What we spied earlier this year on Richie Rude’s bike may not have been an update to the D.O.S.S. after all, but rather an unmarked version of an upcoming Fox Transfer dropper seatpost. Which shouldn’t come as a surprise since they’ve dropped hint after hint.
We spotted this version behind a team truck, and other versions with a black stanchion were shown on their social media accounts over the past few months. So, our guess is it’ll come in Factory with Kashima and Performance with the recently introduced black ano coating.
We reviewed the original D.O.S.S. dropper post and liked it, citing its dependability and solid build. But, there were a few things that needed updating to keep it competitive. Stealth routing was the big one, and the Transfer appears to get that. Infinite adjust is the other, and rumor is this one does away with the three step positioning in favor of stopping anywhere within its travel. Beyond that, details are being kept behind closed doors. Our inside source tells us the Transfer’s release is coming up very soon, though. Stay tuned…
