the Butt pain is a biggest complaint amongst cyclists,many of them will tell you that the coushing seat is not even helping them much.. The theory goes that the extra padding will ultimately just adding more pressure. Suspension seat posts are one alternative, although European cyclists Martin Moravia and Slawek Gawlik have created what they claim is another, that's lighter and simpler – the Morgaw shock-absorbing saddle.
Saddles accompanies steel-spring suspensions have been around pretty much as long as the bicycle itself. Morgaw, however, uses elastomer inserts that sit between the saddle rails and the saddle itself, both in the front and back. These features absorb much of the road shock vibrations that travel up the seatpost, plus they also allow the saddle to pivot with the rider's butt a little, both fore and aft, and from side to side.
how much it will cost??
The elastomers are available in three stiffnesses, in order to satisfy riders of varying weights. Additionally, everything can be taken apart and reassembled by the user, allowing them to swap in different elastomers, saddle tops, or rails (in the event that one is damaged).
Plans call for multiple versions of the Morgaw to be produced, suited to different types of cycling. Moravcik and Gawlik are currently trying to make that happen, via an Indiegogo campaign.
A amount of US$79 will get you a seat model of your choice with aluminum rails, while $119 is required for one with carbon rails – when and if the funding goal is met. The estimated retail prices are $125 and $139.
