Posedla [poe-sed-lah] is a Czech tech company producing customized cycling components using 3D printing with respect for the individual cyclist while promoting a healthier cycling experience.

Our main product is Joyseat — a custom-made 3D-printed bicycle saddle. We use an industrial 3D printer with Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technology. The upper part of the saddle is made of a specially developed patent-pending lattice structure, which we print from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). All this allows us to customize the saddle's stiffness and individual zones exactly to the cyclist's specific needs. The lower part of the saddle, the rails, and the shell are made of carbon fibre. In May 2022, we launched a pre-sale of the first 100 custom saddles and sold out in a few weeks. Less than a year later, we already have customers from all around the globe.

When we're not making saddles...

We're recording our podcast called "Life in the Saddle". We invite guests from the world of cycling and ask what it's like behind the exclusive cycling curtain.

We are testing and producing cycling cosmetics. The first product was our cycling chamois cream Smiling Butt Cream, which takes care of your saddle area. The cosmetic line was completed in spring 2022 with a pair of massage emulsions - Warming Legs Cream and Cooling Legs Cream.
