The construction of the bicycle seat actually reduces tension in the [lower back and spine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/libernovo-omni), while adding flexibility and stability to a cyclist's range of motions. Morgaw is offered with soft, medium and hard shock absorbers, as well as the option for steel or [carbon fiber rails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/void-marauder-gravel-bike).
