Our new "Soft" skin
We've created this "Soft" chamois leather for added comfort in the saddle.
The chosen fabric is soft and breathable. The reinforcement zone is soft, with a measured density of 65 kg/m3 and a thickness of 13mm. This seat insert guarantees comfort when riding a road bike for around 1 hour.
Its shape
The shape of the reinforcements (thicker foam zone) was defined by tests on a pressure pad. This test, carried out on cyclists, consists in measuring the pressure points exerted on the saddle. We were able to design the reinforcement zone by selecting the points of contact where pressure is greatest.
The overall shape of the skin was designed by the model-makers on the basis of a cast on a mannequin, and validated after several fittings and use tests.
Reinforcement zones
Support is well covered at the ischials, and the perineum is also protected. The reinforcement zone is narrow enough in the crotch area to avoid irritation/friction when pedaling. Channels have been embossed into the reinforcement for greater flexibility.
Maintenance tips
Machine wash at 30°. Synthetic program. Put product on reverse side. Do not use fabric softener. Hang to dry in a warm, ventilated place. Do not tumble dry. Do not dry clean. Do not use chlorine. Do not place on a radiator.
Product tests
Our team of product designers, based at the B'TWIN VILLAGE in Lille, is constantly on the lookout for ways to improve the comfort of our customers' bicycles.
Our obsession is to develop products that respond to the needs of the user, so as to eliminate any constraints.
We then test them in the field, because we are convinced that only real-life situations, such as you will experience on your bike, can enable us to make constant progress.
