The updated PNW Loam Dropper V2 has been redesigned with additional sizes, lower stack height, and the same simple-to-service design PNW is known for. Get to know the new Loam Dropper V2 here…

Founded in 2015, PNW Components has had a busy and successful first decade of business. Aaron Kerson created the company after identifying a gap in the market for high-quality bicycle components at affordable prices, and their small team has remained committed to this mission. Today, PNW offers a wide selection of dropper posts, dropper levers, handlebars, stems, and pedals, all available at approachable price points.

The original Loam Dropper was released in 2020, building on the Bachelor Dropper, the brand’s highest-end dropper post at the time. It promised a lower stack height, allowing for the lowest possible saddle, the same tool-free travel adjust system found on the Rainier Dropper, and they shaved around 40 grams off of the Bachelor in the process. I’ve logged thousands of miles on PNW dropper posts over the years and have yet to have a negative experience.

Just announced, the new Loam Dropper V2 has been redesigned to be PNW’s most reliable dropper post yet. It features a lower stack height, providing a lower saddle and more room to dial in the position of your dropper, and they’ve added 175mm and 225mm travel models to the standard 150, 175, and 200mm options. It is built up with a new sealed dual-chamber cartridge with a revamped travel adjust bushing and beefier brass keys that PNW says all work together to create a stronger, smoother, and longer-lasting system. The new cartridge has no air port, meaning you can’t adjust the air pressure of the post, and it is pre-charged straight from PNW.

• CARTRIDGE: PNW Dual-Chamber Sealed Cartridge
• ROUTING METHOD: Internal
• DIAMETERS: 30.9mm, 31.6mm. 34.9mm
• WEIGHT: 200 to 452 grams (depending on size)
• TRAVEL: 125mm, 150mm, 175mm, 200mm, 225mm
• STANCHION DIAMETER: 30.9mm & 31.6mm: 26mm, 34.9: 29mm
• LEVER COMPATIBILITY: Compatible with all PNW levers and most
  cable-actuated levers from other brands.
• TRAVEL ADJUST: 25mm of tool-less travel adjust in 5mm increments allows riders to hit every 5mm increment between 100 and 225

The Loam is available in black or the previously limited-edition shiny silver alloy, thanks to an abrasion resistant, hard anodization process that ensures the silver posts carry the same scratch-resistant standards as their black posts. As always, customers can add a pop of color with a choice of PNW’s signature silicone midcap bands in Black Out Black, Safety Orange, Cement Grey, Fruit Snacks, Seafoam Teal, Really Red, Peanut Butter, or Moss Green.

The black Loam Dropper V2 costs $229 USD, and the silver version costs $234. Each post comes with a lifetime warranty, and PNW offers a complete range of service parts and instructional videos to make servicing your post easier. The Loam V2 doesn’t include a dropper lever, but PNW has a several great options at various price points, including levers designed for drop bars.
