🚨 A REAL revolution in cycling has arrived! 🔥
Meet the vabsRider — the world’s first bicycle seat with a Virtual Axis (Virtual Axis Bicycle Seat).
Instead of a traditional rigid saddle, it features two completely independent parts that naturally follow the movement of your legs, thanks to a virtual axis perfectly aligned with your hips.
The result?
It shifts pressure from your sit bones to your femurs, reducing pressure by up to 80% compared to a classic saddle (according to their pressure mapping studies).
Say goodbye to numbness, pain, and discomfort — even on long rides.
This saddle makes cycling comfortable and accessible to way more people: daily commuters, e-bike riders, weekend warriors, and serious cyclists alike.
Developed over 8 years by engineer Robin Macan and industrial designer Philippe Guichard (ataraxyBSC – Australia), it’s already been chosen by Olympic champion Anna Meares and won Gold at the Good Design Awards 2024. Their Kickstarter campaign was a massive success.
The design is so good you’ll want to try it immediately… and once you sit on it, you truly understand the slogan: “Instantly Change”.
Serious question:
Have you ever tried an innovative saddle like this?
Do you think this kind of innovation can actually change cycling for the everyday rider?
