FAQs
Does this post come with a remote lever?
No, the Race Face Turbine R is sold as the seatpost unit only; a compatible mechanical remote lever must be purchased separately.
Can I use this on a bike with internal cable routing?
Yes, this post is designed for internal routing, compatible with frames that support stealth dropper posts.
What maintenance does the mechanical system require?
It uses standard shifter cable and housing, which should be inspected and replaced periodically to maintain smooth lever action.
How do I determine which diameter I need?
Check your frame manufacturer's specifications. You must match either 30.9mm or 31.6mm exactly to your seat tube.
What is the benefit of the new clamp design?
The patent-pending clamp design significantly reduces the stack height, which allows for more travel in frames with limited seat tube clearance.
Troubleshooting
Dropper is sluggish to return
Check cable tension at the remote and ensure the housing is not kinked or contaminated.
Saddle creaks or shifts
Verify that the two-bolt clamp hardware is tightened to the recommended torque specifications.
Post does not lock in position
Increase cable tension at the barrel adjuster on the remote to ensure full actuation of the lever mechanism.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly lower stack height for better clearance
- Uses standard, inexpensive cable and housing
- Proven mechanical reliability from FOX internals
- Lightweight design saves 25g over previous models
- Easy adjustment of saddle angle and position
Cons
- Not compatible with hydraulic remote systems
- Specific diameter required (no shims recommended)
- Requires a separate remote lever purchase
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation involves routing a standard shifter cable from your handlebar remote to the bottom of the seatpost. Ensure your frame uses a 30.9mm or 31.6mm diameter seat tube to avoid damage. To maintain performance, keep the stanchion clean of mud and debris after wet rides. Periodically check the 2-bolt clamp torque to ensure the saddle remains secure. Since it utilizes a mechanical system, you should replace the inner cable and housing annually or whenever you notice increased friction at the lever.
