The Remarkable Journey of SaddleSpur

In a world where cycling has become not just a mode of transportation, but a keen hobby and a competitive sport, the need for innovation is ever apparent. Enter SaddleSpur™, a bike saddle that has the potential to redefine comfort, performance and efficiency for the cycling experience. This invention stemmed from a simple concept: cycling should be a joy, not a pain. Let us take a closer look at how the concept of SaddleSpur transformed from a mere idea into a ground-breaking invention.


From Concept to Invention


The journey began with John, a lifelong cycling enthusiast who noticed a glaring issue that has persisted since the 1800s - the discomfort associated with traditional bike saddles. The realization sparked a fervent desire to make cycling more enjoyable and physically harmonious. John envisioned a saddle that would not only augment comfort but also enhance the cycling performance by redistributing the physical efforts more evenly across the body.


Determined to bring this vision to life, John embarked on a journey of meticulous research and design, leading to the creation of a saddle that promised to change the cycling world forever.






Designing the Future of Cycling


The centerpiece of the SaddleSpur™ is its patented design that focuses on providing unparalleled comfort during cycling adventures, be it uphill, on flat terrains, or downhill. Through intensive development, the saddle was crafted to offer support to the lower back, introducing a secure base at the back - the Spur. This ingenious addition serves as a fulcrum, granting cyclists more purchase and power with every pedal push.


The design didn't stop at merely providing support, the “coccyx connection". It went a step further to reposition the pelvic cradle, creating a more harmonious interaction between the cyclist and the bike. This innovative approach ensures that your entire body is supported, promising maximum comfort and performance for cyclists of all levels.


A Journey Towards Manufacture and Beyond


As the design neared its final stages, it underwent rigorous testing by various cyclists ranging from triathletes to weekend leisure riders. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the enhanced comfort and the more even physical workout it offers. The SaddleSpur™ was also developed to be universally adaptable, easily attaching to standard bike seat posts, whether road, hybrid, or folding bikes.


Now on the brink of its first production run, SaddleSpur™ has also been the subject of a research project. The research found improvements in comfort, efficiency and performance in carefully monitored time trials.


The SaddleSpur™, which has been granted patents in major cycling markets including the UK, USA, China, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and 12 Europe countries (France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden Norway, Switzerland, Poland and the Netherlands) stands as a testament to British ingenuity, blending comfort, engineering excellence, and style into a product that promises to redefine the cycling experience.


The saddle has been manufactured by ISO-9001 qualified engineering firms and is also ISO-4210-9 compliant (Safety requirements for bicycles – Part 9. Saddles and seat-post test methods).


Join the Revolution


This journey from concept to the verge of production has been marked by passion, innovation, and a relentless pursuit of enhancing the cycling experience. Now, as the SaddleSpur™ stands poised to revolutionize the cycling world, you have the chance to be a part of this exciting journey.


Inspired by comfort and engineered by cyclists, the SaddleSpur™ invites you to be a part of a movement that seeks to make cycling more enjoyable and comfortable for all. After all, a saddle is more than just a seat. Jump on, and join the SaddleSpur™ revolution!
