Magura Vyron wireless dropper post
It uses a micro USB port to get a full charge in 3 hours.
Magura delivered the first bombshell product of Eurobike by introducing a product that everyone has been clamoring for, a wireless dropper post. They aim to deliver the post by November 2015 for a price of $460.
They’re hitting all the marks with a quick delivery date and a price that is reasonable. Most dropper posts today are in the $400+ range and they have no electronics whatsover.
Crowds gathered by the Magura Eurobike booth.
Weight is is right on the mark too at 595 grams with an awesome drop height of 150mm. Most folks do not believe they need that much drop but riding styles are indeed changing and this much drop will be the norm in the next five years we believe.
One charge of the Vyron is good for about 400 actuations.
This is all made possible by Magura’s work on the eLect fork and rear shock system. They have been perfecting their wireless, motor and battery technologies. We’ve been using the eLect forks for the last few months and operation has been flawless. One novel feature is the fork and in this case the post has an accelerometer so it turns itself on and off without the need for a switch. It is instantaneous and seemless. One can turn off the accelerometer off to save even more battery but this seems unnecessary unless the bike is being stored for a long time.
Aside from stating the obvious that we like the fact that it requires absolutely no wires or cables, here’s our take:
