My Spot bike came with a Bike Yoke Revive dropper post. It has worked without issue for 150 hours of riding now. Every so often, especially when it has hung on the wall for a while unloved, it sags a bit under my weight when sat upon. Like the last ride.
But the lever for purging the air out is attached to the seatpost head and comes with you - every ride. Unlike the Vent Valve on my Reverbs, which require removal of the post from the bike, I pulled over, flicked the lever, slowly lowered the post and - voila - the post was purged of air and back to rock-solid immediately. (Sometimes I have to do it twice.)

I like the Reverb. I particularly like the hydraulic actuation of the manual post compared to cable and I really like the wireless actuation of the AXS version - no cables are the best cables. But the Bike Yoke post is excellent. Overhaul is supposed to be simple too, but I haven't felt the need to try yet.
