Description
The SDG Tellis Dropper Seatpost is the dropper post you’ve all been waiting for! SDG has been committed to making saddles for decades and after watching silently, they’ve decided to address the four problems they found with dropper posts on the market: durability, simplicity, feather-light actuation and affordability.SDG owner, Tyler Anspach is passionate about the SDG Tellis Dropper Seatpost stating, “Throughout the development, we sent 120 posts to SDG athletes, product testers and key product managers at several large bike brands, from all over the world. The final results have all been positive and that was the ultimate goal. SDG will never put our name on a product we don’t believe in."After two years of testing, refinement, along with countless hours on a “highly-sophisticated” test rig and passing all required ISO and EN standards, SDG is confident the new Tellis dropper post is exactly what we’ve wanted all along.It is affordable, easy to work on and above all else, a reliable dropper seat post. Sure, Huntington Beach in California is not the ideal environment for dropper post testing, but you may not know about SDG's secret science shed in Kamloops, British Columbia. Devyn Pelley, Chief Tester and SDG Global Sales Director spearheaded the global test team, while also setting up the reciprocating linear actuator motor to cycle the Tellis seat post for 6 months to complement the SDG lab testing in Taiwan.And thanks to climate control features in his secret shed, along with riding his local trails in Kamloops, the Tellis post performed exceptionally in temperatures down to 20 Celsius.Wanting to test more than cold weather functionality, SDG developed a self-contained vat of muddy grit that encapsulated the seal around the shaft. The machine ran for months as they tried to promote real-world exposure to water, mud and debris. The system remained clean and functioning even after countless hours of cycling through the muddy water.Less means more when it comes to the SDG philosophy regarding reliability. Less moving parts in the Tellis post ensure riders are spending more time riding and less time bleeding, adjusting or cursing.The Tellis is this simple. The SDG Tellis uses a fully sealed cartridge system. The 3D forged head is sleek and eliminates one more potential joint for creaks or play to develop. The Tellis is constructed with an intelligent keyway system to eliminate lateral head movement and uses 7075 forged clamps and nothing but the highest quality hardware and fitments to further improve the post’s longevity and performance. Also, this post is not only easy on your wallet, it’s easy on your thumb – the Tellis has one of the lightest actuations in the game. No more thumb pump.SDG has never released a product they didn’t believe in and the Tellis is no exception.SDG Tellis Dropper Seatpost SpecificationsTravel: 125mm, 150mm, 100mm, 170mmDiameter: 30.9 & 31.6mmRail Compatibility: 7x7mm & 7x9mmC/F Routing: Internal OnlyLengths: 390mm & 440mm + Actuator 27mmWeight: 552g (30.9x150mm), 36g (Lever), 87g (Housing & Cable)*Includes Lever and Jagwire LEX
