As the latest addition to the MXEdge family, the MXEdge Switch has been meticulously designed to bring portable, performance-driven innovation to climbers everywhere. Building on the legacy of the original MXEdge Lift, this board introduces a compact, switchable edge system engineered for versatility, durability, comfort and real results.

The MXEdge DNA: Why It’s Different

Our MXEdge concept emerged from a desire to optimise every variable in fingerboard training: edge depth, curve geometry, front/back radius, material, surface texture, and more. What started as the famous 20 mm rounded testing edge (sporting a 10 mm front radius for consistent engagement) evolved into a parametric 3D-designed compound curve edge after extensive athlete and coach input.

We didn’t stop at flat or unlevel edges. Instead, we developed a compound-curvature geometry, one that’s been repeatedly optimised via workshops, ergonomic testing, and athlete feedback for maximum comfort and reliability. The result: smoother transitions, even loading across fingers, and a remarkably natural feel.

Collaborative R&D: Your Trust Matters

Our innovation journey has been open, collaborative, and grounded in expertise:

• In-house PhD-led literature review (Cam Hartley) explored biomechanics, injury patterns, finger strength quantification, and ergonomic criteria.
  
• Coach & athlete workshops helped balance variables and nail down what “comfort and performance” mean in the real world .
  
• We consulted industry experts physios, healthcare specialists, and strength trainers, to align our design with real needs both in rehab and high-performance settings. 

From the basic 20 mm test rung to the precision-engineering of the MXEdge family, our design philosophy embraces transparency and collaboration. Whether it’s consulting with climbing legends like Will Bosi or working with coaches and physios, shared expertise is why we believe we’re consistently delivering the best training tools on the market.
