Alpitude has introduced a prototype saddle called the Navene 3D Ti that combines ultralight carbon with innovative 3D-printed titanium rails. These rails serve as tunable leaf springs, designed to dampen vibrations and enhance rider comfort without adding weight. The design allows for adjustments depending on rider weight or biking conditions. To ensure durability, a complex open structure in the titanium maximizes the bonding surface between the rails and carbon shell. This approach aims to deliver a unique combination of stiffness and compliance for cyclists.
Alpitude's prototype Navene 3D Ti saddle features unique 3D-printed titanium leaf spring rails designed to enhance vibration damping and rider comfort without adding weight.
The titanium rails in the saddle transition into leaf springs that effectively filter road vibrations, offering a mix of stiffness and compliance for riders.
The innovative design allows for tuning the spring effect for various rider weights and bike applications, maintaining a lightweight structure while improving comfort.
A complex open structure in the titanium rails increases bonding surface area with the carbon shell, ensuring long-term durability and performance.
