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... ;)

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.

@Mtn-Goat-13: Everyone is going to have a different experience, so we're stoked you're one of the many that has trusted us and had the exact experience we designed the post to have. There's a reason why so many premium OEM's trust us (Santa Cruz, every single YT, Pivot, Norco, Devinci, etc.) with their spec and more so have increased their spec year after year. We'll keep focusing on making a post for your everyday rider. Every single feature that you find on the Tellis V2 has been designed by focusing on simplicity and durability that the rider who just wants their product to work can appreciate.

Right on! Stoked you had such a positive experience on the V1 and for putting it through one hell of a test. Hope to have you on a Tellis V2 whenever you're ready for an upgrade. It'll take all the best aspects of the V1 (it just works), but so many tech features have been added to elevate the offering (while bringing the price down at the same time and adding a lifetime warranty).

Thanks for trusting us and being one of our test riders on the V2! It wouldn't be the same product without the lanky legs of tall Toni!

@ohio: We love the feedback from our customers as it only makes the end product stronger. Being a super small team of 6 employees at SDG means we are able to listen to all the feedback and use that to further elevate our offering. Hope to see you at Sea Otter next weekend!
