Hi Guys, hoping somebody will be able to help me out.

My sons bike frame has a seatpost internal length of 160mm - it's an XS Giant Trance. The seatpost diameter is 30.9.

I am looking for a dropper for him that won't poke too far above the 160mm internal frame seatpost length. This is so that when the seatpost is down he sees the benefit.

The Rockshox Reverb comes 355 total length and I've found a few places where people say the measurement to the colar is 185mm - so given that it will stick up 25mm then there is the collar and clamp that add another 70mm meaning there is 95mm above the clamp.

Then we add 100mm for travel and we are probably ok BUT ideally I'd like it to start shorter so it can be risen up.

So what I am looking for is a dropper with a shorter total length. I'm not worried if it has a remote or saddle grab - the example being the Joplin that looks short and has a smaller collar than the Reverb.
