Know before you buy
The Turbine R 1x is a universal cable-actuated remote. It works with the vast majority of mechanical dropper posts that use a standard cable-and-housing setup.
No, this remote is specifically designed for 1x drivetrains. It replaces the position where a front shifter would typically sit, so it is not compatible with bikes that still use a front derailleur.
Yes, the kit includes the necessary hardware for installation. However, you should ensure your current cable housing is in good condition or replace it during installation for the smoothest lever action.
The Turbine R features a high-leverage design that makes the actuation feel light and snappy. It is engineered to minimize the thumb force required to drop or raise your post, even in muddy or cold conditions.
Yes, the blue finish is anodized, which is highly resistant to scratching and fading. It is built to withstand the typical wear and tear of trail riding while maintaining its aesthetic appeal.
