Specialized patents a armchair that automatically changes the inclination angle during the march
The cycling industry is a focus of continuous innovation. Brands and manufacturers of bicycles and components dedicate large budgets every year to investigate and develop new materials, designs and technologies that improve the performance and comfort of cyclists.

Specialized has just submitted a patent application (this) In the United States Patent Office to register an intelligent armchair that automatically adjusts the inclination angle based on the march.
In mountain cycling the height of the armchair is a very important factor. Not only for cyclist's comfort, but also to determine the efficiency and power of his pedal. In certain situations it is more convenient to place the armchair in a higher position, such as during a stretch of climbing by a trialera route.
In others, it is more advantageous than the armchair is at a lower height. Telescopic scams suppose a great advance in this regard, since they allow adjusting the height of the armchair automatically during the march based on whether you are rising or making a descent.
But, in addition to the height, the angle at which the armchair is placed also plays an important role. Tilt the seat forward when the armchair is in a high position can be advantageous. In the same way, placing it with an angle back also has advantages when the armchair is placed in a descent position.
Following the same principle of telescopic scams, which offer the cyclist the possibility of adjusting with a simple gesture the height of the armchair without having to get off the bicycle, Specialized has just submitted a patent application to record a mechanism that also allows us to vary the Sillin angle automatically on the fly.
Will we see these self-adjustable armchairs in the next models of enduro and All Mountain from Specialized?
