When you’re ready for a group ride, just pop off the aero bars and click the seat-post back for traditional road riding.Ĭheck out the Switch Aero System’s Kickstarter to get the first run of the design, priced at $225. Meanwhile, the dual-position seat-post moves the saddle slightly up and forward into an aero position to allow for optimal triathlon riding conditions-with a fuller leg extension and wider hip opening. Redshift’s aero bars are the first of its kind in the industry, featuring patent-pending, entirely adjustable arm-pads and bars. The Switch Aero System utilizes just two pieces to completely alter a bike’s geometry aero bars attach to the original handlebars using a quick-release clamp similar those found on many bicycle hubs. The design of the system is simple, yet expertly executed. PHILADELPHIA, PA (BRAIN) With the launch of a new Kickstarter campaign, Redshift Sports unveiled its Switch Aero System designed to help cyclists get the most out of their road bikes. “We wanted something we could switch back and forth easily.” This innovative design means riders can easily switch between sports without committing to a new bike. “All of the other products on the market for modifying traditional geometry to aero meant we had to abandon our original road setup,” says co-founder Erik de Brun.
