Suspension Dropper Post (PNW Coast)

[Cricket23]

Hi all,

I came across the PNW Coast suspension dropper post recently, I has 40mm of air suspension travel and I believe it's the only type in existance. I have a hardtail and it seems like this could be a good addition to smooth out the roots and bumps when seated. BTW, the amount of support/suspension can be adjusted with a suspension fork pump.

My question is, has anyone got any expeience of this product? Is this the only product of it's kind or are there othes?

Cheers,

C23

I asked the same question a few years ago on MTBR

PNW Coast suspension dropper - any user feedback yet?

I’ve just got one, only had one ride so far, but seems good, need to play with a bit more and let a bit more air out, but happy so far. It took a lot of searching to get one in the UK,

@Howz Just wondered how you’re getting on with the PNW dropper?

Is it worth it?

Does it have hi/lo speed comp/rebound damping?

 

[Howz]

There is no rebound so it can be a bit springy if set too soft, in all honestly not really sure it’s that good, I had one of the suntour suspension posts before, ok it had no dropper and looked a bit strange, but the suspension was far better.

Thanks very much @Howz, much appreciated. I think I won't bother then.

Cheers,
