Brand Book Fabric 2016

Fabric uses innovative design, pioneering techniques and fresh thinking to create unique and world first cycling products. We push the boundaries by taking an unconventional approach to development. We look outside of the bicycle industry, applying the latest engineering and manufacturing technologies to construct products in ways that no other manufacturer has done to date. The result is a range of products that combine form and function to perfectly suit the needs of the modern cyclist.

WE CREATE TH MOST ADVANC

The search for exceptional saddle comfort and performance has led Fabric to collaborations and manufacturing processes far beyond the cycling world.

The ALM shallow saddle;

HE WORLD’S CED SADDLES.

WE KNEW FROM THE OUTSET THAT WE HAD TO LOOK OUTSIDE TRADITIONAL METHODS AND SOURCES OF MANUFACTURE. We have partnered with the makers of high end running shoes to bring their technology and experience to the development of our ground breaking Cell saddle.

We collaborated with Airbus Group Innovations to prototype the carbon leaf spring rails of the ALM, resulting in a radically unique & lightweight saddle with exceptional shock absorbing characteristics.

The Cell saddle uses a unique structure of hexagonal air-filled cells, which have all the comfort benefits of a gel or sprung saddle without the weight penalty.

flexibility of the base.

The Scoop and Line saddles adopt a unique three-part construction technique, removing the need for seams and stitching. By simplifying the assembly we are able to refine the softness of the cover and the

By looking at parallel industries we’ve adopted new methods of prototyping and manufacture that have enabled us to design the most innovative, creative and functional saddles available. New production techniques allow fabric to create saddles that are lighter, sleeker and more comfortable than traditional saddles.

The ALM saddle is named after Additive Layer Manufacturing, the method for printing titanium in a three dimensional form.

F L E X IBLE CA RBON.

By moving the rear mounting points of the rails to the edge of the base we opened up the centre part of the saddle creating more flexibility. In normal circumstances this would make the outside of the saddle even more stiff and uncomfortable, but the way that the rails are designed allows them to act like a leaf spring that dampens vibration and allows optimum flex across the whole of the ALM saddle.

Right from the outset, we wanted to push the boundaries of saddle design to deliver a beautiful cutting-edge product that performs at the highest level. Working closely with engineers from Airbus Group Innovation and utilising Additive Layer Manufacturing technology enabled us to create a saddle design previously considered unachievable using carbon material. The result is an ultra lightweight saddle with a distinctly unique, organic form.

P R E SSURE RELIEF.

Extended pressure on the pudendal artery can lead to discomfort and numbness. The Line saddle amply supports the sit bones with lightweight foam padding and relieves pressure on the pudendal artery through the addition of a central relief channel. A rare combination of comfort and performance, however long your ride.

The Line uses a split, single piece, full-length pad with a central relief channel to decrease pressure on the pudendal artery. The Line is supremely comfortable for those longer days in the saddle.

Our unique Hex-air cells create the most supportive saddle on the market.

Each cell compresses individually to maximise comfort at all times and keep their shape throughout the life of the saddle.

We have revolutionised saddle design with the Cell. U nique air-sprung technology distributes weight evenly across t he saddle providing unbeatable comfort for all day riding.

The Tri saddle comes equipped with a series of drainage channels to help shed water after the swim and a clever, discrete hook for hanging your bike between transition zones.

Fabric’s tri saddle is designed to suit the specific requirements of triathlon.

Shorter in length than a traditional saddle and featuring a centralised relief channel, the Tri saddle is designed for performance but not at the expense of comfort.
