KS Southpaw Remote Lever

While it is specifically engineered for KS dropper posts, the Southpaw is a cable-actuated lever that can work with many other mechanical dropper posts. However, compatibility depends on the cable attachment method of your specific post, so verify that your post uses a standard cable-head-at-the-lever or cable-head-at-the-post configuration.

No, the Southpaw is designed exclusively for 1x drivetrains. Because it mounts in the position where a front shifter would typically sit, it will interfere with front shifting setups.

The Southpaw features a universal handlebar clamp design, meaning it mounts independently to your handlebar rather than integrating directly into your brake lever clamp. This makes it compatible with almost any brake system, provided you have enough space on your bar.

The integrated barrel adjuster allows you to fine-tune your cable tension without needing tools. If your dropper post starts to feel sluggish or doesn't fully return, a quick turn of the adjuster can often resolve the issue by taking up cable slack.

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic cable management. You simply clamp it to your handlebar, route your dropper cable through the lever, and secure it with the set screw, though you will need to trim your cable housing to the correct length for a clean fit.
