SwitchGrade - guaranteed to make climbing easier and less painful on the first try.
The way you ride has changed forever. More power, traction, and comfort on every climb. More clearance, control, and confidence for the fastest way down.
Meet the SwitchGrade Pro
Powerful New Features
Climb-it Control™ lets riders customize rotation range and number of positions using independent forward and rear limiters. From 2 positions, 3, 5, 8 or even fully locked out - whatever you want, you got it.
Loc8™ granular indexing with 5 degree steps ensures lightening fast and precise seat angle changes. Grip the lever, place your saddle precisely where you need, and rip it.

Eliminate Pain
Tilting the saddle nose down reduces pressure on the perineum, effectively relieving groin pain and numbing. SwitchGrade also increases lumbar support encouraging a slight anterior pelvic tilt which enables better posture to help eliminate back pain.
Increase Power
SwitchGrade repositions your pelvis for a more efficient hip angle, effectively engaging the glutes and quads while reducing strain on the lower back. This improved alignment boosts muscle recruitment, optimizes breathing capacity, and translates into greater sustained power on climbs.
Climb in Comfort
The SwitchGrade steepens your bike's effective seat tube angle and moves you forward over the bottom bracket. This balances your weight evenly between both wheels increasing traction, enabling smoother pedal strokes, relaxing your upper body, and improving breathing by opening up your diaphragm.

LEVEL UP
We're not talking metaphors here.
It's about keeping your saddle level or 'flat' on the climbs.
Because the steeper it gets, the more it feels like you’re sliding off the back of your saddle.
Your arms fatigue trying to keep you from sliding, your legs burn, and you lose traction.
The SwitchGrade fixes this by keeping your saddle flat and level to gravity so you can generate the most power on every pedal stroke and crush climbs like never before.
The ultimate problem solver
99 PROBLEMS AND YOUR TILT AIN'T ONE
Back pain, groin discomfort, shortness of breath, arm fatigue, slack seat tube angle, wheel lifts, spinouts, sliding back, shorts snagging, short seat tubes...
You'll be surprised at the difference proper saddle angle makes in the right moments.
Problems? Nah.
Let customers speak for us
The UPgrade You and Your Bike Deserve
From ebikes, enduro, gravel, fat bikes, or park, the SwitchGrade will elevate your ride.
We are a consortium of outliers, radical thinkers, dreamers, and doers.
Singularly focused on fringe concepts - think 'radical' before the word wore threadbare.
That journey has begun and we're inviting you along for the ride. Gear up.
Timeline
Aenomaly was formed by the desire to create truly radical innovations for riders. Reverse-engineering, blatent copying, or 'creative circumvention' is not our thing. Instead, we remain focused on releasing new-to-the-world products.
The idea behind the SwitchGrade was born on the fabled slopes of BC's Mt. Fromme - more commonly known as Canada's North Shore. Back when bikes weighed 40 lbs without suspension, full body armour was the norm, purple ano everything was the rule, and cantilever brakes with brake boosters were peak tech. If you have relics from that era, hold onto them with all you've got.
February 1997
Inspiration
Inventor, Noel Dolotallas, sketched an idea after tiring of holding the group up to 'fix' saddle angle before long grinds up the hill. Exploratory research began by interviewing friends, racers, and riders on the trail, and through surveys and discussions online.
October 2016
Concept development
We looked at a variety of details including rotation, ________, and ________ (sorry we can't share some details as they may appear in later versions), seatpost and saddle geometries and much more to understand technical constraints and limitations. We built multiple prototypes and a proof of concept to trail test the idea. In total we built 8 learning prototypes with multiple iterations of each, learning extensively with each try. Focus remained on functionality, user experience and durability - in that order of priority. Aesthetics and industrial design would follow later.

Click heard around the world
Little did we know that an Instagram post shared January 11, 2021 would garner so much attention from media, pro athletes, and interested riders from around the world.
March 2022
SwitchGrade V1 is launched
Growing demand lit the fire and prompted an early, limited release in June 2021 with units shipped in December of the same year followed by the 'official' launch in March 2022, and later nominated for Innovation of the Year by Pinkbike. The SwitchGrade V1 featured 3 positions with 10 degrees forward tilt, neutral, and 12 degrees back tilt for descending.
December 2024
SwitchGrade V2 "EVO" is launched
The version 2.0 SwitchGrade EVO launches with the ability to easily convert between 2 or 3 positions, a new sleeker design, lighter weight, lower price, and a modular compatibility system comprised of adapters and shims opening the floodgates to more dropper posts and seatposts.
December 2025
SwitchGrade PRO is launched
After 2 years of rider-requested features and improvements, we launched the SwitchGrade PRO introducing two ground-breaking technologies: Climb-it Control rotation limiting system, and Loc8 high-density indexing for granular saddle positioning.
