"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
Gravel bike enthusiasts here. I kept getting the ads for this product on my Instagram feed. I thought why not and bought a unit for my Bombtrack Beyond+. I live in a place where you’re always climbing hills. Definitely easier on my man bits and lower back! I paired it with the PNW coast dropper post and a mini Ortlieb saddle pack, surprisingly it all works together!
I would be really interested in a Gravel Bike version that tilts the full forward position, half position between that and the full flat and one position back. Kind of the reciprocal if you will.
The unit is light weight and there is no noticeable weight penalty I can notice.
My only gripe is the front barrel fastener was a bugger to seat in the slot.
PS I have zero MTB skills :)
This thing is amazing make the climbs so much more comfortable and there is no messing around with screws to move the saddle away for the downs.
Well constructed and the personalised colour options are a real bonus. Very happy with the product, recommended.
Bought 2 of them at the Same Time, one in Silver and one in Black.
Honestly, i would Pay 300 for it and still would be happy.
Its such a big improvement when climbing, its like cheating :D
„Downhill“ Mode is also so nice, didnt hit my nuts anymore when driving steep sections :D
I‘m gonna buy this „Awesomegrade“ for every of my bikes in the future.
Simply Genius, Noel would deserve the Innovation Award for that for sure !
Thank you Noel for this piece of Art ! 🙏
Cheers fein Germany :)
I'd love to see this with a few less degrees on the angle changes. For me the climbing position is uncomfortable unless the trail climb is REALLY steep, like over 16%. As it is I have to run the saddle "nose down" in the trail position so it's not too tail-high in the climb position.
