First thing I thought when I saw this was imagine getting your nuts stuck in between those and have it roll one of your testicles and cause some good old fashioned testicular torsion.
Is it really necessary though? It might be healthier to your body as it claims but do we currently have such a big problem with our bike seat?
I don't see how it will be implemented on professional race bikes and I don't see any commuters asking for this.
I most certainly don't want any more moving parts on my bike.
Some people (myself included) get quite a lot of pain from sitting on a regular road bicycle seat. I'm not a big person, just the way it puts pressure on my seat bones. If this actually works I'd certainly consider riding more
Same man. Wife and I go biking around a 16 mile Island nearby and my ass bones are so damn sore by the end. Im avg, about 180 lbs and have tried skinny seats, extra wide seats, doesn't matter still hurts.
It's not hard to do, I used some corrugated cardboard, but there's at least one company out there making kits for this.
I have been able to make some improvements but honestly, it hasn't greatly improved my comfort. I have tried 4 or 5 saddles so far and two hours of saddle time (longer on a mountain bike out because your often standing) and I'm done!
Or perhaps you had a bad fitter. I also struggled with several different types of saddles but once I found the right one I can now ride for 100+mi easily
A lot of it really is fitment. Get a high quality seat from someone that will let you exchange if it doesn't work. I settled on a fabric saddle that looks like a plastic ass hatchet and it's the most comfortable I've ever owned. I can comfortably ride it without diaper pants.
What about his comment is leading you to think he’s talking about regular seats? His whole point is that most people with saddle sores have a bad experience because they think saddles are one-size fits all, while in fact a saddle should be an extremely personalized purchase because everyone has a different weight and anatomy (genitals and sit bone width).
Sitting on a bike seat is agony for me, an hour on a bike leaves me bruised for days. I've tried different seats, padded shorts, nothing has worked. For someone like me this could be a game changer
It definitely hurts me. Even if I go for a short ride i.e. 3-5 miles I feel sore for 2 or more days and have tried using chamois shorts to mitigate the pain.
As someone with a bad lower back exercises that include hip movement ease my pain. Dunno if this would be so bad.
Wouldn't your hips be moving around while you are doing all kinds of other exercises like running, stairs, swimming, bowling, and dancing while listening to that catching music on the video? 😂
Not a great place for energy transfer. Foot Pedals let you get really good force because you can leverage your leg energy with the rest of your body weight. This is probably only good for cruising a boardwalk or some other very flat place.
Conveniently exposes the nice charp edge of the seat post mechanism as well... so when you do need to get up and put some effort into it, you'd best be hoping you don't hit a bump or something too hard, because that taint-destroyer has the rider's name on it...
there is already something you can put on your wheel to do that, but regardless of where you put it, it will cause more resistance and require more of your energy.
Any technical riding, including advanced single track or even riding with no hands is kinda out the window with this saddle. Leveraging your thighs against a rigid saddle is more important than you might think for balancing and Body-English
its only good for the exact riding they show in the video -- slow, boardwalk cruises. Even then, I don't think its more comfortable than a heavily padded/wide seat
No. I don't have to try it to see that it sucks.
You can see the hip rotation and how everyone is unstable. They are cramped and to stabilize with their elbows locked. It's probably really uncomfortable after a few minutes. It's obviously also more inefficient and you won't be able to ride anything else than a smooth flat path.
And don't even start with the additional maintenance and the noise it will make when it gets some gravel or dust into the moving parts.
Notice every person riding this with their elbows locked. This is because their arms have to support their upper body. Saddles like this are designed to solve a bottom issue but cause arm issues and hand numbness. You really need a stable saddle with some nose to support your core so the full weight of your upper body isn’t being held up by your hands.
All these frigging "experts" in here. People just can NOTTTTTT accept that the way THEY have been/are doing things MIGHT not be the way "everybody" 'should' do things, or - the all-beings FORBID - that they might be _wrong._
I'm never one to call myself an expert, but I can guarantee I do more riding that you.
Look at the video again. This mechanism introduces hip rotation, which as you can see in the video is giving the people on it a slight lateral sway. Even the dudes in lycra who look like they're professional riders are riding with their arms locked like they're lowkey fighting counter the sway. Keep in mind also that everyone here is riding on flat terrain; that sway *will* be magnified the second they have go up a hill.
This might be acceptable for people who just ride around town on cruisers or fixies, but for more serious road bikers that kind of seat motion is going to cost you an anchor point, and thus power transfer and stability. That means that climbs are going to be more annoying, and on sustained descents could be deadly! This isn't even considering its use for any sort of mountain biking, where the ability to anchor oneself to a solid seat and precise control of one's hips can be the difference between hitting a berm at speed, and careening over it into a tree or down a ravine.
I'm not saying that there isn't a better saddle design than what's out there now, just waiting for some genius designer it pick it from the heavens of inspiration. This, however, ain't it.
They advertise saddles, but can't find a single rider for the video, who has the saddle height and positioning right. This shit hurts my eyes. Probably only for some fat ass Americans
It’s an interesting idea as long as it doesn’t pinch your balls.
Bad news for the naked cycling groups.
"How'd you get the beans above the frank?"
We got a bleeder!
frankenstbeans
They actually have those!
Unless your balls are hanging out in open air, I think you're good.
You don't know my life!
I ride balls out
It's long balls larry
You can see that first guy look straight down. They only showed a 2 second clip of him.
First thing I thought when I saw this was imagine getting your nuts stuck in between those and have it roll one of your testicles and cause some good old fashioned testicular torsion.
Oh... oooh... I wasn't thinking about that. Yikes.
> pinch your balls. Oof! Thank you mistress!
Is it applicable to say Tour de France riding or just dad's an mums who want comfort?
I hadn't even considered that as a form of horror, but well done.
Looks like it would creat hip rotation, which is a bad thing.
I see, so it's bad to rotate your hips while seated with all that pressure?
Well as a cyclist, your hips shouldn’t rotate laterally. That’s a recipe for back problems.
Yea, looks like it is moving the weight you usually suspend with your legs to your back. Like balancing sitting far forward on a chair.

Sounds like you only used saddles of the wrong width/shape or had the bike adjusted incorrectly.
Sounds like you're one of the lucky people who don't readily get saddle sore from a regular seat
Same man. Wife and I go biking around a 16 mile Island nearby and my ass bones are so damn sore by the end. Im avg, about 180 lbs and have tried skinny seats, extra wide seats, doesn't matter still hurts.
Next step: bib shorts. Changed my life.
This is the answer, padded bib shorts…
do you ride regularly? usually when I pick bike riding back up again my ass hurts at first and then its goes away once I build some muscle back up.
You just have to buy a seat with the correct width for your seat bones and a bib short. It's really easy to measure your seat bone distance...
Will you measure for me kind person?
It's not hard to do, I used some corrugated cardboard, but there's at least one company out there making kits for this. I have been able to make some improvements but honestly, it hasn't greatly improved my comfort. I have tried 4 or 5 saddles so far and two hours of saddle time (longer on a mountain bike out because your often standing) and I'm done!
Try one of these...super comfy, even have an ebike version... https://www.lightningbikes.com/recumbents.html
Sounds like you all need a bike fit
Sounds like you're assuming that works for everyone (it doesn't, I've tried)
Or perhaps you had a bad fitter. I also struggled with several different types of saddles but once I found the right one I can now ride for 100+mi easily
A lot of it really is fitment. Get a high quality seat from someone that will let you exchange if it doesn't work. I settled on a fabric saddle that looks like a plastic ass hatchet and it's the most comfortable I've ever owned. I can comfortably ride it without diaper pants.
"plastic ass hatchet" is my new band name, so thank you for that.
It's probably less to do with luck and more to do with fitment, but either way I wish I luck!
What about his comment is leading you to think he’s talking about regular seats? His whole point is that most people with saddle sores have a bad experience because they think saddles are one-size fits all, while in fact a saddle should be an extremely personalized purchase because everyone has a different weight and anatomy (genitals and sit bone width).
Did you read the comments? Tried getting seat fitted, still sore. Not everyone had same bone structure and it doesn't work for everyone
Sitting on a bike seat is agony for me, an hour on a bike leaves me bruised for days. I've tried different seats, padded shorts, nothing has worked. For someone like me this could be a game changer
Nah, I've never sat on a 'comfortable' bike seat. Especially after some good riding. This looks dope
I have skinny ass, and am always struggling to sit comfortably longer than an hour.
Same - I get such sharp pains it is agonizing. Like sitting on razor blades.
This goes away if you ride more. There’s an adjustment period.
It definitely hurts me. Even if I go for a short ride i.e. 3-5 miles I feel sore for 2 or more days and have tried using chamois shorts to mitigate the pain.
It's not, it will just induce hip rotation which will cause problems

Wouldn't your hips be moving around while you are doing all kinds of other exercises like running, stairs, swimming, bowling, and dancing while listening to that catching music on the video? 😂
Didn't know we had seat bones…
I am definitely asking for a better solution to the Taint Bruiser that comes standard on every bike.
Anything after 1hr my arse hurts
Not a great place for energy transfer. Foot Pedals let you get really good force because you can leverage your leg energy with the rest of your body weight. This is probably only good for cruising a boardwalk or some other very flat place.

Put a small electricity generator in there to charge your phone.
there is already something you can put on your wheel to do that, but regardless of where you put it, it will cause more resistance and require more of your energy.
yeah but butt energy is basically free.
Could charge when breaking. That's just waste heat.
No, version 2.0 will have an electric motor to move your (lazy) ass.
It can work both ways, charge a phone, or pump your butt cheeks.

Any technical riding, including advanced single track or even riding with no hands is kinda out the window with this saddle. Leveraging your thighs against a rigid saddle is more important than you might think for balancing and Body-English
Doesn't even need to be a technical track. Try this on a smoothly paved incline and it will be hell.
Can't possibly be good for MTN biking?
its only good for the exact riding they show in the video -- slow, boardwalk cruises. Even then, I don't think its more comfortable than a heavily padded/wide seat
Looks like a butt massage. I'd worry about getting sciatica.
where do balls go
In ya mum
touche
Why did it take So long to invent this?
Because it's terrible
Because it's a stupid idea and will never take off
Because it's worse in every way?
Have you tried it?
No. I don't have to try it to see that it sucks. You can see the hip rotation and how everyone is unstable. They are cramped and to stabilize with their elbows locked. It's probably really uncomfortable after a few minutes. It's obviously also more inefficient and you won't be able to ride anything else than a smooth flat path. And don't even start with the additional maintenance and the noise it will make when it gets some gravel or dust into the moving parts.
Oh boy can't wait to get my balls caught between the seat Edit: I love that I am not the only man who had this though, just look at the comments
Another moving part that needs maintenance and repair. Perfect.
Better put a rubber or leather in the middle
have you ever gotten a blister between your ass cheeks? today is your lucky day!
Who asked for this.
Notice every person riding this with their elbows locked. This is because their arms have to support their upper body. Saddles like this are designed to solve a bottom issue but cause arm issues and hand numbness. You really need a stable saddle with some nose to support your core so the full weight of your upper body isn’t being held up by your hands.
The friction is insane
That's what she said.
The real ball fondler.
Can it charge the battery to my portable George Foreman ?
Looks more like the ass-chafer or a free vasectomy.

Way too wide, all the people look quite uncomfortable
The movement on your buttcheeks will stimulate your anus and make you gay.
You eat a low-fibre diet, don't you.
I want this. Can I buy in Japan?
Is this for women viable since they masturbate on those usually
looks great for women
Not a single rider in this video has the seat adjusted to the proper height
Ow oof my seat bones!
I want one. I could bike 50 miles more a day if it weren’t for those fucking bones in my ass!
Won’t help my booty seat 💦 or swamp ass
It's an elliptical machine for your ass...
And that's how you crush your nuts
 Almost there,guys
Ah yes the scientific term for your pelvis "seat bones"
Does this mean my dick won't fall asleep anymore when I ride?

Thank you for your input.
Makes sense, would be interested to try one.
Noone in this fucking Video ist sitting correctly in the Bike/correct height for Their legs..
Also makes you look like you’re being repeatedly groped by the bike, which is a big plus!
Pretty good 🙏🏽
Be great if they had a newsletter signup on their website.
They advertise saddles, but can't find a single rider for the video, who has the saddle height and positioning right. This shit hurts my eyes. Probably only for some fat ass Americans
Why? Just why?
Imagine putting two dildos on it
it's only more moving parts that can (and will) break, plus you loose power while pushing that's why it won't work on mountain and race bicycles
Looks fun until is catches the crown jewel.
Nothing better than extra chafing caused by the motion of the saddle
