Recommend me a dropper post

Ransaka

I'm going to get a dropper post but there's tons of them out there.
I was looking at the KS ones on Superstar but they're sold out.

Anyone got one that they can recommend or suggest to stay well away from?

Mine has barely needed any maintenance just needed the air pressure topping back upto 250psi.

Reverb. Although the usual haters will be along in a minute.

Bikeradar scored the RockShox Reverb 5 out of 5. I think only 2 other posts got that score, but they weren't dropper posts. I think only the newest version of the Reverb got 5 out of 5, with the slightly earlier model scoring 4.5. From what i gather though, there's still very little between them, so it may be worth getting the older one wich should be a fair bit cheaper now, if you can find one. Read some reviews on both of them and your decision will be a little easier. Don't know of any other droppers i'm afraid, i know almost nothing about them, just what i've picked up on Bikeradar.

Lev won the latest grouptest though. 5 out of 5 was when there wasn't much similar on the market. Kind of tempted by a Lev in future, but I'll stick with my GD Turbo for now. Actually, I'd have a Specialized Command Post BL if they had a better remote.

KS Lev seems to be getting good reviews. If I was to buy a dropper it would be between the Reverb and the LEV, I would probably go for the LEV for the simple reason the cable is in a fixed position so you dont get a loop of cable when seat is right down.

Thank you for your input folks, to the interwebz!

Reverb got 10 out of 10 in the latest MBR, the only reason you hear bad things is because it's by far the most popular dropper post and obviously nothing is perfect.

Also you can get them pretty much as cheap as any other dropper if you look around and are patient.
