ELASTIC INTERFACE® BY CYTECH
ELASTIC INTERFACE® is the brand that gives its name to a wide range of hi-tech cycling pads, born towards the end of the nineties, laying the foundation for the CyTech company, created in 2000.
Our vision was to imagine a totally elastic cycling chamois as the cyclist-bicycle interface. We patented this technology and developed it over the years and, as it had already been in 1989 when we presented our first thermo-formed anatomic pad with multi thicknesses and gel…

SADDLE POSITIONS AND PRESSURE POINTS
It is common knowledge that the sitting position causes significant pressure on the gluteal, ischial and perineal area. But what is less well known is that there are other factors that can alter the pressure points. These factors include the position on the saddle, the type of bicycle (road, MTB and city bike) and gender. Data obtained in our laboratories confirms how even small alterations to the saddle position translate into improved symmetry in the down stroke, improved cycling output and reduced oxygen consumption at a constant wattage…

BACTERIOSTASIS
I'd like to talk about BACTERIOSTASIS. This is always been a very important factor for Elastic Interface: being BACTERIOSTASIC is not the same concept as being ANTIBACTERIAL. An antibacterial treatment tends to eliminate all bacteria, including the kink that normally lives on the skin, however the presence of bacteria on the skin is essential for fighting the development of external and potentially pathogenic bacterial colonies…

CHAMOIS DEVELOPMENT
Specialized apparel isn't your average apparel. We work closely with top material manufacturers to create the best cycling apparel possible. Unlike many clothing makers, we don't just pick a chamois out of a catalog to use in our shorts and bibs. We develop specific shapes and densities of padding based on scientific testing and Body Geometry principles.
