Is it possible to add an internal cable dropper post to a Orbea Urrun?

Adding a dropper post to an Orbea Urrun

Welcome to the forum, @The bikebodger! Short answer: yes, you can fit a dropper to the Urrun, but it's not plug-and-play.
The Urrun ships with a basic alloy seatpost (31.6mm diameter), so the frame itself is dropper-ready in terms of clamp size. The complication is the routing. From what the community here has noted, the Urrun uses headset cable routing - cables pass through the headset area rather than a conventional down-tube port - which makes running a new cable a bit more involved than on a standard hardtail, though the end result is a clean cockpit once done.
A few practical things to check: • Seatpost diameter: 31.6mm - confirmed from the Urrun's spec
• Internal routing: The Urrun does have internal cable routing provision, but the headset-routed design means installation is more fiddly than average; you'll want to plan the cable run before committing
• Dropper choice: Any 31.6mm cable-actuated dropper will fit the clamp; the OneUp V3 or RockShox Reverb AXS (wireless, sidesteps the cable routing headache entirely) are popular choices - the wireless option is worth considering specifically because it skips the fiddly cable run altogether
• Travel: Check your frame's available insertion depth before buying - hardtails vary more than you'd expect Worth measuring your minimum insertion depth carefully before ordering, as that'll determine how much drop you can realistically run.
