Why would I want a dropper seatpost and can I do this on OFF & OFF AIR mountain bikes?
A dropper seatpost will allow your child to adjust the height of the saddle with the press of a button. The dropper seatpost means the rider won’t have to keep getting off the bike to adjust the saddle when negotiating a steep trail.
Internal dropper seatpost routing is available exclusively on woom OFF and woom OFF AIR size 5 (24″) and size 6 (26″) models from 2023 onward (including Release B and Release C).
- Please note: Size 4 (20″) models do not feature internal cable routing ports and are not compatible with internally routed dropper posts.
When selecting an aftermarket dropper seatpost for a size 5 or size 6 frame, ensure it matches these exact dimensions:
- Size 5 (24″): 27.2 mm diameter | 220 mm maximum insertion depth (60 mm minimum insertion requirement).
- Size 6 (26″): 27.2 mm diameter | 270 mm maximum insertion depth (60 mm minimum insertion requirement).
For a breakdown of a few dropper seatpost options available for 24” and 26” kids’ bikes, check out this article by the Bike Dads. You’ll need a seatpost with a 27.2mm diameter with an internally routed cable.
Please note that we recommend taking your bike to a professional mechanic for this upgrade.
