No more seatpost cable issue! KS LEV
KS Lev is in stock now.

The LEV family is the latest in drop seatpost innovation. The only hydraulically locked and air sprung post to feature zero cable movement and up to six inches of silky smooth travel. Couple that with patented and unmatched one way roller bearing to ensure miles of play-free movement. Thrown in a micro adjustable head, ergonomic carbon fiber remote that replaces an ODI Lock-On inner clamp and LEV is the ultimate dropper to let you keep rhythm on your ride.

Also got 5 stars from MBA. http://kssuspension.com/lev-receives...n-bike-action/

Any word on a 27.2mm version? These sound great from the preliminary reports.

My buddy recently picked up the 150 version. It's quite nice, super smooth.

Just one small flaw. If you have the post at some point in the middle of the travel and hit the switch it won't pop up. You have to sit down a bit and then it'll come up.

I was really happy with my 950 except the actuating mechanism kept getting filled with mud and crap. Looks like that won't be a problem with this one. And the KS remote is my favourite of the ones I've used (KS, X-fusion Hilo, Reverb, Joplin)

Yes. That stiction usually occurs when the seatpost is left unused for several hours.. not common during a ride.

They look nice.
OK Now the hard questions.
Who's servicing them?
What's the warranty?
What's the expected turn around time for warranty repairs?
Are they user serviceable?
Will parts be readily available?

I played with one. Works awesome. Super smooth.

Glad to see more sizes coming.

KS posts are serviced by Norco(Port Coquitlam) and Lambert. Warranty is 2 years from purchase date and turn around time varies depending time of year and availability of parts. No parts are available for the users to repair as far as we know.
