SWR Adjustable: the dropper post that adapts to you

In today’s world of modern mountain biking, every detail can make a difference — your saddle position, the feel of the bike, and how quickly you respond to the terrain.
It’s from these needs that the SWR Adjustable was born: the telescopic seatpost by Switch Components that brings versatility and precision to a whole new level.

Ecco la traduzione in inglese del paragrafo:

Adjustable travel — for real.

The first standout feature of the SWR Adjustable is the ability to customize the travel to suit your specific needs — based on your frame and body geometry.

The seatpost is now available in two versions: 180 mm and 160 mm of travel.
Both can be internally adjusted in 5 mm increments, allowing for a total reduction of up to 25 mm, meaning:

• 160 mm, adjustable down to 135 mm

• 180 mm, adjustable down to 155 mm

This flexibility allows for improved comfort and helps ensure the seatpost is fully inserted into the frame (when the frame permits it).
For example, if you previously had to use a 150 mm dropper that stuck out 15 mm from the frame, you can now choose the 180 mm version, reduce the travel by 10 mm to 170 mm, and achieve full insertion while maintaining the same saddle height — with more drop.

This is made possible not only by the internal adjustment system, but also by the newly designed clamp and actuator, which reduce the overall length of the seatpost.

Optimized design: shorter length, greater compatibility

Another key aspect — often overlooked — is the total length of the seatpost.
Compared to the previous version, the SWR Adjustable is 1 cm shorter, while offering the same amount of travel.

This is made possible by a redesigned actuator and a more compact seat clamp, which also improve lever responsiveness and make installation easier.

The advantage? Increased compatibility with frames that have limited insertion depth — without sacrificing travel.

Tunable cartridge: the return speed you want

The internal air cartridge is adjustable via a top-mounted air valve.
The recommended pressure range is 250 to 300 PSI, with 280 PSI as the ideal balance between return speed and smooth operation.

This system allows you to fine-tune the extension speed to match your personal riding preferences.

In short: why choose the SWR Adjustable

✔ Customizable travel (135–160 mm or 155–180 mm)
✔ Compact, optimized design — perfect for frames with limited insertion
