Bike Yoke Revive Review

Easy to rebuild if for some reason needed.

Bike yoke revive review.

It is easier to set up and my 9 8 only works for a handful of rides before it has to be. The revive is an exciting and innovative product from german parts manufacturer bike yoke. Fast forward to the downhill portion of my first ride with the bikeyoke divine when my bike started to sound like something was falling apart. The bike yoke revive is our test winner from a year ago and while it remains unchanged bike yoke has added an additional 34 9mm size and there s also a new lightweight short travel dropper in the range called the divine.

The bike yoke is waaaaay better. Adjustable air pressure allows for speed adjust and an audible top out knock if you so wish for it. I currently run two ks lev posts one on a gravel bike a fox transfer factory and a reverb. The revive also features a one piece lower tube which provides better load displacement and yields extra wall thickness at the collar area so it s less prone to problems if you accidently ham fist tighten the seat clamp.

When it was introduced in 2017 bikeyoke s revive was the longest stroke dropper on the market featuring 185mm of infinitely adjustable travel. It is the smoothest easiest to depress dropper i have ever used hands down. The revive had been getting great reviews so we were eager to test it against our stacked selection of dropper seatposts. I tested the revive with a fancy fizik saddle that has tall oval carbon rails without issue.

Bike yoke is very informative as well. At 390 the revive is not the cheapest dropper post on test but it s easily the smoothest. Revive feature fixes any deadspot in a few seconds instead of rebuilding or sending in your seatpost. Bikeyoke revive 2 0 dropper post functionally the revive 2 0 is the same but it gets a boost in strength for today s longer stroke droppers.

My revive has hundreds of miles on it and has always worked flawlessly. Indeed when andrew and jeff took our review unit apart they came away impressed. We chose the 185mm travel version which just barely fit on our test bike. When things got a little bit less steep and a little bit less technical i sat down to figure out what was coming loose.

It is that smooth. Installation the bikeyoke lived on my kona honzo for five months photo. I ve used lots of other posts on various demo and test bikes bike industry friends and this just blows them all away. Bikeyoke s revive dropper post has been on the market for over 2 years now and seems to have somewhat stealthily achieved a very solid reputation for quality and durability.
