Just seen this and don’t think I’ve seen it mentioned before? Bit chunky looking. Shame the crc/wiggle issues as this would have brought the price down on wireless dropper further when it was eventually on sale.

The Brand-X Ascend Wireless Dropper Seatpost brings you simplicity and smooth performance at a budget-friendly price.

£399!! How is that budget friendly?! It's also super ugly.

£352 with loyalty discount...I'd be happy with that.

So pretty much the same price as a wireless reverb or Vyron, but with the added peril of the company selling it about to go bust...

With the wired version being effective and reliable (and cheap to replace if it does go wrong) I can see no reason to move to wireless

Thought the whole point of the Brand X was to be a cheap bit of white goods? Who's going to buy one of those?

It might not look quite so fugly with a saddle on hiding the top part of the head. Although I suspect that's tall enough to make it incompatible with a lot of saddles.

@cookeaa where are you seeing AXS reverbs for sub £400?

It sounds fine, if you really think you need a wireless dropper, which you probably don't.
