I have a KS EXA FORM with remote from aliexpress on one bike paid £56

It works great and has done for 6 months now.

I did swap the lever for a spare under bar brand-x as it came with push type (to go alongside a shifter) rather than the under bar lever type.

I bought a band-x after being recommended on here.
It's been faultless

Here it is, KS KindShock EXA 900i 125mm drop 30.9

Now they are £52

Got a brand-x a year ago 170mm on another bike for £100 from start fitness, just getting a little sticky again now, maybe needs taking apart again. Run this with a ZTTO lever which is a little nicer than stock.

Brand x is the default dropper no matter the budget. Works well, slightly heavier than the high end competition, but the reliability and clue for money makes up for any minor faults

Hi, I also have a dropper available.

I have an unused RockShox Reverb (125mm / 30.9x380mm / Left) available if anyone else is interested.

I upgraded my bike before I fitted the dropper and the new bike has a different diameter seatpost size

Thanks, Rich

It is similar to this:

Those KS deals are good of they're genuine. I'm after a replacement for a worn out external 30.9. Can't go internal with the carbon frame.
