"After riding high as the undisputed leader of wireless dropper posts for almost six years, RockShox got a wakeup call when Fox finally launched the Transfer Neo in the late summer of 2024. With a shorter stack height and collar-mounted electronics, the Fox Neo bested the Reverb's maximum drop of 170mm with a 200mm option - now up to 225mm after today's announcement."
"Known more formally as the Reverb AXS B1, the 2nd generation of the flagship wireless dropper launched in April of 2025. The new version addresses the shortcomings (literally) of its predecessor with more and longer sizes, new internals, and a new, collar-mounted position for the battery and controller. Overnight, the Reverb AXS went from being "too short" to the longest dropper on the market, along with improved fitment and aesthetics."
"The Yeti LTe e-bike that I've been riding on and off since September came with the latest Reverb AXS dropper. I've been testing it on that bike for months and have spent enough time riding it to know that it's a big improvement over the original. It's also the longest dropper on the market with unmatched wireless system integration, but does that make it the best?"
Fox introduced the Transfer Neo in late summer 2024 with a shorter stack height, collar-mounted electronics, and a 200mm (now up to 225mm) option, plus its Neo wireless protocol and a familiar wireless remote, surpassing the Reverb's 170mm limit. RockShox responded with the Reverb AXS B1 in April 2025, adding more and longer sizes, updated internals, and a collar-mounted battery and controller to improve fitment and aesthetics. Real-world testing on a Yeti LTe e-bike shows the new Reverb is a clear improvement with unmatched wireless integration, though whether it is the best depends on rider needs.
