New! Race Face Turbine dropper seat post
August 14th, 2015

Canadian company Race Face seems to be going from strength to strength recently, and are pumping out some really decent products – the latest to be released is the brand new Race Face Turbine dropper seat post.
Using a hybrid combination of hydraulic action and a mechanical locking system that can’t slip, the Turbine looks set to be a long term performer. The mechanical system offers less potential to fail in time, and a hydraulic system controls rebound.
Low air pressure and static seals mean the Race Face Turbine dropper seat post should retain performance in all conditions, and the post has been designed to perform in sub-zero temperatures – so it’s perfect for those who ride in cold climates. Or fat bike types.
The Race Face post is all black and uses the offset Hunter 2-bolt head design. Cable routing is internal and it includes a Quick Connector for easy, tool-free disconnection and internal routing. Out of the box the Turbine post comes with a universal thumb lever which actuates the post and can be run on either side of the handlebar but a shifter style hop-up lever is available as an upgrade.
