They told us the first transfer was built to last.

Nothing that I can see.

But it can't be far off if retailers are getting product pages ready.

If the $860 price tag is indeed correct, I'm personally out.

I'm keeping my eye out for the Bike Yoke wireless dropper that's supposed to be releasing this year.

That I can also understand, and wireless options obviously won't be on your shopping list. Depending on your riding, I can also see where a lot of riders don't use a dropper the same way/amount as other riders. We tend to have rolling and technical terrain, so I use my droppers a ton. If someone is riding park, or winch and plummet, they probably use a dropper way less.

For me, I don't mind paying a premium for wireless, and a nicely refined post.

Years ago I paid $650 for my 170mm AXS dropper and I loved that thing. It was flawless, super fast and smooth. Not having to actuate a lever, cable, cam... and just press a button is really nice when you use the dropper a lot. I really liked that I simply never had to even think about my dropper, it just worked and worked well, I have yet to complete a ride that I haven't cursed the existence of the OneUp V2 droppers I've used recently.

Is any of this mandatory, nope. It's 100% a convenience and preference thing for me. I also can't lie, I personally enjoy the clean look and ease of just having brake lines. 🤷‍♂️

That is all fair but I am generally in rolling terrain and my most ridden trials are pretty rocky and rooty so I use it a ton when riding. I have been running a BrandX for 5 years now with a Paul component lever and it has been faultless. It has never failed to go up and down.
