Tu confort en el sillín es el resultado de un trabajo oculto, una ventaja invisible que te permite pedalear pensando solo en transmitir tu potencia a la bicicleta.
Realizadas con detalles hábilmente diseñados que funcionan como una máquina perfectamente regulada, las badanas son tu ventaja invisible.
Para ofrecer confort y una adherencia perfecta, en nuestros tejidos y acolchados utilizamos una amplia variedad de materiales, aplicando también diferentes tecnologías. Por este motivo hemos diseñado dos tipos de fabricación de la badana: cosida y termoformada. Ambas tecnologías garantizan los más altos estándares de confort, protección, transpirabilidad y rendimiento.
Construction of a stitched chamois follows the traditional methods.
Materials are cut separately, the fabric is laminated to the foam, then the layers are joined through an automated stitching operation. Our stitched pads are extremely soft and, with this technology, we can feature the latest in padding inserts like our N3X inserts.
La fabricación de una badana cosida se realiza con métodos tradicionales.
Los materiales se cortan por separado, el tejido se lamina con espuma y posteriormente las capas se unen mediante un proceso de costura automatizado.
Nuestras badanas cosidas son extremadamente suaves y, gracias a esta tecnología, podemos integrar las más recientes innovaciones en los insertos de acolchado, como nuestros Insertos N3X®
Assembling our pads with an anatomic construction ensures they’ll completely adapt to the cyclist’s body. That adaptation guarantees a perfect fit, as well as stability in the saddle, which is the key to delivering power on the bike.
Stitched chamois
In stitched chamois, the anatomic shape is created by assembling two half-moon shapes. The two components of the pad are joined using traditional stitching (with an optional flatlock stitching) and ultrasonic technology, guaranteeing a smooth surface where the pad contacts the skin.
Thermo-molded pads have a multidirectional curvature, a construction technology invented by Elastic Interface®. The pad’s curved anatomic shape is created through the use of three-dimensional molds and counter molds, which allow us to create pre-shaped, ergonomic pads.
The latest addition to our anatomic collection is the seamless half-moon shape, a mixed construction that combines thermo-molding and stitching technologies. This construction provides the typical fit of an anatomic stitched chamois, along with the comfort of a seamless central channel.
We’ve created a variety of chamois top solutions to improve the air permeability and breathability of our products. Our primary goal is always to improve a cyclist’s comfort during the ride. Our perforated top designs and Air Mapping System are designed to guarantee lower skin temperature and improved moisture management.
During long rides, when sweating is unavoidable, it is essential to keep the skin temperature as low as possible. We developed Air Mapping System to improve air permeability and circulation for cyclists.
Air Mapping System has no lamination. The materials are simply glued together with the use of heat and a film that melts with the foam.
This allows us to create a fabric-only top with ventilation holes, and supportive foam underneath. Our innovative Air Mapping System increases wicking performance and air permeability while adding overall breathability.
Conch design is a simple way to improve cyclists’ comfort while riding.
A computerized cutting system and a specific design of the seams allow us to create a three-dimensional area in the front of the padding that provides comfort to the genital region, while the soft elastic mesh insert allows proper ventilation, keeping the area comfortably dry.
These two elements improve the cyclist’s performance by eliminating unwanted compression and moisture retention.
Available for custom projects only.
Improving saddle stability is also part of our work to provide you with better allies in your rides. The foam's smooth transitions help eliminate unnecessary transitions between pads.
Innovation also means renovating and improving classic construction techniques. In this frame we find Evologic Progressive 2.0.
Evologic Progressive 2.0 is the next step in gradual foam shaping. In the same bulk, cyclists will enjoy a completely smooth transition from a medium-density, transitional foam in the lateral areas to a more protective foam in the peak pressure areas. This construction allows us to reduce bulk, whilst keeping athletes comfortable and stable in saddle.
Our patented EvoLogic technology is an innovative manufacturing process that reduces foam waste by 80%, compared to traditional carving techniques.
EvoLogic technology provides lighter, more elastic, more breathable pads, thanks to the absence of glue between the foam layers. The process also allows us to create pads that have seamless construction, smooth areas of transition and a wider range of comfortable shapes and designs.
Los materiales son fundamentales para garantizar el máximo confort y el mejor rendimiento en el ciclismo. En Elastic Interface, cada material es elegido con gran atención, para dar a nuestros productos un confort y una durabilidad inigualables.
