Novyparts RockShox Reverb Remote - Review

Novyparts Reverb remote review

The RockShox Reverb is one of the most common dropper posts on the market, found on everything from trail bikes to burly all-mountain rigs, and over the last few years has proven itself to be one of the best options available. That's not to say that it's 100% perfect, and one area that could use improvement is the shape of the remote lever. The stock lever works well, but it's not the most ergonomically friendly, especially when compared to the levers found on cable actuated posts like Specialized's Command Post or the KS LEV. Due to the Reverb's hydraulically activated design creating a lever that mimics the shape of a shifter is a more difficult proposition, but Novyparts, a small company based in France, have done just that.

The Novyparts remote is designed to be used with 1x drivetrains, and sits underneath the left side of the handlebar where a front shifter would typically reside. Pushing the wide, flat aluminum paddle is all it takes to activate the post, and the speed at which the paddle is depressed determines how quickly the seat will rise to its fully extended position. The unit is CNC'd from aluminum, and weighs in at 50 grams. No handlebar mount is included, but the remote is compatible with SRAM's Matchmaker clamps. MSRP: $149.00 USD. www.novyparts.com. US distribution is handled by Prestige MTB.

Novyparts Reverb remote review
Accessing the bleed port requires removing the lever blade.
Novyparts Reverb remote review
The 1.5mm hex set screw isn't quite strong enough to keep the pivot from occasionally migrating upwards, but the updated axle should help fix this.

Installation

Installing the Novyparts remote requires a RockShox Reverb bleed kit, a 6mm open end wrench, a 1.5mm hex wrench, a 2.5mm hex wrench, and a little bit of patience. That patience is required because the setup isn't quite as simple as a bleeding a regular Reverb remote, and involves removing the lever blade in order to access the bleed screw, along with the additional step of depressing the piston a few times during the bleed process to get any stubborn air bubbles out.

If you're comfortable bleeding a regular Reverb remote the process is about the same level of technical difficulty, but it did take me a few tries before the lever was working correctly. I performed the same steps in the same order each time, so I'm not sure what changed to make the third try work, but in any case there wasn't any need to bleed it again over the course of the next three months.

Operation

Out on the trail the textured lever blade is easy to reach at a moment's notice, and once depressed moves smoothly through its stroke. The amount of effort it takes to push the Novyparts remote lever is on par with how the stock Reverb remote feels, but the amount of distance the lever needs to travel is slightly longer. For comparison's sake, it's roughly the distance a rear shift lever moves to shift up three gears. I didn't have trouble with the extra amount of throw, but another tester found it to be too long for their liking, and I could see it being a potential issue for riders with smaller hands, who may find it difficult to easily push the lever far enough without rotating their hand on the bar.

Depressing the lever partway brings the seat up slowly, and pushing it all the way sends it upwards at full speed. That return speed is adjusted the same way it would be on a regular Reverb remote, by turning the aluminum dial located where the hydraulic line enters the remote. Even though the lever's edge's are chamfered, I was still a little wary of its rectangular profile, but the position I ended up settling on had it tucked almost directly underneath the handlebar, and I never smacked my knee or snagged any clothing on it.


Issues

The cylindrical pivot that the lever is attached to had a tendency of trying to escape upwards and out of the lever body every so often, usually after 3-5 rides, even with the set screw securely tightened against the pivot. The nylon washers on either side helped keep it from working itself all the way out, but it was an inconvenience. After alerting Novyparts about the issue, Maxime Bouchez, the company's owner, said that the remote will now be shipping with an additional axle that has a groove machined in the center that should help keep everything in place no matter how much usage the remote sees.



Pinkbike's Take:
bigquotesFor riders that are frustrated by the ergonomics of the stock Reverb lever, the Novyparts remote is a well constructed replacement. There are a couple of quirks, but overall its performance is on par with that of the stock remote, with the benefit of a better lever shape. Of course, it wouldn't be surprising to see RockShox release an updated remote of their own in the future, but until then, Novyparts are the only ones who have stepped up to the plate with a viable alternative. - Mike Kazimer

 It is too bad that people complain about a product that isn't available then when it comes out they are expecting it to be cheap. I respect the fact that you are doing this by yourself and that people don't understand how difficult it is to be a one man operation. Keep pumping out good products people will figure it out eventually that quality costs more.

 I don't think it's that the price is too high, I think it's just hard for people to look at buying a $150 lever for a dropper that probably cost them less than $350. So not too high, but maybe too high in relation to product it's made for? #realworldpricingproblems. Also, I'm sorry @prestigemtb ,but i can't take your company name seriously because Stepbrothers. Prestige MTB sounds too much like Prestige Worldwide wide wide & makes me giggle.

 I've broken the Rock Shox actuator twice now, and replaced at about $100 apiece. One shop actually wanted $120, but I was able to talk them down. Anyway, I'd pay the extra price for a superior ergonomic design, which this seems to have. Nice job.

 Use a bigger diameter endmill for the thumb lever pocketing machining, you can save a couple of bucks there.

 really how much is it going to save,like what 2 bucks,and it's surfacing not pocketing.Also I bet the surface was made that way to create a texture that is less likely to slip.

 Haha. Chill man it was just a recomendation. Pocketing - surfacing, it got lost in translation Wink .

2 bucks is not too bad. As he sells more he will be able to demand better pricing to his providers, productivy discounts, commodities pricing other mfg improvements through time and so on, putting all of that together they will be able to reduce a descent chunck from the msrp.

Apart from that isnt MTB a demand driven market? Companies can set whatever pricing they want. No disrepect Nobyparts just curious.

 Finally its available! been waiting for this since i first saw it. currently around £66 GBP. Way way way better than the standard reverb remote.
Those of you moaning about the price obviously have no idea about economies of scale. Rockshox make 10's of thousands of remotes and they are only a little bit less. And, they are crap.

 I made a thin custom actuator for my reverb that allows you to cut the steel piece that the button is attached to down about 4mm. The combined effect is that you don't have to do a thumb wrestling finishing move to drop your post. www.pinkbike.com/photo/12785754

 I don't know why there are so many complaints about the original remote. I just bought the right hand remote and put it on the left side underneath the bars where it is protected and easy to use. No issues after a year of riding with several wrecks.

 I ordered one the minute I saw one in the Sea Otter coverage (back in April/May). At that time he was still fine tuning the design. I then got my lever in July. Having seen quite some broken reverb-levers after crashes or clothing hooking up with the lever and not being satisfied with the ergonomics the Novyparts is a suitable replacement.

The function is really good and installation was not a lot harder then a regular Reverb bleed or lever replacement. It fits my Hope matchmakers and the hose routing is better (more in line with other cables/hoses on the handlebar).

As far a the pricing goes, it is on sale at the moment and is the exact same price as a standard lever at one of the reference online stores.

 Could you run this on the right side? I personally love running the dropper remote on the right side with my rear shifter because I can then shrink wrap the brake, shifter, and dropper housings together and it looks so clean and you can get a full bar rotation out of it.
  • 1 0
 No reason you couldn't turn a matchmaker clamp upside down, but you might run into space issues on the bar. Probably have to have the shifter & the brake on the same clamp at a bare minimum, in order to get enough bar real estate for this lever to be reachable.

 Considering SRAM were the ones leading the 1x revolution, you'd think they'd have come up with a better solution that takes advantage of that additional real estate by now.

I use a RH lever underneath on the left, but since the levers on SRAM brakes are so long, if you mount it as the brake lever mount, and have your brakes levers positioned properly for 1-finger braking, then it's pretty far away. I have really long thumbs, and I can reach it, but it's not optimal. Other people who try my bike are like, how can you reach that?

The other option would be having to run two mounts, which I should try, but that might put it in too close, and really they should update it so that it works ergonomically at least with their own brakes.

 I must be the luckiest person in the world with dropper posts. got a 5 year old x fusion that works! (okay I did have to mod it and mess around with it) had a ks dropzone for a year that was sweet and a doddle to maintain (sold it to a mate and it's still perfect) and my rs stealth is running perfect aswell.
some one should combine the strengths of all three. x fusion is the easiest to fully dismantle. ks easiest to maintain. outer tube slides of wipe seal. internals protected from crud, slickest movement, best lever . reverb for not having a cable and stealth

 I've been riding with one after my original Reverb remote disintegrated in the middle of a ride a couple of months ago. The Novyparts remote is a very nicely executed product. Yes, a bit on the expensive side, but with a coupon at Jenson it was not that much more expensive than a new Reverb button assembly, and it is waaay more comfortable to use. Installation was trivial, bleeding is dead simple once you know how to do it. I solved the slipping pivot axle issue with a file - a little flat groove helped. Two thumbs up for Novyparts, and their US rep is a great guy to chat with, too.

 Thank you.

 Why did RS think we needed another hose to bleed? It is not like it is low maintenance compared to a cable, nor do we need the kind of sensitivity you get from hydro brakes. Other cable activated systems have pretty much interchangeable levers, but RS not so much.
I had a reverb. I'd take another if it was a good price, but I can't say it was any better than the giant dropper I have now.
  • 1 0
 I've had 3 giant droppers. My reverb is leaps and bounds better.

The giants need cables replaced every couple months because the metal part by the lever lets water in the sheathing.

They're harder to adjust incrementally, full up or full down they're fine.

The post jams and gets hard to operate unless you periodically grease the shaft. I started packing the underside of the wiper seal and found it would work for a few months.

You also have to clean all mating surfaces and use loctite when installing and your saddle still will slip nose up/down with the bolt torqued to spec.

The single bolt that holds the saddle stripped on my wifes bike, it's sitting on my workbench waiting for me to go get another. It's a hex, but it kind of looks a bit like a torx for some reason, and i think that has something to do with it stripping. I was using a torque wrench.

They have been reliable other than that. They've never completely failed in one direction.
  • 1 0
 Man we have had opposite experiences. My Reverb hose was always trying to kink, the house needed bleeding, the saddle was losing a bit of height (needed rebuild). My wife got the giant Dropper I currently use about 4 months ago. We got it used. Trouble free. I did the cables and housing on several internally routed giants last spring because the previous owner had done it wrong. Other than that I have never seen an issue with them.
I have seen issues with cables on other droppers. Maybe so far I have been lucky.

 I understand the cost of things. But people/me don't want to spend 150.00 on convenience. I was stoked until I saw price. Companies should factor that in when creating products. Technically it's not an upgrade so willing to put up with current remote. MSRP at 100 is most likely going to sell better.

 Looks like a better design than the stock one that is so fragile. Too pricey though

 WEIGHT:- With a plain SRAM bar clamp it weighs almost 60g empty of fluid, against 35.6g for a Reverb remote with its built-in clamp. It is certainly engineered to be strong and robust. I lightened mine a bit to reduce the weight penalty. I find the ergonomics along with 1x11 very good and operation has been fine. I did cut away the inside of my (foam) grips to allow me to mount the lever swung quite low to suit my thumb/hand best - everybody is going to be different on placement, of course.

 @mikekazimer It does look nice, but when the simple lever costs 50% more than what I paid for the whole setup, it is just too expensive. I paid $279 for the whole Reverb

 Yah from a business perspective he could have cornered this market five years ago when the Reverb was new, its a little late to the game. And I'm still shocked RockShox/SRAM didn't update the trigger design in the last couple years. Will be cool to see what the new Reverb looks like when they update it eventually. Unfortunately for this lever / the Reverb, there is a whole new round of droppers coming out - hopefully more reliable mechanical models sans hydraulic lines - and they all have shifter style levers that are much more ergonomic and cost less.

Put it this way - I spend money on all sorts of unnecessary parts to experiment on my bike (Hope Grip Doctor, alloy valve caps, Push Elevensix, etc...) and I also hate the ergonomics of the Reverb lever so have been dreaming of something like this. I am having some issues with a Reverb on a month-old new whip, but my mind is wandering to the 9point8 / Race Face Turbine / Easton dropper... The Reverb is likely going to be relegated to the backup parts shelf, thus spending any money on this lever is unnecessary.

 @lumpy873 If you're going to have to set the price for your accessory product at half or more of what most people are paying for the entire product, you need to refine your manufacturing methods or don't begin production. I'm not usually one to complain about price but this is absurd for what it is. That he can't even be bothered to source clamps for his overpriced lever is just adding insult to injury.

 Is it a better item than the stock unit? He saw a demand for a better option in a relatively small market. But, with a small potential number of buyers and a higher quality, non mass produced part, the price will be higher. Maybe not sourcing a clamp but designing the lever to use a readily available option that a lot of people might already have was a cost cutting measure? Remember, this is also not a whole lot more than the stock item. Should he lose money on each sale or just say "Screw it. . The Pink Bike crowd is going to skewer me." And not even bother. Apparently, some people see the value in a quality product. Buy the cheap item a couple of times or buy a good item once. Your choice.

Sadly, this will by Noviparts taking it in the pants when Rock Shox decides to rip off and duplicate it...
  • 3 2
 What demand? Where are these legions of riders clamoring for this product at a better than 50% markup over the stock item? And where are you getting 50% markup is "not a whole lot more than the stock item"? I've had Reverbs for three or four years now and have yet to need to replace a lever. The last person I know who ordered a lever got it for $70 after buying a used Reverb on ebay that didn't include the lever. At that price, this is more than double the stock item. I've got thousands of miles and dozens of crashes on Reverbs and zero broken levers so where's this buy the cheap item a couple times idea coming from? Anything that's going to bust a stock lever is gonna bust this one too. And that's all setting aside that a full rebuild kit for a stock lever is like $30 so, unless you've utterly smashed your lever you're never going to be buying a replacement lever.

Seems like everyone wants to find reasons to justify this thing being priced this highly but the bottom line is that it doesn't enhance your riding or your bike's performance one bit and only resolves an arguable non-existent ergonomic issue at an unreasonably high price.

You are right about SRAM just copying the idea in the long run though, which only further proves my point that it's a stupid business decision. If your economy of scales require you to price it this highly and the demand is only marginal, it should at least be something that no one else can easily replicate. If he sells even a thousand units I'd be shocked... but Rock Shox would then just adapt their design and he's shit out of luck.

 @badbadleroybrown - If you're not impressed, don't buy one - it's as simple as that. Novyparts saw an area they thought could be improved upon and went for it. No one else has stepped up to the plate yet, so I'd say it's a worthwhile effort. It's like the days when companies were churning out anodized rear derailleurs in their garages - the little guys taking on the big. Being insulted or whining about something that is simply an aftermarket accessory seems silly.

 For what it's worth to the peeps surprised about the price - if/when you break the Reverb remote, it'll cost the same to replace the reverb remote w/ hose. To reverb's credit, mine took two years of a lot of abuse before the "button" snapped, but I wish I had seen this before replacing it with the stock bit again (at the same price as above).

 Reverb remote is a piece of crap though, it is not worth more than 10$. I use the post as it is my favorite but the lever can be easily snapped or damaged with pants (as I managed to do). I broke two, already spending 150$ on it. The piston is made of soft fossilized cow poop and when extended it sits 3mm inside the shaft, all held with a crappy plastic bush (I just cracked one, installed one from the previous mess up). To make it even more fkd up it is 99% same remote as regular Pushloc which is 20$ cheaper... I was expecting them fixing it when revised Reverbs came out. They could fix the air chamber but not that. #Rockshox get it done please
  • 3 1
 Generally, when poop fossilizes, it isn't soft anymore

 Doing a hydraulic system was a dumb idea. It offers no benefits and can't be fixed on trail. The Reverb is nice but not worth the trouble. I had a reverb and currently have a giant dropper. No discernible difference in performance, but if my cable or housing broke I could fix it in a few minutes for a few $. Also I can pick from pretty much any lever on the market for it. Seems like a no-brainer.

 And I quote "has proven itself to be one of the best options available"
Are you f*cking serious? If you have ever worked in a bike shop for more then

2014, every single one got warrantied. WHAT A JOKE pinkbike.

Assuming Shimano brakes, but is there any other choice?

 Who in their right mind uses Shimano brakes when Hope Tech3's are available! All current and future bikes will only have Hope brakes.

 I'm assuming it has been out a few months, and now is being noticed, and refined as more discerning people try it out. Good question though...too bad people didn't understand you...
