Spotted: 2026 Rock Shox Reverb AXS and T-Type Release Date Confirmed

Longer, stronger, better? RockShox is introducing a completely new dropper post. Featuring new internals, features and a travel that finally leaves behind 170mm to become the longest dropper available with 250mm.

RockShox AXS Reverb 2026:

The latest iteration of the RockShox Reverb AXS dropper post marks a significant shift in the product's development. The new Reverb AXS retails for €600 without the remote, while the complete set with the AXS remote costs around €690. This pricing makes it significantly more affordable than competitors like the FOX Transfer Neo, which costs over twice as much at €1,319.

The new Reverb AXS is available in three common seat tube diameters (30.9, 31.6, and 34.9 mm) and offers travel options ranging from 100 mm to 250 mm. This makes it the longest-travel dropper post on the market, suitable to even the tallest riders.

The travel options are spaced in practical 25 mm increments, ensuring there's something for everyone. While there's no option to reduce travel internally, the 250 mm drop is likely to be a game-changer for many riders.

The Reverb AXS is operated via the familiar AXS paddle remote, which is sold separately for around €90. The remote runs on a standard coin cell battery that can last up to two years, depending on usage.

In the event of remote failure, the post can still be operated manually via a button next to the battery unit. However, it's essential to note that the battery must be installed and charged for any operation.

RockShox has given the new Reverb AXS a complete internal overhaul, introducing an all-new air spring design. This redesign simplifies maintenance and extends service intervals. According to RockShox, a basic service is recommended once a year or after around 300 hours of riding time. Hopefully this means that the new Reverb is more realiable that it´s previous generation.

The new air spring also allows for adjustments to be made to the feel of the post. Out of the box, the Reverb AXS comes pre-set with maximum air pressure, increasing resistance when lowering the post. However, riders can reduce the pressure to achieve a lighter feel.

When fully extended, the Reverb AXS is rock solid, ideal for efficient pedaling. However, when dropped even slightly, the ActiveRide system kicks in, providing noticeable suspension and adding comfort and traction, especially on steep technical climbs.
