Iridium Dropper Post
For many riders, the dropper post is the most important innovation in modern mountain biking. Dropper posts give you more freedom of movement when riding, which is especially useful on technical trails and steep descents, because you can move your centre of gravity backwards for increased stability. Straight away, you’ll be able to do trails that seemed too intimidating before. You’ll descend with more confidence. You’ll ride better. Once you switch to a dropper, you’ll never want to go back. Guaranteed.

The Canyon Iridium dropper post is easy to use: simply press the handlebar-mounted switch and sit on the saddle to drop it down to whatever height you want. You don’t have to stop riding to make adjustments – saving time and never breaking your feeling of flow. And when it’s time to climb, just stand up and push the switch again to raise the saddle back up.

In contrast to hydraulic systems, the Iridium dropper’s cable-operated switch ensures maintenance-free operation and makes swapping out components simple.
Iridium dropper posts have up to 150 mm of travel, varying depending on frame size.
