SWITCH Kaleido 2.0 and Pulse: two knobs, two ways to feel the trail

Kaleido 2.0 and Pulse from Switch Components: two MTB grips designed for comfort or aggressive grip. Find the one that best suits your style.

Pulse and Kaleido 2.0 grips for bikes, ideal for a different feel on the trail.
Kaleido 2.0 vs. Pulse grips, two options for improved feel and control on the trail.

When it comes to control on a mountain bike, it all starts with your hands. The contact point with the handlebars is crucial for conveying safety, precision, and sensitivity on any type of terrain.

With Kalido 2.0 e PressSwitch Components offers two grips designed to interpret different riding styles, but united by the same goal: improving the feeling between rider and bike.

Kaleido 2.0: more comfort, same control

Evolution of the original Kaleido, the Kalido 2.0 introduces an even softer compound combined with a partially hollowed-out plastic inner core.
This solution allows the rubber to work more in the support areas, increasing comfort and sensitivity without compromising the stability guaranteed by the Lock-On system.

The result is a more natural grip, capable of filtering vibrations and improving control even on the longest and most technical outings.

Pulse: the grip comes from the shape

If Kaleido 2.0 focuses on the compound, Press puts the shape at the center.

Its raised line fits between the phalanges, creating a real anchor point for the hand. This design:

  • increases grip
  • reduces slippage
  • limits unwanted rotations

A solution designed for those who love a more aggressive ride and want maximum control on the most challenging sections.

Two philosophies, one goal

Advanced comfort or structural grip?
The choice depends on your driving style.

Switch Components offers two different approaches, but with the same mission: to make you feel the trail more directly, precisely and safely.
