You still need to back off the clamp bolt, but once that's done you turn the second bolt to make angle adjustments before locking everything back down. Instead of depending on just the single bolt that clamps the seat's rails to also hold the angle, there's a second, locking bolt that's used to adjust tilt. Thank God it isn't, though, because those terrible things are just terrible. Along with that came a new way to make seat angle adjustments.Īll of that computer stuff, along with the electric motor and gearbox, required RockShox to ditch the proven twin-opposing bolt head design for something that looks like a single-bolt setup at first glance. The Reverb AXS' electronics required a complete re-design of the head to fit everything inside. Not gonna lie, I bet a lot of people would have liked this feature on their older Reverbs, too.
You might have to do it a couple of times, but it takes all of a minute or two and the Reverb goes back to being rock solid under your ass. If that sounds similar to what BikeYoke has going on inside their Revive post, that's because it is, only RockShox uses an IFP to keep the air and oil separated, and BikeYoke does not. All you have to do is flip the post upside down, depress the stiff Vent Valve button (that is also the top of the air valve) with your thumb, and then compress the post while a friend activates the remote. Vent Valve is the answer, RockShox says, and it's essentially a built-in way to push the air out of the system without having to bleed the thing. The fix is to bleed the post's hydraulic system, a daunting job for the average rider that's far beyond doing the same to the remote.
The oil port sits hidden inside the white section. But from the top of the stanchion up, things are drastically different. That means it's still a twin-tube layout, and there's still an internal floating piston (IFP) that separates the air and oil, albeit an updated one to go along with improved oil and grease. Think of it this way: with the notable exception of the Vent Valve (more on that later), the Reverb AXS remains largely the same as its forebearer from the stanchion down. My boss wants to yell at me daily for not understanding or using Google Docs (ugh, they're my personal TPS Reports), but even I figured out how the AXS app works pretty quickly.

Want the Reverb remote to act as a shifter and one of the "touch points" on the right-hand remote to operate your seatpost? That takes all of about thirty seconds using the free AXS app that's available for iOS and Android devices. The AXS app lets you choose which button controls what, from the shifter to the Reverb remote. You need to press that small button on the back of the remote to pair your Reverb AXS, something that also keeps ''friends'' from messing with your bike.
