Hermès has unveiled a high-tech modular saddle featuring a tree made of carbon and injected thermoplastic.

“This is at the heart of the essence of Hermès, which is about marrying tradition and innovation,” said Hermès artistic director Pierre-Alexis Dumas.

As you can see in on the pictures, this Hermès “Talaris” Saddle is a highly structured saddle that improves on the fit and ride as never before.

Paul Smith teamed up with Japanese bicycle saddle specialist, Kashimax, on a limited edition leahtersaddle covered in Smith’s signature stripes.

Only 20 will be available at Paul Smith’s “Space” store in Japan as well his Floral St. store in London.
