An aftermarket addition to a bicycle, designed to enhance rider comfort by incorporating viscoelastic foam into the saddle covering. This accessory aims to mitigate pressure points experienced during cycling, particularly on longer rides.
The implementation of this cushioning material offers several advantages. It can reduce discomfort and fatigue, potentially improving the overall cycling experience and encouraging longer or more frequent rides. Historically, cyclists have sought ways to improve saddle comfort, leading to innovations in saddle design and materials, with viscoelastic foam representing a relatively recent development aimed at providing a customized and supportive interface between rider and bicycle.
