The BioFloat bike seat won’t exactly float on water should you encounter a lake or river during a ride, but it will handle every bump in the road a little beat. The seat is designed to soak up vibrations and act as a shock absorber for the rider’s backside.
This system – which is more than just the seat itself – consists of a carbon fiber seatpost, topped with a head that clamps onto the seat’s mountain rails. This seat clamp is cradled with a pair of flexible clamshell-style elastomer inserts that isolate it from the rest of the tube. This provides a bit of float, which can be adjusted by choosing between three sets of elastomers of varying softness. Anything that takes a bit of the bump of the ride might just help some riders go the distance.
