First Look: New 2025 Fox Factory Transfer Dropper Post
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- Fox has redesigned the Transfer Dropper Post, resolving the previous generation’s issues, along with extending service intervals and providing a wider variety of dropper lengths. We recently had the opportunity to check out the Fox Factory HQ and chatted with Engineering Product Manager Tom Pollock, who ran us through all the details on the new Fox Transfer Dropper Post.

Woah, I forgot how far ahead One Up was
Except that One Up has decided to ditch the adjustable air chamber and still have a disposable air cartridge.
@@kevinxodemonth Fox still does a cartridge in their dampers.
@@ethanrevitch yeah, my point was OneUp decided to go the way of the majority of dropper posts on the market (disposable cartridge) while Fox has taken a page out of OneUp’s playbook and gone with an adjustable and rebuildable air chamber.
Literally everything I've ever wanted in a dropper post. Hope they're as reliable as they claim.
Lol it’s Called Oneup
Meh, not impressed with early 2020s tech being packaged as ‘new’ and 2x the cost 😂
Bout time you caught up to to one ups design lol.
Durable is definitely what we need, the last one was trash.
Seems like they've definitely remedied those previous blunders. Can't wait to get on one and give it a long term try!
@@FanatikBikeCothats what she said
Nice update but i see absolutely no reason not to buy a oneup post. Looks easier to service and is way cheaper.
The performance elite Transfer is right inline price wise with the OneUp! I do think some of the more robust brass fittings in the Fox make it an interesting competitor to the OneUp posts! No denying OneUp beat everyone to the punch with their droppers but I think we'll see some people catching up!
@@FanatikBikeCo thanks for the response. In germany the Oneup v3 costs 300 while the fox performance costs 370.
If i checked correctly the stack height of the Oneup is also lower and it weighs around 90g less
Meanwhile Rockshox can’t even get a 200mm AXS Reverb to the market
they can´t even deal with the hydraulic version.
Right! I cant believe people still simp for them!
Noice. Any wireless versions coming?
Just got one in 210. Fingers crossed Fox’s claim on durability and reliability holds true.
Does Fox have easy DIY service and repair videos like OneUp and RockShox?
Simon Szoke has my go-to transfer service guide, check it out (tools required tho)
I've had five FOX Factory Transfer Dropper Posts on five different bikes, and all of them needed servicing within just a few weeks because they got stuck while extending. Even after servicing, the issue persisted on all of them, and it continues to be a problem. I’m confident I’m not the only one with this experience, and it seems to be a design flaw. Has Fox addressed this issue in the 2025 model? I've not, don't buy one!
The 2025 is a complete redesign over the old design. So yes they have absolutely addressed the previous issues.
Well, now all there is to it is to see how this version will *_extend fully_* or not...
The changes look good on paper but we all need real world data.
Posts will be available later this summer and we certainly plan on putting it through its paces once its available!
My yt izzo came with a "premium" fox transfer post... As they say, fool me once, I will never buy anything fox ever again.
The new seat clamp on it looks heck of alot better! I have a brand new transfer on my 2024 emtb think it's the 2023 version sticks alot when sat for a day or so always needs to be pumped a few times to stay right
What about black bolts/screws in the seat clamps?!
Perhaps a new lever as well?
Otherwise a lot to like for me. I’ll certainly be buying.
unless it can do wheelies for me i aint buying
All previous transfers were absolute dogs. Worse than Reverbs.
Wow taka nowość, szkoda ze inne sztyce maja to od lat tylko biedny transfer wymagal dziwnych narzędzi do serwisu😂😂😂
never gonna buy a fox product again after they started charged for what is supposed to be the free orange caps that came with a service
Who are those people runing 30,9 seattubes? With top range Kashima coated droppers, mind you. I personally would rather have some 27,2 one with 120 travel.
The Transfer SL sounds like the right post for you!
@@FanatikBikeCo alas, they don't reach beyond mere 70 mm in this diameter.
Oh well, OneUp it is then
