Your Ride, Your Style
Switchblade performance now comes with a fresh way to make it your own. Four exclusive decal kits, Stranger in the Night, Cotton Candy, Laffee Taffee, and Starry Night, are available on complete builds with the graphics professionally pre-installed. You get the same beloved Switchblade ride feel with a distinct visual edge, at no added cost. These special edition kits are only offered on complete bikes and will not be sold separately.
Do Everything, And Do It Better
The new Switchblade has a slacker head angle, steeper seat angle, increased reach and a longer wheelbase than its predecessor. Size-specific chainstays are tucked in and responsive but grow incrementally longer on larger frames. This translates to added stability at warp speeds while still maintaining the snap and pop that is ingrained in the Switchblade's DNA.
From Trail To Park
The new Switchblade is light enough to pedal all day, but stout enough to run a FOX 38 without any worries. You can spin this rig up into the jagged high places, and it is burly enough, composed enough, planted enough and smooth enough to smash every line all the way back down, laughing the whole way.
Hail The Evolution
The latest iteration of this legendary machine features an incredibly refined dw-link™ suspension that stitches together the pedaling response and agility of the Trail 429 with the battle-hardened, EWS-proven, big terrain suspension and handling chops of the Firebird.

This cutting-edge system enhances your ride by automatically adjusting for both efficiency and control, so you can focus on pushing your limits.
