Ritchey WCS Kite Dropper Seatpost

When designing the WCS Kite dropper, Tom looked at what makes existing droppers fail and why their lifespan was so short. He knew service was a main contributing factor in dropper's lives, and wanted to create a post that could be easily serviced should something happen. In doing so, he created a system that is deceptively simple and incredibly reliable.

The 3-position Kite offers 30mm of initial drop—the optimal height for lowered center of gravity while still providing an efficient pedal stroke—and full drop for when getting low and behind the rear end is necessary.
