OEM WORKFLOW

    OEM Bicycle Saddle Process

    From initial brief to sample approval, production, quality control, and shipment, SPROKETO helps brands develop custom bicycle saddles with a clear, structured OEM workflow.

    How the OEM Saddle Process Works

    Consultation and Project Brief

    Understand your target market, rider profile, saddle type, budget range, branding needs, packaging requirements, and quality expectations.

    02

    Choose from existing 3D printed or conventional saddle platforms, or discuss a custom direction for shape, structure, cushioning, rail system, cover material, and packaging.

    03

    Design and Prototype Development

    Prepare the development direction, material options, logo placement, color references, packaging direction, and prototype samples for review.

    04

    Sample Review and Refinement

    Review saddle comfort, structure, finish, weight, branding details, packaging presentation, and buyer feedback before moving forward.

    How are samples reviewed before production?

    Samples are reviewed for comfort direction, appearance, structure, finish, branding details, packaging presentation, and consistency with the agreed specifications.
