View Thumbnail GalleryMountain bikers looking for the technical advantages of a dropper postwithout the price tag of one of the higher-end options now have a budget option from KS. The new eTen seatpost offers 100mm ofdrop via air sprung and hydraulically locked internals similar to the company'sflagship LEV seatposts.
However, whereas the LEV has its guts built directly into the aluminumstanchion, the eTen uses a separate sealed steel cartridge for easiermanufacturing. Also, the eTen uses a more basic microadjustable single-boltseatpost head, as opposed to the LEV's twin-bolt setup.
Not surprisingly, the eTen is also quite a bit heavier at 643-723gdepending on size. But on the upside it's also quite inexpensive. The cableactuated remote version is just US$175, while the manual variant is cheaperstill at only US$150.
The KS LEV continues to be an appealing option for 2013
