Fabric makes waves with new line of products
Italian brands with storied histories and commitment to traditional manufacturing process have had a stranglehold on the high-end saddle market. Fabric is quickly changing that with its line of innovative saddles and accessories. The ALM saddle, pictured here, was co-engineered with Airbus. It is extremely lightweight, and uses a buffalo leather cover. Photo: Logan VonBokel | VeloNews.com

The Fabric cageless water bottles slide on and off these studs. All of the hardware is included with the bottle and the 600ml Water Bottle will be available in September for $20. At just 3 grams, it’s probably the lightest bottle retention system on the market. Photo: Logan VonBokel | VeloNews.com

Fabric’s Water Bottle may take some getting used to, but if you remove it, take a drink, and don’t change your hand grip on the bottle, it easily slots back on with some help from the guides on the bottle. Photo: Logan VonBokel | VeloNews.com

One of Fabric’s most iconic products is its Cell saddle. When designing the Cell, Fabric spoke with all of the current saddle manufacturers and nearly every one of them said that they could not make the saddle to Fabric's specifications. Photo: Logan VonBokel | VeloNews.com

So, Fabric went to a shoe factory to produce the Cell, and looking at a deconstructed saddle, it’s not hard to guess which shoe factory. The Cell is heavily cushioned and designed for a commuter bike, but some riders are finding them useful on mountain bikes as well. Photo: Logan VonBokel | VeloNews.com
