New OneUp Components V2 240 mm dropper post – Does length really matter?

**Weight:** 667 g dropper post + 46 g remote | **Insertion depth:** 360 mm | **Travel:** 240 mm | **Collar height:** 18 mm | **Price:** 239,50 € (without Remote)

OneUp Components have released a longer version of the V2 dropper post with an unprecedented 240 mm travel. It’s clear that it has the length, but can it perform? We tested the long-travel dropper in the new Orbea Rallon M-Team and tell you how it fared.

Any rider with a stack height over 273mm can benefit most from the dropper’s full 240 mm travel.

Attention everyone with long legs and those who are over 1.90 m tall! OneUp are making your wildest dreams come true with their latest long-travel dropper post, so you will no longer have you worry about your crown jewels on the descents. The OneUp V2 twoforty offers 240 mm travel and an insertion depth of just 360 mm. It performs very reliably in conjunction with the V2 handlebar remote and requires little effort to actuate. Despite its length when extended and the low insertion depth, the seat post still feels plenty stiff, instilling you with confidence – excellent!

The collar of the V2 twoforty is only 18 mm high.

The seat clamp is also kept very compact.

90 + 90 = 240?! In total, OneUp’s two 90 mm droppers are as long as one 240 mm version.

Along with the record-breaking 240 mm dropper, OneUp Components have also updated their portfolio at the other end of the spectrum, releasing a dropper post with just 90 mm travel. In addition to downhill-oriented kids’ bikes, this extremely short version is designed primarily for ebikes, which often have a limited insertion depth due to their design. As such, many short riders must settle on a poor compromise, but that’s no longer the case with the OneUp V2 ninety. All OneUp Components dropper posts allow you to adjust the travel via 10 mm shims, so the brand now covers every length from 90 mm to 240 mm in one-centimetre increments – you’re almost guaranteed to find a suitable model!

David vs Goliath: the 170 mm RockShox Reverb AXS is just 55 mm shorter in terms of the insertion depth with a 70 mm difference in travel.

OneUp Components show that it’s not just always about having the longest dropper post but also one of the shortest, expanding their portfolio with new additions on both extremes. There certainly are riders amongst us who will benefit from this, finally able to find a dropper post that fits while offering maximum freedom of movement.
