KS Rage-iS dropper seatpost 2024
Rage-iS brings innovation by combining a high performance dropper seat post with adjustable suspension.
Introducing the revolutionary Rage-iS – a game-changer, entirely powered by air, that offers both drop and suspension travel. A Schrader valve nestled beneath the clamp allows you to fine-tune the spring pressure. Dial down the pressure for a plush ride over every bump. Prefer a firmer ride? Just add air. In both cases you keep full drop capabilities. Whether you’re tackling tough mountain trails on a hard tail, exploring back roads on a gravel bike, or embarking on a long trek on a touring bike the Rage-iS’ suspension system provides complete customization according to individual preferences.
Actuator rotates 360°
With the ability to freely orientate the actuator, riders can position it in a way that aligns perfectly with the cable exit point from inside the frame. Optimal cable routing: By ensuring a smooth and more direct cable path without sharp bends or awkward angles, optimal cable routing enhances the overall performance and reliability of the dropper seat post. Improved durability: By aligning the actuator with the cable exit point, the cable is less prone to excessive bending or kinking. This reduces the risk of cable damage, such as fraying or breakage, which can occur when the cable is forced into tight angles. Enhanced functionality: By aligning the actuator to the best angle, riders can easily operate the dropper seat post lever with minimal effort or strain, regardless of their riding style or body position. This enhances the overall functionality and usability of the dropper seat post, providing a seamless and intuitive user experience. NB: not available for 27,2 diameters
Dropper combined with air-sprung suspension
Incorporated air-sprung suspension brings several notable benefits, particularly for hardtail mountain bikes, gravel bikes and leisure/trekking or urban bikes. Improved Comfort and Control: The air-sprung suspension in the Rage-i S absorbs vibrations, bumps, and impacts encountered during off-road or rough terrain riding. With improved comfort, riders can stay focused, ride longer distances, and tackle challenging terrains with reduced fatigue. Smoother and Controlled Ride Experience: The air-sprung suspension in in the Rage-i S effectively minimizes the jolts and sudden movements that can disrupt the rider’s position and stability. This results in a smoother, more predictable ride, allowing riders to maintain better bike control and respond to changing trail conditions more effectively. Adaptability to Terrain Variations: By adjusting the air pressure, riders can optimize the suspension’s responsiveness and firmness to match their own weight but also the specific trail conditions, whether it’s a smooth gravel path, rocky trails, or urban streets with potholes. Versatility and Multi-Purpose Use: While commonly associated with mountain bikes, suspension can also be beneficial for gravel bikes and leisure/trekking or urban bikes. These types of bikes often encounter uneven terrain, rough roads, or occasional off-road sections. Recommended standard pressure value: 350 psi
Precision keyways
Efficient precision keyways improve the stability, performance, and durability of dropper seat posts, making them virtually play-free. Improved stability and alignment: Precision keyways ensure that the upper and lower parts of the dropper seat post are perfectly aligned and stable. Reduced friction and wear: By providing a secure and stable connection between the upper and lower parts of the dropper seat post, precision keyways reduce friction and wear on the internal components, improving the overall durability and lifespan of the dropper seat post. Smoother operation: The precise alignment provided by precision keyways make the operation of the dropper seat post smoother and more consistent, reducing the amount of unwanted noise or vibration. Enhanced sealing: Precision keyways improve the sealing of the system, preventing dirt, dust, and other contaminants from entering the dropper post, greatly reducing the risk of damage or failure.
