Installation was quick and easy with all the needed parts in the kit.
Seems gadgety but then my spouse got one and raved about it. So I got one and also love it! It does what it says it'll do and it's solid. I worried about movement, squeaks and none of that is found here. Crotch numbness be gone on long uphill slogs!
This is one upgrade that’s worth the money and makes an immediate difference in your riding. I’ve got a larger enduro bike with geometry that’s better suited for descending, and this component helps in the climbing department. Climbing position changes your body position and mechanics to improve leverage when pedaling, putting your body forward back on top of your pedals / same effect as standing up when climbing steep inclines, but you’re still seated! Kicks back for long descents. Construction is rock solid, no jiggling.
I didn't think I needed the switchgrade until i installed it on my Specialized Epic Evo. It makes climbing easier as I don't exert as much energy when climbing and it's more comfortable. Installation was a breeze but make sure to use loctite as my rear bolt loosened without it and also be mindful that your saddle height will be higher. The craftsmanship on the switchgrade is superb and I love the click noise whenever making the switch. I highly recommend this and wish I could have gotten it sooner!
I was very sceptical on purching this item but I've always had a sore back/butt during long days in the saddle, so far this has eliminated that pain and I find myself with more traction on techy climbs! I feel as though I am putting in more power too! And it looks so good too!
After receiving my order, I assembled my device. It went together very easily. It's exactly what I expected. It's really good work. The piece is magnificent, beautiful work.
Thank you very much.
This is a great upgrade for your bike. Climbing is more comfortable and when descending, you can get the seat out of the way. Love it.
great attention to customer satisfaction!
thx
The Switchgrade is well engineered with great online install instructions. The locking mechanism is smooth in operation. I look forward to more saddle time as the weather warms up.
Absolutely amazing, helps on the climb so much and has practically eliminated back pain while riding, while allowing a downhill-like seat setup for the descent. Recommend for everyone. Super worth it
I’ve always struggled with numbness and discomfort on long climbs. I’ve tried a number of seats and while they helped a bit, the drop seat angle helps the most of anything I’ve tried. It moved the pressure back a bit which is great. Wish I would have pulled the trigger earlier.
For the climb is perfect!! Everything changes, your posture, the muscles you use, a better and organic posture, no more pain and more power
Honestly can’t comment because it does not work with my chosen saddle from Bike Yolk ( Sagma). I have the V1 on my enduro bike which works brilliantly but sadly the V2 does not work with my hardtail and saddle…..
I bought two weeks ago my 4th switchgrade, but was the first type 4 and I was really happy, that the bolts for the fastening screws are „trapped“. It makes the installation much more comfortable.
A darn fine product I will state, 'the best' out there. I have the SwitchGrade 1.0 on my Titan racing hardtail and what a difference it makes. And the newer SwitchGrade 2.0 is on my GT Fury downhill, seems I cannot do without these fine Aenomalies. Thinking of one for my triathlon bike now. Love your product. Rod.M
Free watts on climbs, your fork actually works on climbs, no more slightly dropping the dropper on techy climbs, no more back pain, get the seat fully out of your way on downhills. Most innovative product the bike industry has seen for a while. Originally ordered one of the clones from AliExpress and loved the concept from the start. The tolerances on those is not quite up to par and they have friction in their mechanism, making them hard to adjust on the fly. That however was a great ad for Aenomaly as I returned the AliExpress clones and decided to go with the real thing since the prices have been steadily dropping. Price is still a little high in my view, but it’s getting closer to the sub $150 zone I think this product should be, again comparing it to dropper posts. 5 stars despite that because this truly is as game changing as a dropper post. Will not ever have a bike without a (real) Switchgrade on it again.
Easy installment even with basic skills.
Saddle rail fixation is absolutely awesome. Every seat post needs to have this design.
Operation is simple and intuitive. Actuation lever could be half an inch longer to easier operate it with the pointy finger while moving saddle with the thumb.
Most forward and down position is great to decrease pressure while sitting in any situation.
Would like to have information on customs tariffs while buying. At least roughly tariffs.
Actuation would make sense with an electrical servomotor. Would make a great combo on an cabelless dropper post lile Rock Shox Reverb AXS. Design it. Patent it. Sell it to SRAM. Never work again.
I was looking forward to not going numb during hour-long steep climbs, but I didn't expect the improved traction and ease during steep technical section. This rig is great!
I got the switch grade as a Christmas present. The instruction are easy to follow and even tell you what sizes you need. After riding with it for a couple rides im really liking it. Might still be a little exhausted at the top
Of a climb but there is less pain
Needed an adapter as I had a new Fox dropper due to a warranty replacement. Works as described.
The quality and build of this item is very high, the manufacture, fitment and the workings of it is very precise. The company says its a game changer and that it is, with a big plus. I was so impressed that I placed an order for a 2 position, for my hardtail. I can hardly wait for you to think up a new innovation. Thanking you, Rod Mallett
