BENEFITS
Climb easier - Tilting your saddle nose down takes pressure off your legs and lets you pedal smoother uphill.
Ride faster with more power - The right angle helps you push harder on the pedals without wasting energy.
Pedal comfortably - Seat adjustment relieves pressure on sensitive areas, and reduces strain on hips, wrists, and knees.
Pain-free riding - Saddle tilt increases lumbar support and provides better lower back posture. No more hunching over and straining your back.
Breathe easier - Dropping the nose down on climbs opens up your chest and lungs, making it easier to take in more air and keep your legs powered up.
Descend with more control - Tilting back drops the saddle down 30mm for increased clearance, safely stowing the seat away from sensitive body parts while preventing clothing snags.
SwitchGrade Pro saddle adjuster will begin shipping in January 2026. All SwitchGrades are made to order and meticulously hand-assembled one at a time.

SwitchGrade Pro
More saddle angle positions, controlled tilt range, lighter weight, CNC machined to perfection. Introducing the new SwitchGrade Pro.
We have taken years of customer feedback and poured everything we've learned into our top-tier saddle angle technology. Packed with powerful new features, the SwitchGrade Pro will turn as many heads as you do corners.
Customizable from 2 to 8 positions
The Perfect Saddle Angle Everytime
Introducing Loc8™ - a new, exclusive mechanical indexing system providing up to 8 discrete saddle positions separated by 5 degrees.
What’s unique about the Loc8™ system (think locate + lock + 8) is that it allows your saddle to rotate freely while the lever is disengaged, then positively re-index at any position when released – simply drop and lock. The refined granular indexing makes mid-flight adjustments faster and easier by eliminating the need to “hunt” for engagement.
Control rotation limits
User-defined Tilt Range
Climb-it Control™ gives you complete command over your saddle tilt range from complete lockout to 35 degrees.
Fore and aft limiters can be placed anywhere along the arc path to control forward and rearward tilt range.
What Pros Say About the SwitchGrade
Health professionals, coaches, industry luminaries, and pro athletes share their thoughts on the SwitchGrade and its benefits.
“When riding up a steep slope, a traditionally neutral saddle tilt will cause the pelvis to tilt posteriorly. This has a number of implications, both above and below the level of the hip. In addition to over-lengthening and stressing muscles of the lumbar spine, an aggressive posterior pelvic tilt alters the position of the hip joint relative to other structures in the body. This changes the leverage capabilities of the hip and surrounding muscles, particularly in regards to hip extension. Excessive posterior pelvic tilt also has a negative impact upon quadriceps muscle recruitment, and has the potential to affect the degree of terminal knee extension during pedal stroke. What this boils down to is both an uncomfortable and inefficient riding position. A negative saddle tilt, such as that provided by the SwitchGrade, helps mitigate this change in pelvic tilt during steep, seated climbing. concerns of your customers.
”
“After spending a few long days in the saddle with SwitchGrade installed, I can definitely say that the benefits are noticeable. From a biomechanics perspective, the forward tilted position definitely creates a more anteriorly rotated pelvis in the seated position. That's anatomy speak for better lower back posture, and better power transfer during seated, steep climbs. From a shredding perspective, the rearward tilt gives you a noticeably increased standover height over your dropped saddle for full send, downhill procedures. I can't wait to get more time on the bike with Switchgrade aboard.
”
“As a coach who is always looking for ways to help riders feel more comfortable on the bike, I saw immediately how this could keep pressure off their sensitive under-bits for those long steep climbs. After riding on the Switchgrade I was surprised by how much I missed it when riding on my bikes without one. It made my normal saddle position I've been riding for 20yrs feel like it was pointing straight up when climbing. I plan to introduce a lot of new people to the Switchgrade and to make sure all my bikes have one on it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do American customers have to pay tarrifs?
No. SwitchGrades are made in Canada and are fully compliant with USMCA, therefore US citizens are exempt from tariffs.
Does it affect stack height?
Yes, stack height will increase but the actual measurement depends on your dropper post and its reported values. We would advise that you plan for an average 10mm increase in saddle height. Keep in mind, however, that tilting the saddle backwards into Descend mode will provide an additional 30mm of clearance vs. your current setup so, in practice, you will gain more room to maneuver around the saddle.
How much does it weigh?
The SwitchGrade weighs 158 grams excluding installation hardware. Consider, however, that because it replaces your dropper post's stock clamps which typically average 60-70 grams, the net add to your bike is roughly only 100g.
If I change my dropper post will I need to buy another SwitchGrade?
The most likely answer is no. SwitchGrade 2.0 EVO features a modular compatibility system meaning all that's needed is to purchase a new set of shims and/or adapters that match your new dropper or seatpost.
Does it creak or produce any play?
No, you will not find any creaking or play. The SwitchGrade was designed with as few moving parts as possible and engineered to tight tolerances. Listen to what Dr. J MTB has to say about build quality and durability on his SwitchGrade review.
What is your return policy?
If you don't absolutely love your SwitchGrade within 30 days of receipt, simply email us at info@aenomalyconstructs.com to authorize a return and refund. All inquiries must be approved prior to initiating a return. To learn more, read our Return Policy.
Does the SwitchGrade work with all saddles?
SwitchGrades are designed to work with the vast majority of railed saddles with round 7mm rails. If your saddle has oval rails (eg. 7mm x 9mm or 7mm x 10mm) then you will need to purchase Oval Rail Clamps sold separately.
SwitchGrades are designed to allow room for saddle flex. We recommend using a saddle that allows a minimum of 5mm of space between the undercarriage of the saddle and the top of the SwitchGrade. As a result, some saddles may not pair as well with the SwitchGrade as others, especially if they contain obstructions. If you are unsure, send us a photo of your saddle so we can verify fitment.
