vabsRider Feature Overview

The vabsRider introduces a revolutionary split-seat design that pivots around a virtual axis to mirror your body's natural pedaling motion.

This innovative engineering allows the vabsRider to redistribute pressure away from sensitive soft tissue areas to the femurs (thigh bones) the longest, strongest bones in your body. 

The vabsRider provides an ergonomic experience unlike any traditional saddle.

The vabsRider's unique split-seat design allows each side of the saddle to move independently around a central pivot point – a virtual axis – that mimics the natural rotation of the human pedalling motion.

The vabsRider transfers the pressure from the sit bones to the femurs ensuring an evenly distributed load. The result is a dynamic and naturally comfortable bike seat that reminds people why they love cycling, and brings the enjoyment of bike riding to a whole new group of people.

Video: How to Adjust The vabsRider 

The vabsRider is fully adjustable – you can customise the saddle height, translation and rotation – to suit your physiology and personal riding style. It also comes with a seat spacer you can use for a broader base.
