At the shop I work at we have not sold anything with 26 inch wheels over $1,800 in a year and a half... And I don't own or ride a 29er at all. Just sayin.

Edit: DH/FR bikes don't count.
we have... most weeks
At the end of the day it's the carbon xc bikes that my shop sells the most, downhill bikes don't get sold alot because the people wanting to spend the 4k+ are older people...not teenagers with nothing else to spend the money on (like me)

Yeah the uk bike market is completely different to the us
ahhh very nice, the doss has a really decent design, they put a lot of work into it, i just personally find they should have made it hydraulic, cables are a pain and compared to a reverb which has such a smooth and light lever push. i would have been more likely to buy a doss with a hydraulic lever than one with a cable lever and the ability to drop it into trail mode, and folly dropped

I feel like the DOSS is a year too late. All the other companies are already on the internal routing/actuator cable fixed at the top of the seat tube phase.

It has climb mode , trail mode and decent mode. The cable is silky smooth and very simple to replace and look after . Works really well
Id deffo rather have a cable if i were to get a dropper post, the serviceability and ease of use of a cable unit opposed to a hydraulic one which will need bleeding as well as servicing and i could imagine it being a bit of a hassle

This point was driven home recently when the end broke off the cable. Post doesn't work with no fluid

new cables on latest reverb designed to come away on impact without braking,gotta say ive had 2 verbs over last year on 2 bikes run them in real shitty conditions rain mud grit and regular power washes,never so much as a chink in the super smooth action of either,they are sooo easy to bleed with supplied kit(not that ive ever had to),online how to,and the only time ive had an issue was brand new out of the box one had a little stiction,sent back to sram for complete overhaul and returned back to me within a week,i ran a ks cable post and it was nowhere near the reverb in terms of usability smoothness or for that matter weight,plus the strength needed to actuate lever on cable posts after an hrs cold weather riding becomes a serious pain in the ass,i just cant see the point of cables if for the same/cheaper price you can have the hydraulic???

I have a newer Reverb. The lever's barb broke on a simple tip-over in the garage. No spectacular wreck, adverse condition or power washing. Just tipped over and broke.
And while bleeding is pretty easy, I would have hoped the design would be more robust. Sure, the post works great and I cannot complain about that-but I'd hate to be on a ride someplace and have the thing break.

The hose must have caught on something. It's not going to break JRA or just falling with catching on anything..

Probably did. But here's the thing, that barb has no strain relief (as the one on the post does) so there's nothing to offer even a snowball's chance of not breaking.
