Hi. On every web site i have looked from the Silverback site to all local online shop sites the 2016 square is speced with a dropper post. But when looking at the actual bike at Cycle Lab it has a standard seat post.

 

Is published spec only for europe?

I will check with Silverback and post their reply

Hi Oldtmr,

 

There is more to the matter than meets the eye. The bike at Cycle Lab has a higher parts spec overall but at the expense of the lack of dropper post.

 

The SA spec of the Square has SRAM X1 instead of the dropper equipped SRAM GX bike that you are seeing online.

 

I hope that this clears the matter for you.

Hi Talk Wrench

 

Thanks for your reply I understand your explanation and see that the price difference in shifter and derailleur is about R2K
