ANYONE who rides any kind of mountain bike can benefit from a dropper post. 'Getting behind the saddle' is an outdated "solution" to a problem that no longer needs to exist. With a dropper post, you get the saddle out of the way so you can position yourself in a proper attack position for every situation - - you will find yourself being able to ride more in the middle of the cockpit with better weight distribution than the old-skool exaggerated 'hanging off the back' style.
