Can you accommodate 240mm?

OneUp have produced a 240mm travel dropper. OneUp are pushing the limit of what droppers can do – and what bike frames they will actually fit in. And we’re glad that they are. Droppers for all!

We don’t often just slap press releases up but in this case, the nuts and bolts of it are all here and they are sufficiently interesting nuts and relatively inspiring bolts. Over to you OneUp…

Press Release:

Get more drop

Everyone at OneUp wants the longest travel dropper post we can fit on our bikes. We’re obsessed with maximizing drop by minimizing stack height and total length.

OneUp Dropper Posts get you more drop than any other post. That’s because, across the line, OneUp droppers have the shortest stack height and shortest total length of any post with the same travel. No other dropper post can get your saddle lower.

OneUp dropper posts are now available in: 90mm (swimmable to 70mm), 120mm, 150mm, 180mm, 210mm and 240mm lengths.

All our posts can be shimmed down in travel by either 10mm or 20mm to tune your fit and get the most drop possible. This means there’s a OneUp Dropper option available in 10mm increments from 70mm to 240mm of drop. Bikes and riders come in all sizes, droppers posts should too.

240mm

Ever since we launched our 210mm post, taller riders (including many of our staff), have been asking for even longer dropper posts. Our new 240 is a game changer for tall riders who still manually drop their posts. We recommend the 240 for riders 6’ (183cm) or taller, or anyone on L to XXL frames.

See if the 240mm will fit you and your bike with our Dropper Post Length Selector Tool.

90mm

The new 90mm (shimmable to 70mm) Dropper is the shortest dropper post on the market. It has the shortest total length, shortest insertion length and shortest stack height.

Perfect for XS riders and XS bikes, kids bikes, gravel bikes and any bikes with short or interrupted seat tubes.

• Travel adjust shims allow you to dial in your perfect length
• Reliable sealed cartridge internals
• User replaceable cartridge $60 USD
• Light weight (shorter total length means less material and less weight for a given drop)
• Easy to service at home
• 2 year warranty
• Increased bushing overlap (240) – new feature
• Sealed cartridge cap (on all posts) – new feature

Specification

Price: 90mm $199.50 USD / 240mm $229.50 USD / Remote $59.50 USD
Weight (30.9): 90mm 435g / 240mm 570g / Remote 41g

Total length and stack height

If you want to upgrade to a longer travel dropper post, you’ll probably be limited by your new post’s total length or stack height, which is why we’ve minimized both.

The distance from the bottom of the post to the middle of the saddle rail clamp, including the actuator.

A shorter total length means a OneUp post is more likely to fit your bike, even if it’s not the latest, brand new bike. For reference, a OneUp 180mm post has a shorter total length than every 170mm and even some 150mm posts.
