When you consider how much easier not having to remove a hydraulic hose makes it to send the post off for warranty it's worth the price.
REALLY Bad KS Warranty Experience.

BikeYoke Updates & Extends the Revive Dropper Post - Pinkbike
The BikeYoke Revive 2.0 is available with up to 213mm of travel.www.pinkbike.com
I've had BikeYoke Revive 160mm posts on both my bikes now for about three years. I've run them in ridiculous conditions and only recently rebuilt them. The only problem I had was with one early post where the head developed play where it meets the stanchion and the whole post was replaced under warranty no questions asked. Now the V2.0 is one piece so that can't occur, and they've made reliability upgrades to the most reliable post on the market. Plus, they're offering free updates to anyone with a V1.0 post.
Unfortunately, they aren't available for triple the price just because they have a wireless AXS actuator. Damn.
But in order to get the free parts you have to pay for the dropper service, so it is not really free.
how does the BY revive do in cold weather?BikeYoke Updates & Extends the Revive Dropper Post - Pinkbike

also, their lever looks extremely similar to the e13 TRS remote i have, which is a good thing.
it's like SRAM knew they were going to have to be sent in for warranty en masse.
I've run the Revive thru the dead of winter (below 0 deg F), with no issues. Bringing in the bike from cold to warm - that first lever press is very firm. That's the only quirk I've encountered.
good to know.
To avoid, they said to leave seatpost at least partially down, then when at room temp, release.
I want a 200 revive bad, looks like it would shave 100g over the transfer as well
I'm loving the 185 Revive.
I also have an early fist gen Reverb that has never been serviced that finally went soft. I think I'm the only one on the planet that got the better part of 10 years service out of a reverb without issue. Hell I even ripped the line out of it on a crash one time. That one will probably get sent in for a full rebuild.
Maybe I'm just lucky with dropper posts - er damn, did I just jinx me-self?
