AirSeat: Smoother Rides by Reducing Vibration and Impact
AirSeat is a series of bicycle saddle suspensions designed to absorb road vibrations and shocks during cycling, enhancing riding comfort. Targeting daily riders—commuters, delivery riders, urban cyclists, long-distance riders, and e-bike users—the product adds suspension functionality around the saddle area. Currently, three models are available in Japan: AirSeat25, AirSeat35, and AirSeat1.
Total Crowdfunding Raised in Japan: Approximately ¥19.88 Million
AirSeat25 and AirSeat35 were previously launched through crowdfunding and general sales in Japan.
AirSeat1 was crowdfunded in Japan by GLOBIX Co., Ltd., followed by general sales.
Crowdfunding results by model:
AirSeat25: ¥8,837,520 from 599 backers
AirSeat35: ¥6,067,150 from 599 backers
AirSeat1: ¥4,973,100 from 378 backers
Total raised across all three models: ¥19,878,770

Award-Winning Designs in International Competitions
AirSeat25 has won the iF DESIGN AWARD 2024 and the Red Dot Winner 2024.
Additionally, the integrated saddle model AirSeat1 has won the iF DESIGN AWARD 2026.
GLOBIX will offer the AirSeat series in Japan with three distinct models, including these award-winning designs, allowing users to choose based on their needs and usage.
AirSeat25
Premium Model Focused on Lightweight Design
AirSeat25 is a suspension unit installed between the saddle and seat post.
Weighing approximately 250g, it is made of aluminum and available in two colors (Black/Silver) and four sizes (XS/S/M/L).
This model is ideal for riders who prioritize lightweight performance but still want suspension functionality.
AirSeat35
Standard Model at a More Accessible Price Point
AirSeat35 is also installed between the saddle and seat post, similar to AirSeat25.
AirSeat25 and AirSeat35 share identical shock absorption performance, fit, and size options. The main differences lie in material, weight, appearance, and price range.
Weighing approximately 350g, it is made of zinc alloy, available in Black only, and offered in four sizes (XS/S/M/L).
AirSeat1
All-in-One Integrated Saddle Model
AirSeat1 integrates the saddle and suspension mechanism into a single unit.
Unlike AirSeat25 and AirSeat35, which add suspension under an existing saddle, AirSeat1 replaces the entire saddle, making installation simple.
It aims to improve comfort across a wide range of uses, including commuting, delivery, urban riding, and e-bikes.
AirSeat1 has also won the iF DESIGN AWARD 2026.
Full-Scale Sales Expansion in Japan from September 2026
Starting September 2026, GLOBIX Co., Ltd. will fully expand the AirSeat series in the Japanese market.
Sales will primarily be conducted through Amazon Japan and the official AirSeat Japan online store. Beyond online advertising, GLOBIX will build a sales and communication strategy that conveys real-world usability and product structure.
Specific initiatives include providing products to cycling YouTube channels for reviews and real-ride videos, expanding wholesale distribution to bicycle retailers and related businesses, and media outreach.
Strengthening Review Campaigns via YouTube
AirSeat is a product whose features are best understood through visual demonstrations of its structure and movement.
Therefore, GLOBIX will collaborate with YouTube channels covering bicycles, road bikes, mini-velos, e-bikes, and commuter bikes.
Through product reviews and real-ride videos, GLOBIX aims to provide potential buyers with more information on actual user experience and installation.
Expanding Wholesale Distribution to Bicycle Retailers and Related Businesses
In addition to online sales, GLOBIX will expand wholesale distribution to bicycle retailers and related businesses.
AirSeat is a product whose features are easily understood when users can see and touch the actual product or observe it installed. By enabling in-store recommendations and displays, GLOBIX aims to increase awareness among more riders.
Inquiries from bicycle retailers and related businesses interested in carrying the AirSeat series are welcome.
Leveraging Overseas Market Success for Japanese Expansion
In the South Korean market, the AirSeat series has sold over 5,000 units annually, with significant growth over the past two years.
GLOBIX will use these international sales insights to refine product offerings, sales channels, and communication strategies tailored to the Japanese market.
※ Annual sales of over 5,000 units based on manufacturer-provided data.
