Review: SDG Tellis V2 Dropper Post - No Slop, More Drop
Thanks for the comment! I-Beam has so many benefits which we cannot wait to bring to the trail platform, however the current I-Beam saddle options that we make are only for gravity so have the beam moulded into the base. While this is incredibly light and strong, it offers no flex so pairing it with a dropper wouldn't work out since you'd be spending time seated on the saddle (where as gravity saddles are only for control & butt bounces). An I-Beam trail saddle would need to have a flex channel like traditional rails so that the base can flex and provide rider comfort for longer days in the saddle. Since this new dropper is based around the I-Beam cradle, one would think that we might be working on a trail I-Beam saddle to pair with this... ;)

Review: SDG Tellis V2 Dropper Post - No Slop, More Drop
Unfortunately not as the new keyway requires a new upper and lower tube to fit it. The new actuator is retrofittable to the V1 post so you can use that to trim a bit of height off of your V1.

Review: SDG Tellis V2 Dropper Post - No Slop, More Drop
Our compression force actually tends to be one of the lightest out there (we've tested this with a force gauge), however tons of variables (such as seat tube angle, saddle position, bushing orientation, etc.) come into play that'll affect how easy it is to compress. With that being said the V2 has a larger diameter stanchion (26mm V2 vs 25mm on V1) which decreases stanchion deflection on slacker seat tube angles or saddles being run far back on the rails.
Personally, I'm 215lbs geared up and run a 230mm Tellis V2 and I found the V2 to be noticeable easier to compress compared the the V1 simply due to the decrease in deflection.
