【Bicycle Lover Writer Attention】Surprising Sensation of Floating! A Special Saddle That Absorbs and Distributes Shock from the Road

The author, a bicycle enthusiast, often has opportunities for long rides, but as cycling time increases, the pain in my rear gradually sets in… With the shock-absorbing floating saddle "Air Seat 1," it seems like I can enjoy a comfortable ride from the moment I sit down until I reach my destination.

Distributing the load with a large ergonomic seat!

The new sensation saddle "Air Seat 1," attracted by the catchy phrase "floating saddle." Its core idea is a unique concept called AFT (Air seat Full-Floating Technology). The vibrations of a bicycle are not only vertical but also involve complex mixing of forward and backward movements. Focusing on that motion, independent suspension mechanisms have been incorporated both front and rear.

At the front, a front spring is placed for easier adaptation to changes in posture. At the rear, a damping structure made of a steel alloy rocker arm is used. By coordinating these two, the shock energy from the road surface is dispersed, achieving stable responsiveness between the saddle and the frame. The design also takes into account high-frequency micro-vibrations.

The seat surface is designed with an ergonomic shape based on human engineering. The large design with a width of 200mm ensures a solid contact area and a structure that minimizes the concentration of load at a single point. The surface is made of non-slip leather, providing a stable grip. It seems to enable easier focus on pedaling and handling. The functional beauty of precisely crafted parts and hand-finished leather is also appealing.
