We believe that in order to fully realize a person's potential, their environment needs to be customized to them.

Mass production got us pretty far till now, but, sometimes, not far enough. Our goal is mass customization.

Saddle-making is one step to meeting our goal: it illuminates key aspects of mass customization. We gather feedback and experiences from cyclists, and translate them into corresponding user options and design algorithms. With the availability of cloud computing resources and the well-connected world that is the Internet, we can scale easily and have everyone benefit from this feedback.

We create body-customized general purpose (including e-bike and stationary), road and triathlon/time-trial bicycle saddles based on your anatomy's imprint.

Design centered around your anatomy ensuring fit.

You have a medical condition requiring an asymmetric saddle.

····••••····

You need expedited processing.

Our saddles are customized not in the sense that we make whatever is requested for, but that each is made to fit a specific rider's anatomy.

····••••····

We do not modify our saddles based on how they are installed by riders. It is the other way round: it is the riders' responsibility to ensure that our saddles are installed and used according to our instructions in order for them to function as designed.

····••••····

We neither design nor test our road and triathlon/TT saddles for off-road applications, including and not restricted to mountain-biking and gravel-riding. Usage in such scenarios will void warranty. For off-road applications, please use our general-purpose saddles which have elastic shells.

····••••····

We do not have a "no questions asked" replacement policy. If an issue is encountered, we will always gather information via questions and photos. These help us troubleshoot and determine the root cause(s). We are aware that a small number of riders regularly get their equipment replaced without charge and questions at their local bike shops, at the expense of the other / majority riders. We do not support such unfair behavior.

····••••····

We do not provide personal concierge services. We do not have dedicated engineering staff sitting beside the phone waiting to answer questions. If you need someone on the phone 24/7 and emailing us is out of the question, then the service we provide is not a good fit for you.
