You’re not alone if you’ve never heard of the cycling company Posedla. You won’t find its brand name emblazoned on any downtube or jersey. But the young, Czech-born company is intent on making a splash in the industry.
To do so, it took one ambitious step forward. It’s making the world’s first 3D-printed, customizable bike saddle.
The bicycle industry has churned out 3D-printed saddles and rider-customizable versions. The Posedla Joyseat belongs under both categories. It’s the brand’s coup, and it’s widely available now.
All it takes for the company to create a made-to-measure saddle is an imprint of a rider’s sit bones (don’t worry, it provides instructions). Posedla also gathers ride preferences. A patent-pending structure lets Posedla tune individual parts of the saddle toward different stiffnesses, to meet individual needs and sit-bone shapes. It can even adjust the areas between the seat’s three “zones” (sit, rail, and nose) to specific gradients for more customization.
A carbon shell and rails round it out. The Posedla Joyseat saddles weigh 170-210 g, depending on the spec.
