If you're a dedicated single trail rider, you'll hardly want to do without a dropper seatpost. Now you can do without a big hole in your budget: Kind Shock is launching inexpensive dropper posts with the "eTEN" line.

The price starts at 169 francs, for which the lever for raising and lowering the saddle is located under the saddle. For 199 francs, you can move the saddle using a cable remote control on the handlebars, with the linkage located on the post head. The top model of the low-priced seatposts is the "eTeni Integra", which impresses with the simple remote control outlet at the end of the seatpost and thus the simple wiring of the remote control through the frame - the cost here is 249 francs.

And why are these supports half the price of the top models? Mainly because of the weight, the supports weigh between 200 and 400 grams more. The selection of diameters and lift variants is also significantly smaller. The operating forces for lowering should also be expected to be somewhat higher.

The supports are available from the Swiss Kind Shock supplier Trail Supply.
