"This device could be a game-changer for many bikes and riders of all types."
"I ride with multiple folks for whom this could be the best upgrade to their riding experience since the dropper post."
"One seat position isn't actually the optimum position most of the time… sometimes on the super steep climbs you've got to get your weight right over the front and at the same time keep some pressure on the saddle so I think this is a really cool idea."
"All body types will benefit from the improved ergonomics when climbing and feel less vulnerable with a seat in a friendly, positive angle while descending."
"Absolutely genius!"
Customer Reviews
The SwitchGrade is beautifully made and works perfectly. It helps climbing and decending alot. Although the -10 degrees climbing position feels a bit "too much". I'ld think a -6 degrees would be enough and with that I guess I would use the climbing position more often
Ce support de selle est super, je peut enfin des grosses côtes sans que le velo ce cabre, on peut choisir sa trace et profiter de la motricité. L'essayer, c'est l'adopter
Went out on my first ride with the Switchgrade today. Climbing is much more easier, efficient and less tired at the end of my ride. I hope that it lasts for years to come.
I never knew I needed it until I started using it.
This kit is very helpful, you need to get used it to it cause at first time use, you will have to stop and switch to climbing and then at the top stop and then switch to down seat position. After a few rides though, I got used to it switching on a fly from climbing to going down without stopping. It’s hard to ride without it!
