Switchblade 2019
3-CAM PERFORMANCE FREERACE
New curves have been worked into the Switchblade 2019 to fundamentally improve performance over the successful 2018 design. Updated luff curves and modified vertical and horizontal shaping combine to take Switchblade performance a step further. Renowned for having the widest range of its class, the Switchblade transforms from low-end powerhouse into a top-end racing weapon thanks to its broad tuning band. "Peak performance for all," declared the Planchemag 2018 Switchblade test headline.
