DROPPER POST INSERTION GUIDE
Droppers are an essential tool for the modern mountain bike but proper clearance checks
are required before heading out for your first ride.
The key checks are as follows:
Ensure your dropper is short enough to fit into the seat tube without interfering with the
frames structure but you are still able to achieve your desired BB-Saddle measurement.
See the max insertion depth chart to confirm this distance for wired and wireless posts.
There are some scenarios where you can fit a longer dropper in your frame but when you
drop your dropper the saddle or battery for AXS posts could interfere with your tire during
a suspension compression. See the Min BB-Saddle at full drop to confirm this distance.
Always perform a final check to ensure your post is installed to at least the minimum
insertion line. Also, compress the dropper and suspension, let the air out of your shock,
to ensure there is no tire interference to the saddle or AXS battery at full bottom out.
We strive to spec out dropper lengths to provide the maximum drop for the highest
percentage of our riders. There is a wide range of saddle heights for every frame size.
There is a possibility saddle height could fall outside of this range. A small percentage
of customers might find they require a shorter or longer post given their saddle height.
Please ensure you check the minimum dimensions in the below tables before going for
your first ride. Failure to do so could result in tire to saddle rub or tire to battery contact
for AXS posts.
Please confirm both of these measurements, they are both required to ensure proper
dropper fitment.
If you have any questions, please contact Yeti or your local bike shop.

post you confirm that there is not any interference of the tire hitting the battery when the post
is fully dropped and the suspension is fully compressed.
**If you go lower then listed minimum you run the risk of tire to saddle interference.
