The Transfer is available in two builds: the Factory high-end model and the Performance. The Factory build features Kashima coating while the Performance has a black anodized finish. Along with the two builds, there are three drop options to choose from: 100-cm, 125-cm and 150-cm. The travel can be easily adjusted by the Transfers lever.

The Transfer has two remote options to choose from. You can install the lever on the left side below the bar instead of a front shifter with the 1X lever. Alternatively you can install the 2X/3X lever on the grips on either side of the bar. The lever is designed so that actuation pressure can be adjusted with the saddle weighted or unweighted to prepare for those big drops and technical sections. The low lever force makes it easy to modulate return speed and to make small height adjustments on the fly. The seat post uses a nitrogen-spring.
