Fox Transfer Factory SL: Lightest Dropper Yet
1 min read
Fox has redefined what a dropper post can weigh. The new Transfer Factory SL tips the scales at just 345 grams in its 125mm guise, making it the lightest performance dropper on the market by a meaningful margin.
The Engineering
The secret is a completely redesigned cartridge that replaces traditional nitrogen-charged oil with a sealed air spring mechanism. Fox claims 50,000 cycle durability. Three weeks and several thousand metres of elevation later, we have no reason to doubt them.
At 345g you’ll forget it’s there until you need it. Then you’ll wonder how you rode without it.
