The brief for the Switch 7 was to produce our fastest enduro race bike ever, to take everything we already knew with the addition of feedback from supported EWS racers and the newly established factory racing program and combine that to make a bike that's even more capable of competing at the sharp end of races on the toughest tracks in the world.
We've pulled out all the stops and created one of the most feature packed bikes we've ever built...
MBR October 2022:
"On paper, the Orange Switch 7 looks like a beast of a bike. The wheelbase is longer than most downhill rigs, it actually has 175mm of rear-wheel travel and comes stock with a pedal-catching BB height and super-slack 63° head angle. Don’t let the numbers fool you, however, as the Switch 7 is more of a gentle giant.
The weight distribution on this MX bike is perfectly balanced, so you always feel composed and ready to attack the trail. It’s fast everywhere too, so for a bike with such extreme numbers it’s way more versatile than you ever could have imagined."
