The world of dropper posts just changed forever; the lightest production dropper post is available now.
December 7, 2018, Ancaster Canada
Introducing the Fall Line R dropper from 9point8. Lighter than competitor’s light-weight droppers, the 75mm stroke version weighs only 322g (with inline head) and is the world’s lightest dropper post. The installed weight* is less than 390g! Longer strokes also available. MSRP $399USD plus remote.
“Engineering is lighter than carbon.”
The Fall Line R is the next step in droppers from 9point8, taking what was learned with the Fall Line; making it even lighter and even more reliable. Weight reduction has been achieved through rigorous engineering, allowing us to produce long-stroke dropper posts, even lighter than competitor’s cuttable posts. There is no rider weight limit for the Fall Line R. Cross country racing is one application, but it will perform equally well on trail bikes and enduro; anywhere that weight savings is desirable.
