Anatomic

From WikiPedalia

Marketing term to describe a bicycle part that is purported to be better fitted to the cyclists' anatomy than other designs. The term has specific customary meanings in the bicycle industry:

  • Anatomic saddles are those with two bumps and a valley between at the rear. This design is usually associated with Avocet, but has been widely copied since.
  • Anatomic brake lever hoods are specifically shaped to fit left and right hands. This design was popularized by Modolo.
  • Anatomic handlebars are drop bars that have straight sections to fit the hands, particularly just below the brake levers. This design is covered by a Modolo patent.
