SwitchGrade - Blackout
"This device could be a game-changer for many bikes and riders of all types."
"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."
The SwitchGrade is a game-changing new bike component that lets cyclists change their bike's saddle angle and effective seat angle on the fly, without tools! Tilt the back up for more saddle height and a steeper seat angle to crush climbs with greater ease and comfort. Then rotate the saddle out of the way for more clearance and control on descents!
- 3 positions optimized for climbing, descending, and flat/undulating riding
- -10 degree climb position (nose-down saddle)
- 0 degree neutral position (flat saddle)
- +12 degree descend position (nose-up saddle)
- Compatible with most popular two-bolt style seatposts. See full list in the Compatibility Guide
- Low profile design
- Steepens effective seat angle greater than 1 degree in climb setting
- Climb setting provides approx. 20mm additional height and 10mm forward offset
- CNC machined from aerospace grade 7075 T6 and 6061 T6 aluminum
- Includes stainless steel mounting hardware
- Weight: 170 grams

- Important: SwitchGrades will only work with 7mm tubular rails. Currently, they cannot accommodate 9mm rails or oval rails.
- OneUp V2 and V1 dropper posts require replacing the stock air valve caps with custom low-profile air valve caps supplied with all Type 1 orders. We have observed some instances where OneUp V2 and V1 posts may require a simple adjustment to reduce air shaft height.

- All Type 3 orders will also include custom barrel nuts to replace stock nuts.

Perfection at first realese. In my opinion the perfect choose in angle set, no loose, nice design.
Sorry, at the time I can't find out any issue.....oh, no, there is one. I have had the idea but not the gutts to make it real!
Thank you
After months of waiting for a Bike Yoke version I finally got mine and it was worth the wait. Quality is great, how smooth is clicks through positions is better than expected, and overall exactly what I wanted if not exceeded my expectations. I wish it came with black hardware and not silver, but I’m being beyond nit picky at this point. 10/10 will be recommending to all the boys.
A great piece of kit. Makes a big difference on the up’s. There is a little getting used to, but once I did there’s no going back for me.
Changes the way you move around on the bike when descending or climbing, absolutely love it.
love this quality, well-designed gizmo. we will see a lot more of these on the trail.
