Pro is Shimano’s component brand whose mission is (in part) to deliver reliable, innovative products that offer a good value to consumers. The handlebars, stems, and seatposts in the Pro line are rarely flashy, but they tend to be incredibly refined and solid items that should last a long time. I’ve been testing the Pro Koryak dropper post on my Orange P7 hardtail over the past couple of months, and I can confirm that this dropper post lives up to the Pro label.
