Seatposts

3 ergonomic positions optimized for climbing, descending, and undulating terrain: -10 degree forward, 0 degree mid setting, 12 degree rear position. Haptic feedback provides positive engagement for fast no-look changes on the fly, no tools. >1 degree change in effective seat angle. 20mm adjustable effective reach. Machined from 7075 T6 and 6061 T6 aluminum. Dimensions: 10cm (L) x 5.5cm (W) x 4cm (H). Weight: 170g (actual net change approx. 100-120 grams because SwitchGrade replaces stock rail clamps which average 60-70 grams). Compatible with a wide range of market leading seatposts and saddles (saddles must have 7mm rails). See Compatibility Guide. Designed and tested on the North Shore. Made in Whistler, BC, Canada.  Patent Pending.   Climb-It Shift (TM) - 3 Indexed Positions Optimized for Climbing, Descending, and Level Grades Choose among 3 "macro" positions that can be fine-tuned using stock 2 bolt system. -10° for climbing, 12° for descending, and a neutral mid-position for flat or undulating terrain and moderate grades. Compatible with Most Popular OEM and Aftermarket 2 bolt-style Seatposts Proprietary scallop technology and long oval-shaped fastener holes provide compatibility with a vast array of fixed and dropper seatposts. Positive Engagement and Audible Locking Mechanism Tactile and snappy locking feedback and a loud 'click' signify engagement. Translation? Confidence to know when you've shifted into the right setting for the getting. Low Profile Design Compact size means increased compatibility with modern saddles, including those with deep, pressure-relieving channels. >1° change in Effective Seat Angle Switching from Level mode to Climb Mode effectively moves your bike saddle forward approximately half an inch which in turn effectively steepens your seat angle. Results may vary depending on drop post length and saddle design. Built Strong CNC machined from aerospace grade 7075 T6 and 6061 T6 aluminum and built to withstand rough play. Ambidextrous Design Choice to run SwitchGrades with lever forward (under saddle nose) or rearward (under saddle 'butt') based on preference. Finger-friendly Lever Grips Ample and well-spaced lever extrusions provide a positive feel and stable grip even in the most wet and muddy conditions (here's looking at you North America PNW and UK). Air Valve Compatible SwitchGrades feature a unique channel cut into the arc bearing surface to allow space for an air valve. This is particularly useful for certain brands/models such as the OneUp Components V2 and V1 dropper seatposts. Light Weight Design Weighing just a 170 grams, the SwitchGrade adds a net gain of approximately 100 grams because it replaces your seatpost's standard rail clamps (usually weighing around 55 - 70 grams depending on seatpost model). Compatible with Most Bike Saddles with 7mm Tubular Rails The SwitchGrade's low profile allows it to function flawlessly with most saddles, even short stack DH saddles. In some rare cases there may be contact with the saddle undercarriage. Note: SwitchGrades will not work with 9mm tubular rails or oval rails. * subject to change Climb Mode Locking the SwitchGrade into climb mode yields an approx. >1° change in effective seat angle and lift of 20mm. This is equivalent to adjusting the saddle forward on the rails or using an offset posthead but with the additional benefit of providing posterior support to prevent sliding off the saddle thus minimizing arm, leg, and core muscle fatigue. This ideal saddle position for climbing effectively shifts a rider’s center of mass forward to help keep the front wheel down while simultaneously increasing rear wheel traction. Unlock the Full Potential of your Dropper Seatpost Saddle Tilt and Saddle Height combine to form a powerful one-two punch against gravity and rolling resistance. "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." - Steve Jones, EMBN Keep your front wheel down and boost rear wheel traction to climb with greater ease and efficiency. Sounds like magic right? Sort of. Using a SwitchGrade naturally positions your center of mass forward and over the bottom bracket which effortlessly adds weight to the front wheel. And because your saddle nose is tilted down, the rear acts as an anchor preventing you from sliding off the back while providing you with chain-crushing leverage to spin up gradients an Ibex would be envious of. Don't let your saddle get in the way of some downtime. Lowering your bike saddle is one thing, but having the ability to tilt it out of the way opens up a world of difference when rolling into gnarly tech lines, steep chutes, and sandpaper slabs. There's a real reason
