Are KS dropper posts good?
The KS LEV Si has a great price, great performance, low stack height and low insertion depth. It would make a great upgrade for someone looking to get their first dropper post, or upgrading a shorter post. Only the basic features let it down.
Why won’t my dropper post stay down?
If you press the lever of your dropper post and nothing happens (the post either stays up or down), then there is not enough tension on the cable. You’ll want to ADD tension. If your dropper post is moving without pressing the lever (it won’t stay up as you are riding), then you have too much tension on the cable.
What PSI should my dropper post be?
All dropper posts use a spring to extend the seat upwards. In some posts, this air spring is small and held at relatively high pressure (around 200 – 250 psi). When the post is in the dropped position, that air pressure can be up to 3 times higher.
What is the longest dropper post?

Is the KS Lev Integra the post for You?
That said, if weight is a priority, then the LEV Integra may be the post for you. The KS LEV Integra weighs 576g including cable, housing and remote in our tested 150mm length. At $323, the LEV Integra is a good value. Typically in the bike world, when something weighs less, it tends to cost more, but this is not the case with the KS Dropper.
What sizes does the Lev Integra come in?
The LEV Integra comes in 30.9mm, 31.6mm (tested), and 34.9mm diameters. Travel options are 100mm, 125mm, and 150mm (tested). In addition to the LEV Integra, KS also produces many other dropper posts.
Is the Lev Integra the best dropper for your ibis?
The LEV Integra came stock on our tester’s Ibis Ripley LS and has taken more than a full season of use and abuse. In that time, we have found the KS dropper to provide smooth, consistent, and reliable travel while requiring little to no maintenance. Not only has it performed well, but it’s among the lightest posts in our test.
What is an Integra dropper and should I get one?
The Integra was one of the first internally- routed droppers, and it’s always been a relatively low profile design, but KS has actually reduced the insertion depth, which means you can get a longer post in your frame without any issues with the saddle being too high at full extension.
