it&#8217;s seriously so good. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The grip tape and lever paddle shape \/ feel are grabby and <\/span><\/span><em><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">just right<\/span><\/span><\/em><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">, respectively. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The long set screw provides a great deal of adjustment for the blade&#8217;s starting position, while having 3 mounting positions give you plenty of room laterally. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">I wouldn&#8217;t rate the lever action itself as super light by any means as e*thirteen claims, but rather it felt pretty middle of the road. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Despite its short throw, once I got used to the feel, I noticed it was possible to control the return speed by feathering it a bit. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">With that in mind, since the Vario operates with a pre-charged cartridge you can&#8217;t adjust pressure internally to make things faster or slower. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Overall the return speed is on the slow side, which is fine with me as there is nothing worse than getting punched down there by your saddle. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Remember the Specialized Command Post? <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">My reproductive bits sure do.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMC_4215.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-236201\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMC_4215.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMC_4215.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMC_4215-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMC_4215-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">As far as some of the technical features go, I&#8217;m pretty long limbed and prefer a seatpost travel of at least 170mm, so while I dabbled with the adjustments to see how they worked, but mainly rode the Vario at its longest travel 180mm option. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">While like most riders, my travel adjustment will be a set it and forget it thing. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">That said, changing the travel is super easy and e*thirteen deserves some props for being the first to make this process tool free and easy to go back and forth without cutting bits and \/ or replacing them. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In this regard the Vario is brilliantly executed. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">As far as the head is concerned, the fact that it was one piece helps prevent it from creaking. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It boasts plenty of range in angle adjustment (28\u00ba) and a wide, supportive base that should help prevent bent rails. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Lastly, just like <\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/en\/tested-ethirteen-race-carbon-handlebar-plus-35-stem\/\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">e*thirteen&#8217;s new stem<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">, the Vario&#8217;s head uses T25 torx hardware, which I think is better option than allen keys.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Overall<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">So far, so good &#8211; the performance of the Vario dropper has been solid. Time will tell in the long term. T<\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">he only potential hangup could be, if you don&#8217;t like a return speed that leans slightly on the slow side, then it might not be for you. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The range in travel adjustment is handy for personalizing things, and every aspect from a design standpoint is excellent, with the lever being the highlight. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The weight and range are fairly middle of the road &#8211; certainly nothing to be scoffed at. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">As far as durability goes, so far there have been no signs of premature wear but we&#8217;ve only been riding it for a few weeks. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">There is and has always been, the slightest bit of up and down play, but hardly any side to side. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In the time I&#8217;ve been riding the Vario, neither of these aspects have worsened, so it&#8217;s safe to say it&#8217;<\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">s the just standard room necessary for the internal parts to function properly with respect to their action. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Regardless, e*thirteen will have you covered with rebuild kits for $25 when things wear down. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">All in all, a really good seatpost &#8211; it&#8217;s sturdy, straightforward, and features some new and unique industry first features, along with a killer lever.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bythehive.com\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">www.bythehive.com<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few weeks ago, e*thirteen sent us a sample of their newly revised Vario Infinite dropper seatpost.

e*thirteen Vario Infinite Dropper Seatpost","og_description":"A few weeks ago, e*thirteen sent us a sample of their newly revised Vario Infinite dropper seatpost. Available in two lengths with each offering a 30mm range of travel adjustment within their respective size, they are available for 30.9 and 31.6 diameter frames. You could of course use a shim for a 34.9mm frame if you wanted to. Anyhow, as the Vario replaces e*thirteen&#8217;s seatposts of old, it is introduced along side a really slick new lever. As of late, we&#8217;ve been using said lever in unison with the longest travel version of the seatpost pretty frequently for a
