evolutionary stage of the Vyron, which has been redeveloped from the ground up. It should now set new standards in terms of intuitive operation, resilience and speed.

New, intuitive operation

The seat post and remote control have been redesigned from the ground up. The Vyron MDS V3 remote control can be ergonomically positioned on the underside of the handlebars, just like the gearshift on the right-hand side. It is easy to reach with the thumb and can optionally be attached to the brake lever with Magura's Shiftmix clamp. An aluminum protection ring ensures high impact and drop resistance.

The communication between the remote control and the seat post is fast and instantaneous via Bluetooth. The intuitive operation of the new Vyron MDS-V3 is similar to that of conventional, wired seatposts - the seatpost adjusts as long as the remote control lever is operated with the thumb.

High durability thanks to new battery concept

Mud, moisture and dirt are the enemies of all electronics. To protect the control unit, Magura has dispensed with a charging socket on the Vyron MDS-V3 and instead relies on a sealed battery cover. Power is supplied by a replaceable CR2 lithium battery with a service life of at least one year. Thanks to this battery concept, the new VYRON is IP67-certified and can even withstand brief immersion in water.

New hydraulics for more speed

The hydraulics inside the seatpost are also uncompromisingly designed for speed. The completely redesigned inner workings of the seatpost and a new, faster drive ensure a better flow of oil between the hydraulic chambers. This should allow the seatpost to be lowered at lightning speed when the rider needs it most.

The Magura MDS-V3 is available in two diameters and four stroke variants (100 mm, 125 mm, 150 mm and 175 mm). By replacing the inner tube base, the stroke of the seat post can be easily adjusted from 175 to 150 millimetres and from 125 to 100 millimetres. This saves money, increases flexibility and ensures that the Vyron can also be quickly and easily fitted to other bikes.

The non-binding retail price of the Magura Vyron MDS-V3 is 579.90 euros including 19 percent VAT. It can be ordered from specialist dealers from November 21 and is expected to be delivered from December. The sales launch will take place exclusively in Europe.

Regular, free service

From the sales launch until February 28, 2023, the first 1000 customers can register their Vyron at www.magura-vyron.com for a regular service worth 139 euros free of charge. The customer is free to choose the service date, but Magura recommends carrying out the service after about one season.
