I suspect the mtb dropper post used on these Shimano bikes is a bit harsh in comparison to my Endurace post. But it makes perfect sense for their purpose.
If they design a road-specific dropper post with say 50 mm travel which retains the comfort of a fixed carbon post then I’m interested. Having the ability to fine tune saddle height and drop it 50 mm for steep descents would be really useful.
