Mark Adams An essential component to enduro and all-mountain riders, this Magura Vyron Elect Wireless Dropper Seatpost will let you ride with 100% safety and efficiency, at the touch of a button.
Dial-in your Seatpost for the Terrain Ahead
A wireless dropper seatpost guarantees more fun and more safety on technical trails by letting you instantly dial-in your saddle height to suit the terrain ahead, with its 150mms of smooth travel. Once you navigate the technical section, one flick of a finger will set your saddle back to its perfect: that’s optimal riding efficiency from this Magura Vyron Elect Wireless Dropper Seatpost.
Wireless Remote Operation
The Magura Vyron Elect Wireless Dropper Seatpost utilises Magura’s eLECT Remote with ANT+ wireless technology. You can mount the wireless remote on either side of your cockpit. If you also have a Magura suspension fork and/or shock unit with eLECT functions on your bike, you can choose what you prefer: one eLECT remote for the Vyron Elect Wireless Dropper Seatpost and another for forks and/or shock(s) – or you can use all three buttons on a single remote to control every aspect. That’s full bike control at the touch of a button.
Rechargeable Battery
The Wireless Dropper Seatpost has a rechargeable battery that needs topping up after approximately 400 actuations. The dropper seatpost contains a motion sensor that puts it to sleep mode to save battery power when the bike is not moving. The battery will recharge from empty in around 3 hours via the micro USB port.

Magura Vyron Review:
Magura have taken an engineering approach to all-mountain and enduro suspension forks and shocks. They acknowledge that suspension performance is determined by three key areas: modularity, strength and weight.
Magura’s suspension technology surpasses the expectations of even the most demanding riders.
Modular
Magura designs suspension products with the future in mind. Magura’s products are not only robust, safe and reliable, but they’re also modular. This means they are extremely easy to service.
Strong
Magura’s suspension products are also unbelievably strong. They use materials that are resistant to any abuse you can throw at them. Magura have specifically positioned the dampers at the bottom of the fork legs and the oil reservoir at the top, to ensure optimum torsion strength.
The Magura damper sits between the two prongs in the fork, using a fork’s strength to withstand braking forces. This makes Magura’s suspension products not only safe, but strong as well.
Light
A strong fork and shock aren’t particularly valuable if they don’t hasten the rider to his or her destination in the best possible conditions. Magura’s suspensions are designed to provide excellent damping characteristics and to be as lightweight as possible while remaining strong and durable.

To further optimise performance Magura Royal Blood forks are equipped with Magura’s Quick Seal System for optimal air volume regulation. When you look at the inner workings of a Royal Blood fork you will see that Magura’s engineers have minimised “dead-space” for improved sensitivity and performance. Reliable and lightweight counter-pressure shaft seals are another area where Magura have invested great amounts of time and money in order to develop the best possible seals. This has also been realised with the new Magura low friction seals for damper shaft and piston – ensuring smooth damping even at low speed settings.

All Magura’s hydraulic dampers are working with silent cartridge to further improve damping characteristics. Working with the new developments in hydraulic fluid technology, Magura has updated all of its dampers with the goal of reducing friction and increasing performance.

Weight
To ensure a high level of quality and consistency, all Magura Royal Blood forks and shocks are produced in a new production facility at the Magura headquarters in Aalen, Germany.

It is also worth mentioning that the new Magura production facility is the most efficient in German industry. Magura’s goal is to produce products that are second to none. To do that, they need a state-of-the-art production facility that is able to meet the tough challenge of being efficient and agile at the same time. In order to make the best possible products, Magura uses the finest materials with the highest quality standards possible. By doing so, Magura’s philosophy has always been: as little mass as possible, as little friction as possible.
The three key areas of strength, weight and modularity are combined when opting to equip your bike with Magura Royal Blood forks and shocks. It doesn’t matter if you’re riding your all-mountain bike, enduro rig or enduro racer. Magura’s suspension is the best choice for the gravity orientated rider. Why? Because Magura manufactures suspension products with the future in mind. They are extremely easy to service, strong, light and agile.
By concentrating on the three key areas, Magura has made a huge step forward in suspension performance. They are proving again and again to everyone on the Gravity scene, the more you concentrate on these three key areas the more you will succeed in creating an outstanding product.
