Dropper posts are the order of the day in this episode of MTB tech essentials. Dropper Posts enhance your mountain bike ride by moving the saddle out of the way with little to no interruption at the start of a descent, lowering your centre of gravity and allowing you to ride in a more dynamic manner without any risk of getting caught up on your seat.
