"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
I am happy to have installed this accessory on my e-mtb which in my opinion is of great help both on climbs and descents.
Installation is very simple, clear assembly instructions, quality material, the device is very simple to operate, the cost is a little high but in my opinion it's worth it, it's a shame that I had to pay 35 euros at customs, I will definitely give good publicity to this small company.
As someone who spends significant time climbing in the saddle, the SwitchGrade is an obvious solution to address comfort. The build is high quality and while I only have a few sustained climbs with it, the SwitchGrade has delivered as expected. I look forward to longer testing and improved comfort on climbs. I don't expect to ride with it in the tilted back position as I stand on the descents.
Ich konnte es leider noch nicht viel testen nur zwei kleine Runden aber es funktioniert einwandfrei und es scheint als wenn die verschiedenen Winkel echt gut gewählt wurden.
Load of comments on MTB forums asked why did I bother… when you suffer the pain of riding uphill then this gem removes the problem clever solution you need one
Un buon sistema per la salita. Costruito molto bene, preciso nelle rifiniture. Poco utile in discesa perché la posizione del raider è quasi sempre in piedi per cui avere la sella alzata potrebbe essere anche di fastidio. Sarebbe meglio specificare che ci sono tasse doganali da pagare, almeno per l’Italia, al momento della consegna dato il prezzo già alto del pezzo in questione.
