For the new season KS presents their models with even more variations.

Kind Shock have revised their entire dropper-post portfolio. All of the different models are now available with even more variations (travel, diameter, cable routing). One special highlight: the new carbon Kind Shock LEV Ci now also available with 175 mm travel. On this version the insertion length is 490 mm, the weight is around 461 g and the price lies at an impressive € 550.
One upgrade that is not at all expensive but makes the installation significantly easier is the new cable routing. In this case the cable length is not controlled on the post side but from the remote. Additionally, KS offers all weight fetishists a Southpaw Carbon-remote.

Now there is also the possibility to clamp the cable guide at the rear of the lever. This makes the installation much easier.
