Those who have dropper posts...
How much do you weigh?

I have not found weight limits ( I've searched Fox and Rockshox websites), does anyone know these numbers?

Ive weighed super close to 250 at certain points in my drinking/hotdog/cycling career. My Ks LEV and Specialized Command post help up amazingly!

I ride my bikes super aggressively and have had a few unfortunate mishaps where my nethers contacted the saddle at an extreme rate. Not a peep from the mechanical workings of the posts.

I hover around 225-230 on an x-fusion hilo.  Only been on it for a short while, but there's no issues and it works perfectly.

2 years on a Specialized command post. Varied from 260-220. No issues besides regular rebuilds at home.

Oh, and it's on a hardtail, so it's definitely been hit hard.

200-210 on a Reverb.  It needs maintenance ~ annually, and bleeds every few months.  Especially the first time it gets really cold or really hot.  That's about it.

on a reverb now came from a Ks LEV.  the KS was a looker but, had way more wobble than my current reverb.  It's simple..works..the end.  I weight in at 220 bleed it annually, no issues.
