Animal and MacNeil are pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached between the two companies. The agreement allows Animal to use Mac Neil’s patented Pivotal seat technology on Animal bike seats.
“It’s been a our goal to work with other companies and to get more of them to use our Pivotal design.â€? Said Jay Miron of MacNeil. “ I’ve been a huge fan of Animal since the beginning. So I’m really excited that they are the first to go with the pivotal design.â€? Miron added.
"When we decided it was time to do a seat, we wanted to put out the best one possible in all aspects. I had a long talk with White Boy (Animal product designer) and we decided that the Pivotal system is superior in strength and weight to the standard rail design. We will also be putting out a seat post soon after the introduction of the seat." said Ralph Sinisi from Animal.
Animal will have a sample of the new seat pictured, using Mac Neil’s patented Pivotal technology on Display at Interbike – Las Vegas from Sept. 28th to 30th.
