Wolf Tooth ReMote BarCentric

The Wolf Tooth ReMote BarCentric is a dropper lever for the cockpit that has run out of room. If your left side already carries a front shifter, a suspension lockout or under-bar e-bike controls, this is the lever designed to fit anyway. It needs 15mm of handlebar space, slides in between the grip and your existing levers, and offers four positions to clear whatever is already there.

The shape is what makes it work. A ring encircles the handlebar on a large sealed Enduro ball bearing, and that ring doubles as the pivot, so pressing the lever gives you more leverage than a conventional perch would. Cable routing flows around the disc brake lever rather than fighting it, and reach is adjustable to set ergonomics and clearance. It is 6061-T6 aluminium, 41g, and patented in the US.

On compatibility, it works with most cable-actuated dropper posts, including both cable orientations, with the barrel end at the remote or at the post. It fits any 22.2mm mountain bike handlebar and can be rotated to suit. Two things are not covered: cable and housing are sold separately, and it is not compatible with the Fox Transfer SL.
