Bike Saddle

This bicycle saddle uses exclusively recycled materials, integrating liquid carbon components such as the shell, Pebax foam cushioning, and composite rail systems. The project required extensive material sourcing and compatibility testing to ensure all recycled components would perform effectively together as a unified saddle system.

The finished saddle underwent comprehensive cyclic testing to validate its durability and performance under repeated use conditions. These tests simulated extended riding scenarios to assess wear patterns, structural integrity, and comfort retention over time. Additional material-specific testing verified the performance characteristics of each recycled component within the overall saddle construction.

The End-to-End process spanned from initial sustainable material research through prototyping phases to final mass production and assembly lines. The entire project was built around a codesign approach, where client and development teams worked collaboratively at every stage to ensure both sustainability goals and performance requirements were met before proceeding to each subsequent phase.
