Fox has been offering the "D.O.S.S" variable seatpost for some time now. However, with its external cable mounted on the post head, it no longer quite meets the standard, even if it is technically flawless and still belongs to the more robust variety. It was therefore to be expected that a post with an internally routed control cable would soon be available. Fox showed the first prototypes on their Instagram account back in the fall of 2015 - around six months later the transfer, which looks more like the final look - seen on Greg Callaghan's Cube Stereo 140 race bike.

Exact information about the "Transfer" could not be elicited from its mechanics, but judging by the look, the Transfer should have 15 centimeters of travel - that would be 2.5 centimeters more than the "D.O.S.S" offers at maximum. The remote control is also significantly different. Previously clunky and not very handy, the new thumb lever is fine and ergonomic. It naturally takes the position of the former left-hand gearshift - not quite ideal for those who use two-speed shifting systems.

In addition to the internal cable routing, the Kashima look and the indexing on the back of the post are further features. More detailed information about the new part will probably follow soon from the official side. After all, when a brand like Fox lets its top athletes ride new products at a World Series race, they are probably almost ready for series production. The "Transfer" has already passed its baptism of fire with flying colors - as an important component of the bike of the victorious Greg Callaghan.
