Product Data

Remote Adjuster: Yes
Dropper: Yes

Building on the success of the original Ascend, Brand- X now offer an externally routed cable-operated option with the Ascend II.

The post carries over the reliability and core qualities of the original. Infinitely smooth adjustment and incredible value for money make the Ascend II the go to dropper post for those riders that require external routing.

It comes with an ergonomic lever that can be left or right hand mounted depending on your preference. The cable is actuated from the mid cap ensuring zero cable movement.

The Ascend Dropper mechanical cable-operated seatpost sets new standards for reliability and performance at a fantastic price point.

Please Note: The 31.6 and 30.9 diameter options come with the 1x Shifter Lever and the 27.2 option comes with the 2/3x Paddle Lever. The 27.2mm size also has a 2-piece saddle clamp so the saddle will sit slightly higher than on the 31.6 and 30.9mm options.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Blueleader from Reliable and great value This is the third brand X dropper that I have bought and as usual it's a great bit of kit with a smooth action and very easy to fit to bikes without internal routing. Why anyone would want to pay more for a post is beyond me. Highly recommended. 10/10

Rated 1 out of 5 by Gabe000 from Dubious durability It worked fine for a few weeks. Then the seat post just got stuck at the lowest position and wouldn't be able to go up. Contacted customer service twice and heard nothing from the warranty team.

This is advertised by Brand X to have an option of a 2x thumb trigger rather than the one in the picture. Do you have this option?

Asked by: TimTC
I bought the 2x, 3x lever for this seat post separately to fit my 2x10.

lever

I have have both front and rear gear shifters. My seatpost is 27.2 mm. Am I correct in thinking that the 27.2 mm version comes with a lever that will fit on the handle bar along with the front shifter? Thanks Alan
Asked by: Cheddar
Mine did so I imagine yours will as well. I wanted it the other way round actually since I run a 1x setup.

SRAM X9 compatibility

I appreciate the 31.6mm version is only compatible with x1 setup but my X2 setup uses SRAM X9 shifters so both up/down shifters sit below handlebar. Could I not use the 31.6mm version of this as long as I place the lever above the handlebar?
Asked by: JaeBoyT
The lever is only designed for use below the bar. You would require the Paddle kit for a 2x setup.

27.2 option. can i mount the remote switch that comes with the 27.2 on my mtb handlebar next to my left grip? (i have a 1x gear)

Asked by: 0bsidian
Being 1x drivetrain, your gear shifter is on the right, then yes the dropper post lever will fit on the left.

Can I replace the cable/outer in the event of it getting damaged, or shorten it if necessary to fit my bike?

Is the control cable/outer sheath user replaceable in the event of it getting damaged? Do the fittings take standard type gear cable/outer sheath?
