The biggest news from RockShox at the Taipei Cycle Show is that they are making their Reverb Stealth seatposts available to other manufacturers this year. What the Stealth did before anyone else is integrate a height-adjust seatpost into the frame, routing the hose from the handlebar control through the base of the post, inside the frame. This made for a much cleaner and well-protected setup as where the hose met the post was always something of a weak point. Launched last year, RockShox worked with Trek and Scott to offer the system exclusively on their bikes. From May this year that changes as they open the system up to other manufacturers. RockShox's Scott Hart gives us a close look at how it all works.

Im 1,93m tall and my problem is before i cut my seatpost it was to high when all the way jammed and after i cut it i cant raise it enough =(
Id love to buy any adj. seatpost but im a broke student
This latest incarnation of the Reverb seems to alleviate any of the previous issues with them. I guess I'm just a little dissapointed that I'm not going to get a full FOX specced bike which I acknowledge is massively sad on my part. Need to be less of a douche.
Had my stealth installed on my HD now for 2 weeks or so and its been working flawless
On our local trails, we have trails that go from steep ass descents to steep ass climbs to flat to techy DH to climbs to DH to flat.
All over the place. There is no "Right saddle hight", and while you stop at the top and bottom of each segment to adjust your saddle, I am keeping my speed and flow, and laughing as I wait at the end of the trail.
