Anyone with any experience with these? From my web searches it looks like there is sa DTSwiss and Bontrager options with a Fox one on the way (best I can tell it’s not available yet). Anyone use one of these and have any thoughts? Are there options Im overlooking?
I’ve just been looking at this.
I’ve got a dt Swiss L1 lever with fox transfer. S.L. post and the fox lockout shifter and it’s not working. The dropper lever is way too heavy and it’s butchering my thumb. The availability of the 2 in 1 shifters is a problem. I have a Supercaliber and there are no bontrager shifters anywhere.
I’ve ordered the wolf tooth bar centric lever as I think that’s the best solution.
I can’t justify £200 for the fox 2 in 1 shifter
This one came with my Scott Spark. Overall pretty happy with it. I like having the dropper above the bar and the lockout below, rather than having 3 levers below the bar. Unsure about compatibility and pull ratios, but it looks like the lever comes with a few different pull ratios. Bike came with Rockshox Revelation, Fox Nude shock, and a Syncros dropper. I’ve since replaced the dropped with a Fox Transfer and the lever works fine.
I am really happy with the Squidlock from Orbea. Works well and I haven’t had any issues with it.
Long time user of dropper and suspension lockout here. I’ve never used a cable-based system that combines the 2 in a single control, but I did use a rockshox twistloc for suspension and an underbar dropper control for a while. It’s not perfect and the twist loc takes some getting used to, but a decent solution if you want both on the left side.
Another option I used for years was the dropper control on the left and a Scott twin loc on the right flipped upside down above the bar.
So, neither of those are “combo” solutions in a single remote, but I found them to work well.
A true single control solution is wireless. With an AXS dropper and Flight attendant suspension, you just have a 2 button pod and no cables. Super clean and functionally great, but not a great path to solve the remote challenge if you aren’t already going in that direction.

This^^ for sure. I ran one for years on my EE7 and I think it’s the simplest, cleanest, and readily available solution for this.
