The Brand-X Ascend II is an externally routed dropper seatpost that offers excellent performance and reliability without breaking the bank. Tweak your saddle height for what lies ahead and tackle the trail in comfort.

Externally Routed Dropper Seatpost

Building on the success of the Ascend Dropper Seatpost, this aluminium dropper post is available for those who have a rig without internal cable routing: Brand-X is bringing affordable and reliable dropper posts to the people! With infinitely smooth adjustments and an ergonomic paddle style lever that can sit on the left or right of your cockpit, the Brand-X Ascend II Dropper Seatpost is the upgrade that your bike needs. To avoid cable movement/pull, this dropper seatpost's cable is actuated from the mid-cap and delivers consistent performance.
