The Killswitch Lets Mountain Bikers Enjoy Optimum Suspension

— June 28, 2017 — Autos

This suspension-locking tool automatically locks our your mountain bike's shock when you're riding uphill, before autonomously releasing the spring when it's time to go back downhill or ride on flat terrain.

The big advantage with the Killswitch suspension-locking gadget is its ability to take suspension settings out of mountain bikers' minds when they're conquering hills, enabling them to focus on their pedaling and balance. Currently available for a $95 pledge over on Kickstarter, the Killswitch is an excellent purchase for mountain bikers looking to optimize their performance on hilly terrain.

3. Performance Optimization Tools - The trend of performance optimization tools, like the Killswitch suspension-locking gadget, helps mountain bikers focus on their pedaling and balance by eliminating the need to manually adjust suspension settings.
Industry Implications
