About ataraxyBSC
We are an Australian-based engineering firm on a mission to redefine cycling comfort.
A Quest for True Comfort
Robin Macan founded vabsRider to solve a 200-year-old problem: the static bicycle saddle. What began as a painful ride to his late mother’s house evolved into a breakthrough in biomechanics. Today, the vabsRider is the result of Robin's commitment to engineering a pain-free future for every cyclist.

The virtual axis: the heart of our innovation
Our Virtual Axis technology mimics natural hip rotation, neutralising sit-bone pressure and soft-tissue compression. It’s the breakthrough that makes ataraxy – serene calmness – a cycling reality.
Pain-free Riding
The vabsRider’s split seat transfers pressure from the sit bones to the femurs – the largest bone in the body – eliminating saddle pressure by 80%.
Proven Ergonomics
The vabsRider’s innovative design allows for individual movement of the legs around a virtual axis. When this is aligned with your hip joint it supports your femurs for a distributed load.
Respects Human Anatomy
The vabsRider’s unisex design eliminates pressure where it hurts the most – the soft tissue areas – preventing numbness, and tissue damage.
Compatible With Most Bicycles
The vabsRider is engineered for durability on sturdy frames, making it the perfect upgrade for e-bikes, cargo, touring, and commuting bicycles. It offers a universal fit with three seat post diameter options (27.2mm, 30.9mm, and 31.6mm) and features a fully adjustable design for personalised height, transition, and rotation.

" I am someone with a love of riding that has suffered from significant back pain which has limited my joy of riding since I retired. After testing the product, I very much looked forward to riding each day using this seat."

" I rode 5 hours sitting on the bicycle seat and I did 85km in that time. The seat was great, I found it surprisingly comfortable! If you’re having any problems with pain in the (soft) tissue area the vabsRider absolutely solves that problem."

" I had a fracture of the knee many years back. This is much more comfortable for my knee. After 45 minutes on the vabsRider, I didn’t feel any back or bum pain as compared with a normal seat."
