Not sure if there's actually any need for it or if it's even a good idea when it comes to biomechanics. If the fixed position of a normal bike saddle doesn't cause injury then this is just 'fixing' something that isn't broken. But it looks interesting.

    love the "what would you prefer, pain or no pain" question. no pain please- therefore ill stay as i am as you mention yourself. reminds me of what seems to be a fad of o symmetrics and q rings, seem to be dying out already like bio rings did in the 90's. also reminds me of those suspended hubs they made in japan about a year back. trying to change something that isnt broken as you say. i could see a lot of un rest on this saddle and lots of power lost but may be wrong..

    Interesting. Not sure whether i6t will catch on or not but at least someone is out there thinking.

    Loved the "line of spine" chart. That proves it for me. :lol:

    A lot of quality microsoft paint expertise was used to construct that diagram.

    Also who swings their hips that much when they cycle? maybe what these people really need is some core stability exercises.

    Was gonna say, the way that guy rocks from side to side while riding is surely going to cause an injury!
