More drop, Less Drama – Meet the new Reverb AXS
RockShox just gave its wireless dropper post a serious revamp. The all-new Reverb AXS is sleeker, smoother, and now comes in longer travel options—up to a whopping 250mm—making it the longest dropper post on the market. It has the biggest range of sizes we’ve seen to date. The battery has been moved to the collar instead of near the saddle rails to help with maximizing the drop you can get out of your post.
The big story here is the travel-to-insertion ratio. RockShox trimmed the collar height and overall length, meaning you can fit more drop into your frame than you could before. With five drop length options 100mm, 125mm, 150mm, 175mm, 200mm, 225mm, & 250mm), you’ve got a post that adapts to almost any bike and rider setup. The reverb AXS is also available in 30.9mm, 31.6mm, 34.9mm diameters.
ACTIVE RIDE SUspension
The new reverb also features built in suspension through the new active ride feature. It sits in a semi-active zone that gives you suspension like feel when partially dropped. It makes the techy climbs and rolling terrain a bit more comfortable.
service made simple
Another bonus? Service intervals on the Rockshox Reverb AXS are generous, with a basic lubrication service at 300 hours / 1 year, and a full service at the 2 year mark. The new vent valve technology allows you to bleed air out of the system with a quick reset, keeping it all running smoothly.
In short, the new AXS Reverb is everything we liked about the original, now optimized for modern geometry and all of the drop. We’re excited to give these a try and get a review out to everyone soon. Swing by the shop today to check them out!
