Performance without pain

Hours in the wind tunnel. Prototypes tested. Riders still report numbness. Without knowing exactly how real anatomy loads saddle surfaces, perfect bike fits remain elusive.

That's why IEE partnered with GeBioM and Fizik—providing high-resolution pressure sensors that reveal true rider-saddle interaction. Because elite performance begins with data-driven design, not design-driven data.

Performance without pain

Hours in the wind tunnel. Prototypes tested. Riders still report numbness. Without knowing exactly how real anatomy loads saddle surfaces, perfect bike fits remain elusive.

That's why IEE partnered with GeBioM and Fizik—providing high-resolution pressure sensors that reveal true rider-saddle interaction. Because elite performance begins with data-driven design, not design-driven data.

The link between pressure and perfection

Every rider differs—pelvis rotation, sit bone width, power style. 30% of pro cyclists abandon saddles due to hotspots. Traditional fits guess; wind tunnels miss dynamic loads. Saddles fail biomechanically despite visual perfection.

IEE's flexible foil sensors (64+ points) integrate into test saddles for GeBioM's dynamic mapping—capturing pressure distribution across hoods, drops, sprints. Data reveals sit bone tracking, asymmetry, peak loads, pelvic stability. Fizik's One-to-One 3D printing uses this for custom padding.

Unleashing saddle design precision

Sensors slip over any saddle prototype—no position disruption. Wireless transmission to PC captures static/dynamic data: color heatmaps show mean pressure, front/rear balance, left/right symmetry, pelvic hemisphere tracking.

Bike engineers optimize cutouts, channels, widths. GeBioM fits pros; Fizik scales to consumers. By knowing exactly how human anatomy stresses saddle surfaces, manufacturers eliminate waste—perfect compliance, injury prevention, maximum transfer.
