YEP - a Vario support from Switzerland

With YEP Components, a Swiss inventor is shaking up the seatpost market. The Ticino-based company currently has two Vario seatposts with up to 155 millimetres of travel in its range. YEP stands for high quality standards and Swiss production.

With the "Uptimizer ST" seatposts for normal bikes and the "Uptimizer HC" for bikes with internal cable routing, YEP Components wants to defy the cork competition. The details of these Swiss-made Vario seatposts are impressive. Both work hydraulically and can be adjusted via a joystick using a cable. At 500 grams, the two seatposts are absolutely competitively light. And that's not all - only high-quality materials such as seals from Angst & Pfister are used to keep the system clean and achieve a long service life.
Both "Uptimizers" are extended using air pressure. Unlike other Vario props, the YEP props are loaded with less air pressure. While standard products on the market require up to 250 psi of pressure, the YEP system only needs 180 psi. This puts less strain on the seals, for example. The two seat posts are available in diameters of 30.9 and 31.6 millimetres and in installation lengths of 375, 405 and 435 millimetres. At CHF 489, this Swiss product costs no more than those of major foreign manufacturers.
