Discover How the vabsRider Transforms Your Ride

Loved by Australian Cycling Champion, Anna Meares

Anna Meares OAM, OLY (Olympic Champion) quote, vabsRider is a game changer for the everyday cyclist. I am someone with a love of riding that has suffered from back pain which has limited my joy of riding since I retired. After testing this seat, I very much looked forward to riding each day with this seat.

“That was brilliant, I've never been on a bike before that is actually comfortable. The vabsRider seat is amazing! I’m shocked!”

- Mandy (Trial Day participant)

"I was impressed and would love to take it on my 200-300 kilometre rides on one of my bikes"

- Cherry

“The vabsRider was really great, I felt parts of my body move that I have never felt move before when I'm riding a bike. I'm really excited for when we can get one!”

- Trial Day participant

"As retired e-bikes riders, we were both impressed with the seat and its movement. John said it didn’t matter how much the saddle cost, provided it was more comfortable!"

- Vivienne and John

“I felt stable on the bike, and the seat really moved with me. It felt like a really different riding experience, in a really good way.”

- Trial Day participant

“It was really cool, I liked the way it makes it smooth when you’re pedalling, instead of putting all the strain on sensitive areas. When you move forward you can feel the power of your legs going on pedals.”

- Chris (Trial Day participant)

REVIEWS

I rode 5 hours sitting on the bicycle seat and I did 85km in that time. The seat was great, I found it surprisingly comfortable! If you’re having any problems with pain in the [soft] tissue area, [the vabsRider] absolutely has got to solve that problem.

I had a fracture of the knee many years back. [The vabsRider] is much more comfortable for my knee. After 45 minutes on the vabsRider, I didn’t feel any back or bum pain as compared with a normal seat.
