Magura Vyron MDS3

Does anyone have one of these dropper posts

If so what are they like?

How long does it stay awake before turning off once it has been switched on?

Pretty sure I am getting one for my birthday as enough hints have been sent my way

I will be replacing a Crankbrothers Highline 3 on my E160 RSX all being well

Never run one but keep us posted

I installed the AXS reverb 170mm. I had looked at the Magura wireless dropper at the time but the difference lead me to the AXS Reverb. The Magura dropper has improved since then but the Reverb is slightly faster. I believe they both need a little shake to activate.

I do like the idea of a coin battery for the dropper though but from what I’ve heard the Reverb is slightly quiter.

Regardless, both models are a luxury and both are expensive. I’m very happy with the Reverb though. Months after I installed the Reverb it had to be rebuilt under warranty …been good ever since.

Not going to lie, I would have gotten an AXS myself but thhe pice difference is almost £200 more

Im still shocked that my kids have bought me a Magura.

Just have to wait 4 weeks for it to be officially confirmed, although I have now seen the box

I agree. It’s a lot of money for something that just goes up n’ down.…but they are nice

Well 8 months in and its at the LBS as its failed, no longer raises. I can hear the motor activating but it no longer goes up

Hoping for a warranty replacement or a free fix

Magura replaced the post under warranty.

New one fitted today

Magura was fairly good after my AXS Reverb started to slowly sink after 3-4 months old. After 3+ years I only add slick-honey to the collar, oil the post to keep the wiper moist and completely removed a few times for cleaning and serving. Oh…and charge battery when I think about it.
