Why We Like The Highline XC/Gravel Dropper Seatpost

Crank Brothers are expanding their Highline series with the addition of the Highline XC/Gravel Dropper Seatpost to manage steep terrain and fast descents with greater control. The Highline XC/Gravel is equipped with a hydraulic IFP cartridge for smooth actuation and durability, and the two-bolt aluminum head fits most standard bikes with a diameter of 27.2 millimeters. Jagwire's premium cables and housing are included to ensure your dropper post is ready to hit the trail after easy installation.

Works Great

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

Exactly what I was looking for in an internal dropper post. Easy installation, smooth operation.

Works every time

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

2 years later and it’s still working flawlessly. I use this with the wolf tooth remote and have had it in my bike for the last 2 seasons with no issues or repair. It’s quick to come back up and doesn’t need your full body weight to lower. I’ll likely buy it again for once the dropper on my other bike fails.

Metal Fatigue

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

The post function well, but the inner post or the top piece looks like it has metal fatigue. I am scared it may break

Was great- at first.

Familiarity:
I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

I was very excited to get this dropper, it appeared to be the best one for a 27.2 seat tube. It worked great for a couple weeks, and now is getting stuck at the halfway point (no crashes involved). Will have to do some furniture investigation.

Excellent Dropper Post

Familiarity:
I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

First dropper post I have owned, and I only have initial impressions, but they are really positive. The install was easy and the dropper post looks great. I paired it with the crankbrothers lever and they both function well. The 125mm (~5") drop is just about right for me at my height (5'9"); I could maybe do with a 150mm. There is a very slight wobble in the post as mentioned before, but if I hadn't read the prior reviews, I may not have even noticed the wobble. The wobble seems to be in the actual post though, not where the seat is clamped to the post (that part is solid and I like how it adjusts). The action of the post is smooth and the return is sufficiently quick. As far as I can tell the components/material are high quality and feel strong/durable; I think this post will last me for quite some time. I'll try and update the post later if my impression changes. As of right now I am happy with my purchase. Even though I don't have experience with other dropper posts to compare too, I would buy the highline 3 again.
