Specialized Power Saddle

Industrial Design
 
 
 
 
Goals : create a more comfortable and verstatile saddle than the existing SITERO from Specialized.
The Power Saddle was designed to suit both men and women’s anatomies, with three available widths to choose from.
This saddle uses a new construction that combines carbon and advanced polymers, achieving the stiffness of carbon and the durability of plastic
A ridable prototype has been tested over 1 year, by different test riders, before starting the design phase.
My role as a designer was to work over the first prototype skin, with the support of engineers, to provide stiffness to the carbon chassis and dynamism according to Specialized design language.
