e-thirteen Components (United States) - Press Release: The Vario™ Infinite Dropper Post is the newest addition to our component line. It uses a proven, gas-charged spring allowing infinitely-adjustable travel, and requires 20% less compression force than the competition. Our unique upper bushing allows travel adjustments in 5mm increments to a 30mm maximum. Travel adjust is tool-free, no need to even remove the post from the bike.

The Vario™ Post showcases an all-new 3D forged stanchion with integrated head, which increases stiffness and enhances durability upon any unexpected hits to the saddle. As bikes become more aggressive, saddle and dropper post hardware must accommodate slacker seat angles – We designed the new Vario™ Infinite Dropper with an extra 12mm of fore/aft saddle adjustment and 28° of total seat angle adjustment.

We recommend pairing with our newly designed cable actuated Vario 1x Dropper Lever. Our fully serviceable lever is shielded by a durable aluminum body, which offers three mounting positions and has a high grip paddle pivoting smoothly on two sealed bearings.
