Specialized Command Post IRCC Review

The newest version of the Specialized Command Post is the IRCC. The IR refers to the internal routing and the CC is the addition of 10 incremental “cruiser control” positions that become available once lowering the post by 30mm. On the 125mm post we tested, the top 30mm are non-indexed and below that the Cruiser Control increments kick in for 45mm. The last 50mm are non-indexed again so the post is either run fully dropped or in the ‘middle” position 50mm up. More simply, this post attempts to incorporate the predictable saddle stops of a multi-position dropper into a seatpost that functions more like an infinitely adjustable dropper. While most testers agreed that this version is an improvement over the 3-position IR model, odd indexing intervals had it falling short of other infinitely adjustable models. The unit comes with two remotes; the awesome SLR remote is unmatched and perfect if you run a 1x drivetrain. For those with a front shifter there’s a vertically actuated remote. If you’re set on a multiposition dropper, the SLR remote alone would place this above the Fox D.O.S.S on our shopping list. The rapid saddle return rate had some testers singing its praises, while others were left singing soprano.
