This OneUp lever adds features to your SRAM mechanical shifters

Carrying a dropper post on gravel bikes is becoming more common, especially among those who take a more radical approach to this discipline. However, placing the lever to operate the seatpost on a curved handlebar is complicated and impractical. The component brand OneUp has thought about this and has found a solution for users of SRAM mechanical groups.

OneUp integrates the lever to operate the dropper post in SRAM mechanical shifters

When SRAM launched its AXS groups, one of the features they thought of for gravel bikes was to use the same gesture used on road bikes to change gears to operate their then newly introduced electrically operated dropper post with the same wireless system as their gears.

However, many users of their 11-speed mechanical groups, which are still very common in many gravel models, were left wanting this feature. Thinking of them, the component brand OneUp, which offers dropper posts in their catalog, has designed a lever for these groups.

Users of SRAM mechanical shifters in gravel bikes usually use the brand's single-chainring groups, where the left shifter lacks a lever as if they were using those designed for double-chainring setups. The problem is that SRAM does not sell separate double-chainring shifters to be able to use that lever to operate the seatpost.

This is precisely what OneUp has launched, a lever that is placed on the left shifter as if it were the lever to operate the chainring, specifically designed to operate their dropper posts while seamlessly integrating into SRAM single-chainring shifters.

Undoubtedly, the cleanest way to use a dropper post on our gravel bike without breaking the aesthetic of the handlebar with the levers that dropper posts usually include, designed for flat mountain bike handlebars, and also ensuring that the lever is within reach when needed, making it easier to use the dropper post. With the OneUp lever, activating the seatpost is as simple as changing gears.

The OneUp lever is priced at €63.99 and is compatible with the hydraulic single-chainring shifters of the 11-speed Red, Force, and Rival groups.
