Bike Yoke Revive Review

It is that smooth.

Bike yoke revive review. Bikeyoke s revive dropper post has been on the market for over 2 years now and seems to have somewhat stealthily achieved a very solid reputation for quality and durability. I currently run two ks lev posts one on a gravel bike a fox transfer factory and a reverb. As i sat down i practically slid off the front of my saddle. The bike yoke is waaaaay better.

Adjustable air pressure allows for speed adjust and an audible top out knock if you so wish for it. My revive has hundreds of miles on it and has always worked flawlessly. I ve used lots of other posts on various demo and test bikes bike industry friends and this just blows them all away. The revive had been getting great reviews so we were eager to test it against our stacked selection of dropper seatposts.

It is easier to set up and my 9 8 only works for a handful of rides before it has to be. The bike yoke revive is our test winner from a year ago and while it remains unchanged bike yoke has added an additional 34 9mm size and there s also a new lightweight short travel dropper in the range called the divine. It is the smoothest easiest to depress dropper i have ever used hands down. Fast forward to the downhill portion of my first ride with the bikeyoke divine when my bike started to sound like something was falling apart.

We chose the 185mm travel version which just barely fit on our test bike. Installation the bikeyoke lived on my kona honzo for five months photo. Easy to rebuild if for some reason needed. The revive also features a one piece lower tube which provides better load displacement and yields extra wall thickness at the collar area so it s less prone to problems if you accidently ham fist tighten the seat clamp.

When things got a little bit less steep and a little bit less technical i sat down to figure out what was coming loose. The revive is an exciting and innovative product from german parts manufacturer bike yoke. It also has been impervious to cold as witnessed by a winter s worth of testing on a canyon dude fat bike. Aaron chamberlain bikeyoke carefully considered and artfully crafted every detail of the revive dropper.

When it was introduced in 2017 bikeyoke s revive was the longest stroke dropper on the market featuring 185mm of infinitely adjustable travel. Indeed when andrew and jeff took our review unit apart they came away impressed. Bike yoke is very informative as well. Bikeyoke revive 2 0 dropper post functionally the revive 2 0 is the same but it gets a boost in strength for today s longer stroke droppers.
