We fell for the e*thirteen TRS+. The only post in the group test to use a simple spring rather than a complex cartridge (and therefore cheaper in the long run), we love the easy ‘kitchen worktop’ servicing and the brilliant remote. Yes, it only has four positions, but works so well it has us questioning what more we needed from a dropper post. A Best Value winner for sure...

No one’s going to argue: dropper posts are the best guests at any trail riding party. But traditionally, price-point focussed models have often lacked the etiquette to really make a welcome guest, coming with bad manners and erratic behavior! The latest dropper post from E*thirteen has scrubbed up incredibly well...

With the TRS+ dropper post, e*thirteen continues to add yet more products to its ever expanding portfolio after being initially known to many riders as “the chain guide company”. Whilst best known for producing a wide range of chain devices to cover everything from full-blown downhill tensioners, through to lightweight upper guides for XC race bikes, e*thirteen has expanded its range to include chainrings, wide-range cassettes, carbon and alloy-rimmed wheels, and even tyres. And as of now, dropper seatposts too.

And now for something...
...completely different. I'm staring at the individual components of e*thirteen's coil sprung TRS+ dropper post laid out on the bench. The TRS+ is a unique product in the dropper post market place.
I hadn't even ridden the post yet and off the top of my head I can think of a handful of friends for whom this is the best dropper on the market. What do they have in common? They aren't afraid to tackle their own maintenance jobs even if it takes a bit of time but, on the flip side they want products that are 100% user rebuildable...

In just over a week, e*thirteen’s latest product will be hitting store shelves. That of course is the new TRS+ dropper seatpost, which was introduced at Eurobike. Since then a few details have changed, but overall the basis behind the post remains the same – a full mechanical post that is ‘reliable, serviceable, and affordable.’ If what we’ve experienced so far is any indication, e*thirteen has succeeded with a post that is easy to install, simple to actuate, and seems like it will hold up to a life of abuse.

Burger King ain’t got nothing on today’s mountain-bike-drivetrain menu. Riders are able to have it their way via a menu of shifting concepts, gear ratios and chainring configurations. Narrow-wide chainrings and clutch-style derailleurs have done wonders in the chain retention game, reducing the number of conventional chainguide devices being used in on everything from cross-country to enduro and park bikes.
When it comes to downhill bikes sporting eight or more inches of rear-wheel-travel, though, chain slap and drivetrain dangle is still a factor. Combine the high speeds with the harsh impacts these bikes endure, and it’s no mystery why most stock offerings come equipped with a chainguide.

e*thirteen TRSr tires: Long-term review
When I hear the name e*thirteen, I first and foremost think of chain guides and rings. More recently their LG1 wheelsets have made some noise but it was still a little surprising when word came down that they had started to produce their own line of rubber; enter the e*thirteen TRS tires. The TRS tires are available in a super sticky triple compound as well as a Plus compound in 27.5, 27.5+ and 29 sizes. The Plus version is designed for durability, while the triple compound Race variation, as the name implies, is designed for performance and the rigours of the enduro race circuit....

What is it?
It is a 125 or 150mm dropper post with a fully mechanical design. Mechanical cable actuation, mechanical spring and a key to hold and release the post. Thus, it is an indexed dropper with 4 distinct seatpost height positions.
Cable routing is all internal so the frames need to be designed with internal routing. Seat retention is performed by the reliable and easily adjustable two-bolt design.
It is a 4-position dropper instead of ‘infinite’. There are two indexed middle positions at 75mm and 125mm within the 150mm travel stroke.

Just a few short years ago, there were not that many dropper post contenders on the market - and just a few short years before that, your seatpost clamp was your only ticket to more fun on the descents. Fast forward to today, and there are more than 20 viable options for those looking to drop their seats at the push of a button. Or lever, as the case may be. e*thirteen is one of the latest companies to join in the fun with their TRS+ dropper post, first unveiled at last year’s Eurobike and now available for sale. But rather than go down the me-too road with another airsprung, hydraulic cartridge offering, e*thirteen took a different approach. We’ve tested it to see how it performs. e*thirteen TRS+ Dropper Post Highlights
• Fully mechanical design • 4 set positions (150-125-75-0 / 125-95-65-0) • Cable adjustment at lever • Stealth cable routing only • Interface style: railed • SKF low-friction, dual-lip seal • 1x or 2x compatible lever options • Grip tape pre-installed on shifter-style lever • Shop serviceable • Weight: 575 grams (31.6, 150mm, verified) • MSRP: $279 USD

DESIGN INNOVATION AWARDS 2017
Despite the irrefutable benefits of riding 1x set-up, many riders are still reluctant given their higher prices and limited gear range. Fortunately, E*thirteen’s new TRS Race 9–46t cassette tackles both issues and looks set to bring 1x to the masses. Weighing in at just 309 g, the cassette’s price tag comes in at the middle of the market at 369 € and has a gear range of 511 % – a figure that was previously only really found on double or triple chainrings. The TRS Race cassette can be mounted on any XD freehub body, and is also compatible with SRAM and Shimano derailleurs. It’s also a two-piece cassette, allowing you to sensibly replace only what’s worn or broken as and when needed.
