Show me on the doll where SRAM hurt you.

Hear me out. Insertion length is NOT an appropriate measurement to compare different dropper posts. There are only two things that matter for dropper fitment. 'Total length' and 'collar to rail length' (stack height). Total length defines your saddle height when the dropper hits an obstruction inside the frame and stack defines your saddle height when the dropper collar hits the top of the seat tube. Low Total Length = Good Low Stack Height = Good Insertion length is (Total length - Stack Length)... so Low Insertion Length is the inverse of Good.... or Bad. Imagine you have two dropper posts that are 440mm long but one has a 200mm insertion and the other has a 220mm insertion. Which fits more bikes? If you are limited by seat tube depth they are the same BUT if you are limited by the height of your frame's seat tube the post with 20mm MORE insertion gets your seat 20mm LOWER.

Not radial, not rideable.

Was Astro taken?

@Upduro: It looks like a more refined version of the Arrival for sure.

Why make a heavy hub to pair with ultralight spokes?

Any info on weight?

Is there no 30.9mm option in the longer lengths?

Another convert to these valves. If you run thick enough sealant that it will actually stop a puncture, your valves will clog. A pipe cleaner might help, but they will be clogged again the next day... and the next. Seating your tire with a hand pump is just a bonus.
