Dropper seatposts were initially designed for mountain biking, but we think they have their place in all conditions. In a city environment it's amazing how convenient a dropper seatpost is when coming to a stop. Lowering the set allows booth feet to be on the ground and with the press of a lever on the bars the seat raises right back up to your ideal saddle height. Lowering the seatpost before descending allows the rider to lower their center of gravity. Without the saddle up you can let the bike absorb impacts and flow with the trail easier. If you can't tell by now, we're big fans of droppers.
