Switchback FS Ti
Switchback FS Ti
THIS IS EVERYTHING WE KNOW, EVERYTHING WE STAND FOR—BUILT SO YOU CAN RIDE HOWEVER YOU WANT, WHEREVER YOU WANT.
The Switchback FS Ti takes everything we love about the Switch9er FS Ti and refines it for the 27.5" wheel platform. Designed to be ridden your way, it can be set up as a full 27.5" or a mullet with a 29" up front and 27.5" at the rear.
With 140mm of rear travel, this bike is built for those who want a responsive, agile ride with the same precision engineering and dialed geometry that makes every Stanton a dream to ride. Whether you're hitting fast, flowy trails or getting rowdy on the steeps, the Switchback FS Ti delivers confidence, control, and a whole lot of fun.
TWO PIVOTS ARE BETTER THAN ONE
Our dual-pivot design is built for efficiency and control. The upper link is positioned at the junction between the top tube and seat tube, eliminating lateral flex and preventing side load on the shock—ensuring smooth, consistent performance.
With a high anti-squat value, every pedal stroke drives the rear wheel into the ground, boosting traction and climbing efficiency. The rear wheel moves backward before rising over obstacles, improving bump absorption and stability.
A smooth kinematic curve (2:45 to 1:55) delivers plush sensitivity early in the travel while ramping up for bottomless support on big hits. Whether you choose an air or coil shock, the system minimizes stress and heat buildup, so you stay in control no matter how hard you push it.
With 140mm rear and 160mm front travel, the Switchback FS Ti balances agility, stability, and playfulness—ready for whatever the trail throws at you.

Watch the filmLESS FLEX = MORE FORWARDS
The Switchback FS Ti is built for pure efficiency—delivering instant acceleration and a sharp, responsive ride.
Its triple-butted titanium front triangle maximizes lateral stiffness with minimal weight, while the one-piece carbon rear, developed with F1 carbon composite professionals, keeps things ultra-light and razor-sharp. At just 650g, it saves 750g over the alloy version, improving power transfer, Q-factor clearance, and tire space for up to 2.5-inch rubber.
Holding it all together is ‘The Egg’—our CNC-machined titanium bottom bracket and pivot point, engineered for ultimate stiffness.
Every detail is designed for speed, control, and an unfiltered connection to the trail.
