From product design and manufacturing to prototyping and testing, C8 Sports carries out all phases of the product life cycle in Steckborn on the shores of Lake Constance. The latest product is a saddle that makes you sit up and take notice with its slim 69 gram weight.

The entire saddle, including mounting rails and saddle surface, is manufactured monolithically in a single production step. This guarantees a seamless load path between the rails and the saddle surface. This continuous fiber connection leads to outstanding mechanical properties compared to commonly used connection techniques.

No more hazardous waste
According to the makers of C8 Sports, the C8-001 is the world's first carbon saddle that can be completely recycled. After 5 years of research and development, the epoxy resin normally used to hold the carbon fibers together has been replaced by an aviation-approved thermoplastic material. If the customer returns the used saddle to the manufacturer, the latter guarantees complete recycling.

The lightweight builders from Bodensee have another seat up their sleeve: The second saddle in the C8 Sports range weighs 81 grams, has a leather cover and does not have a cut-out in the perineal area.
