Now, the QBP brand is taking its first crack at mountain bike dropper posts. I\u2019ve been putting the 230mm travel Teravail Telec through its paces since November of last year, which has given me plenty of time to become intimately familiar with the new post. Needless to say, we\u2019ve been through a lot of ups and downs together.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-teravail-telec-key-specs\">Teravail Telec key specs<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Weight: 661g, not including remote (30.9x230mm)<\/li>\n<li>Price: $229.

There\u2019s also a dedicated 27.2mm model for gravel bikes, released last month, available with 100 or 125mm travel.<\/p>\n<p>I tested the 230mm option with a 30.9mm diameter, which weighs 661g without the remote. That weight is higher than comparable dropper posts from OneUp and Bike Yoke. In fact, it\u2019s heavier than pretty much any similar-sized dropper post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.singletracks.com\/mtb-gear\/best-dropper-posts\/\">I\u2019ve tested<\/a> over the past couple of years.<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 250px;padding: auto;margin-bottom: 20px\" class=\"singl-d74123df014bb5616597f9ac1ef33d14 singl-content\" id=\"singl-d74123df014bb5616597f9ac1ef33d14\"><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-speed-where-it-counts\">Speed where it counts<\/h2>\n<p>The Teravail Telec boasts an impressive return speed. I captured several dropper posts with high speed video to see how quickly they rocketed from fully down to fully up. Out of the box, the Telec clocked 0.25 seconds during my testing, which puts it right in the sweet spot between the blazing-fast OneUp V3 (0.18s) and the slightly slower Fox Transfer Neo (0.29s). That quarter-second return is quick enough to feel responsive on technical climbs and transitions without being so abrupt that it catches you off guard.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/teravail-telec-dropper-post.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1170\" height=\"780\" src=\"\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201170%20780'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/teravail-telec-dropper-post-1170x780.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-715035 lazy\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/teravail-telec-dropper-post-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/teravail-telec-dropper-post-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/teravail-telec-dropper-post-375x250.jpg 375w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/teravail-telec-dropper-post-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/teravail-telec-dropper-post-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/teravail-telec-dropper-post-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/images.singletracks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/teravail-telec-dropper-post-600x400.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>The pressure is adjustable, which is nice for fine-tuning the feel and return speed.

For example, you can reduce the 230mm-travel post\u2019s travel to 200mm to fit your bike. Travel adjust is tool-free, and Teravail has helpfully marked the increments on the post as shown in the photo above.<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 250px;padding: auto;margin-bottom: 20px\" class=\"singl-143827fe77062c599517d4fd7212afbc singl-content\" id=\"singl-143827fe77062c599517d4fd7212afbc\"><\/div>\n<p>Though Teravail hadn\u2019t published a fit guide at the time of publication, the 230mm post I tested has a maximum insertion length of about 355mm.
