Satori Sorata Pro:https://bikemob.co.za/products/satorisorataprodropperseatpost309mml?variant=12521080946773Again, absolute shyte. The Lyne and Rapide options are the only droppers at the lower price point worth considering. The Satori might be cheaper now, but just like the Giant, it cannot be serviced.
Hello Ruan Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Go with the Lyne, I am on my second one now sold my previous bike and new one also got it's own Lyne. It's a great product, no need to look further... even if you have to save up for another month.
thebob Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 Think the X-Fusion is available via Robbie’s Bicycle Concept in PE. Give them a shout.
Tomik Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 Had a reverb, was great, swapped it for a spez command post cause I needed some setback and want looking forward to the expensive maintenance that the reberb requires. Absolutely love it. Picked one up for R1500 on the bikehub. Is mechanical so not as smooth as a reverb but what does that matter?
Tomik Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 Had an older lyne on previous bike, also worked really well with the optional trigger mechanism.

It just works and the V2 is really great value for money. Unless you have R10k to blow on a Rock Shox AXS Reverb.... or the new C2 version with mechanical lever (twist or trigger)I had a Reverb Stealth on my Pyga and it was as smooth as anything.I would not look at anything lessNot 10K tho.6K

The 2 people I know with them have great things to say. Happy they fixed up all the bugs with the wireless version. There is no way I'd ever be able to justify that amount for a dropper though, especially when 3k buys you a Lyne that outperforms droppers 3 times the price.

porqui Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 I'm still using a Gaint dropper the very 1st model now more than 5yrs old and it's still doing great. I would go with the Lyne though.
