Ks Lev Dx Seatpost Review:
We are currently testing the KS Lev DX dropper seatpost so we will make sure to write a full review of it. If we are lucky we have contacted our friends at KS Suspension to see if we can test out their newest product.
Thank you to our friend at Ks Suspension for sending us a set of the KS Lev Dx suspension LEV DX seatpost. If you want your seatpost to perform like a pro then you should trust a company like KS, the DSi and SxL are two very experienced riding companies and you can trust the products and the knowledge of them to deliver the best results.
Ks Suspension is one of the leading suspension companies in the world putting out a near endless array of quality products. If you want a dropper seatpost that does not become problem free as soon as you ride it then Ks Suspension is the company for you.
If you want an affordable alternative to a brand such as the Dura Ace Di2 or the SRM dropper then the KSlev lev dx is a great product you can use. KSlev Lev Dx is a dropper post designed for use on road and mountain bikes that can be used anywhere you fit your bike and has a price point that makes it very affordable.
If you still think you want the new top of the line dropper post then give a call to your friends at KS Suspension and see if they can send you a copy of their Lev Dx. We will see if this is a very big selling point for the new dropper posts Kslev Lev Dx comes with after we have had a chance to test it and see how it performs.
All in all the KS Lev Dx is an affordable dropper post that is designed for a wide range of riders and bikes. As you can see the price point on this being a €69.99 product is very low. The dropper post has a minimum quality and is extremely durable, making it great for riders looking to save money on dropper posts.
The product works well in the way that the cable does not extend as soon as you lift the saddle, this gives you more time to get that perfect backset and your weight is redistributed more evenly across the whole of the post. You will be very surprised with how this great little dropper seatpost will make your favorite bike ride even better, as if highly rated Kslev Lev Dx, and it is a very unique product that I will be doing a full review on for you guys.
