A seat post head assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes a housing coupled to a seat post, the housing including a cylindrical bore, and a first and second threaded chamber. A rotatable core is inserted into and rotates within the cylindrical bore, the rotatable core including a seat rail clamp assembly to fixedly clamp a set of seat rails and provide independent adjustment of a fore-aft location of the seat without affecting a pitch of the seat. The assembly additionally includes a first threaded member that threads into the first threaded chamber, contacts the rotatable core, and adjusts the pitch of the seat without affecting the fore-aft location of the seat. The assembly also includes a second threaded member that threads into the second threaded chamber, contacts a different portion of the rotatable core, and provides a physical hard stop against a change in the pitch.

The present invention relates to a saddle for vehicles, such as bicycles or motorcycles, including a seat component defining a support surface for a user and a base component or felt to which the seat component is constrained or connected, the saddle then including a printed circuit.

A dropper seatpost assembly is disclosed. The dropper seatpost assembly includes a lower post comprising a travel adjustment bore and an upper post configured to interactively operate with respect to the lower post. The dropper seatpost assembly also includes a translating assembly configured to maintain one or both of an axial orientation and a rotational orientation of the upper post with respect to the lower post and at least one travel adjustment spacer removably coupled with the travel adjustment bore, the at least one travel adjustment spacer to interact with the translating assembly to reduce a maximum travel distance of the interactive operation of the upper post with respect to the lower post.

A vibration isolator can be configured to provide improved vibration isolation performance, such as in connection with a bicycle saddle. The bicycle saddle can be operatively connected to a bicycle frame. The vibration isolator can be located within a portion of the bicycle frame. The vibration isolator can be operatively positioned with respect to the bicycle saddle. The vibration isolator being configured to exhibit a non-linear stiffness profile. The non-linear stiffness profile can include a region of quasi-zero stiffness. The vibration isolator including a plurality of spring members arranged in a stack.

An electronically actuated dropper seatpost is disclosed. The electronically actuated dropper seatpost includes an upper post and a lower post telescopically coupled with the upper post. The electronically actuated dropper seatpost also includes an electronically adjustable valve assembly configured to control a telescopic movement of the upper post and the lower post. The electronically adjustable valve assembly including a valve controlling a flow path and a motive component, wherein an electronic input to the motive component will change a flow rate of a fluid through the valve.

A hidden-type shock absorbing bicycle frame has a front vehicle frame, a transmission assembly, a rear vehicle frame, and a damper. The front vehicle frame has a seat tube having two assembly plates. The assembly plate has an upper pivot hole and a lower pivot hole. An assembly space is formed between the assembly plates. The transmission assembly is pivotally connected to the upper pivot holes and has two front arms located in the assembly space and two rear arms located at two sides of the seat tube and extending backwardly. The rear vehicle frame is pivotally connected with the rear arms and is pivotally connected with the seat tube. The damper hidden inside the assembly space has a top end pivotally connected with the front arms and a bottom end pivotally connected to the lower pivot holes.
