"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
No, its not “affordable”. That’s because its a beautifully machined and finished precision product that makes any adult pelvis feel completely superior after any ride. Add to that the power increase on climbs and the ass bone joy when park riding. fuhgettaboutit.
Quality, looks and operation are top quality. Haven’t had a chance to ride it yet, but have every confidence it will make a big difference in comfort and performance. The type 2 did not fit the 2023 X-fusion manic, pic 1, so I printed a TPU spacer matching the contours needed, dropped the drop tube 1/2" and installed the SwitchGrade. Looking forward the riding as soon as temps here drop below 90.
It's a great innovation definitely improves quality of riding. Just One minor negative thing about the product I received is that the groove meant to clear the airvalve on my dropper post wasn't deep enough to accomodate a dust cap.
Great product!!!! Very unique and definitely worth it.
These are real quality made pieces.
And they works exactly as described. Really helps you in to a comfortable seated position on the climbs and on the downs you will get that DH-bike saddle that is even less out of the way.
