CruzTOOLS 'Switchback' Tool Kits for Off-Road and ADV Riding


Seattle, Washington based CruzTOOLS' new Pro-Grade 'Switchback' tool kit has been developed specifically for the woods or for the trail-exploring enduro rider and, in the case of Harley riders, expressly for the Pan America owner.

It's lightweight, at just 1.7 lbs, super compact at 2" x 2" x 7" and is capable of handling most trailside repairs and adjustments. The collapsible T-handle driver makes for fast work turning sockets, hex and torx bits. The kit also includes a 5-in-1 screwdriver, needle nose pliers, mechanics wire, cable ties and a durable zip-up pouch. 




There is one version for KTM/Husqvarna and another for Japanese dirt bikes. This product is ideal for most modern off-road and dual-sport models with options for KTM, Husqvarna, GasGas, and any Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki 250 or 450 cc Enduro of Adventure Tourer - including the Harley-Davidson Pan America.

"This started as a project to build the ultimate trail tool kit for my KTM 350 EXC," says Matt Willson, VP of Product Development. "I wasn't happy with the existing, hard to use multi-tools and I also found generic tool kits to be far too heavy and bulky to store on the bike.

"So, I developed the Switchback to be the best of both worlds. It's compact and lightweight, but has tools that are very functional and easy to use. One of my favorite features is the collapsible T-handle, which offers the speed and utility of a shop tool.


"Just the latest item in our extensive and ever-growing range of tools and kit options, this is a great low-cost retail kit for authorized Harley dealerships and independent stores. Even if your customer doesn't yet own a Harley Pan America, someone they know - maybe a family member - will likely have an off-roader of some kind."
