What’s it for?

The Drop Dropper Lever allows you to run a dropper post on your gravel or road bike. It can be installed on SRAM 11 speed or SRAM 12 speed Apex mechanical (rather than electric) shifters. For 11 speed shifters the brakes can be cable or hydraulic actuated. For SRAM 11-speed cable-actuated brake shifters we provide an extra bumper to glue onto your brake lever to remove the possibility of the lever jamming into the dropper lever.

Please note that our drop dropper lever is only compatible with 1x systems as it replaces the front shift lever. It is not possible to operate a 2x system and run our drop dropper lever at the same time.
