XFusion HiLo seatpost


XFusion HiLo dropper post

Quick facts for this version

  • 100mm drop;
  • 31.6mm diameter;
  • cable remote version;
  • post by itself weighs 569g.

Installation

The post came without any installation guide or user manual.  XFusion have an online video showing how to install it, but things are pretty straightforward:

  • start by installing the remote lever on your bars;
  • insert cable into remote lever;
  • use the provided cable elbow to route cable from back of lever to a direction along the bars;
  • route cable with suitable housing to the post;
  • screw adjuster into underside of post head;
  • use spring and inner plastic guide to route cable over the top of the post;
  • secure cable with grub screw in lever;
  • cut cable and neaten things up.

For this particular install I was able to use the internal routing on this frame for the front derailleur to get the dropper seatpost cable to the back of the top tube.  This resulted in a pretty neat setup. Even though the frame did not come with cable mounts for a dropper, the install was neat and tidy.
