Why does saddle tilt matter?

Tilting the seat nose-down is scientifically proven to increase efficiency and reduce pain during seated climbs.

Keeping your saddle perpendicular to gravity instead of parallel to the ground is like having a backrest for support so you don't slide off the saddle.

This includes a host of benefits including pain management, reducing fatigue, improved biomechanical efficiency, more power, increased traction, better air intake and more.

Negative saddle tilt will help if you've experienced any of the following when climbing:

  • Fatigue or shortness of breath
  • Pain, discomfort, or numbing in sensitive areas caused by saddle pressure
  • Lower back pain
  • Weakened arms from pulling the bars
  • Loss of power or pedaling efficiency
  • Losing traction (ie. spinning out rear wheel)
  • Front wheel lifting
  • Sliding off the saddle

What Do The Experts Say?

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.
