I think KS has a lightweight post with 65mm drop for XC racing. That would make much more sense. Not sure if it's available yet... I tend to only look at models with at least 125 - 150mm.

They did invent the Command post. The dropper which can slam your nuts so hard you get instant tonsillitis. :P

With the growing popularity of 1x single ring drivetrains and hacks that use the ergonomically awesome placement of traditional shifters to control dropper posts, KS created the Southpaw. It’s a left hand, below-the-bar thumb lever that’s similar in size and placement to a traditional shifter lever that’ll control their dropper posts.

Happy with my Reverb Stealth. If you follow the instructions it bleeds properly. The remote is a bit of a thumb stretch if using 2x10 but then so would everything else.

It is not as if you drop the post more often than changing gear..

 

Maybe in future Shimano/SRAM will integrate a mounting for dropper remotes on their shifter/brake clamps- now that would be forward thinking.....

I have always run my KS lever closer to the grip than the shifter. Works well.

They have JXV - reverb clamp can take some avid brakes as well as a threaded bracket for the shifter.

Nifty, but the ergonomics is always suited to everyone's setup
