ABSTRACT:
An ultra light multilayer saddle structure, particularly for pedal-driven vehicles, includes a support frame optionally covered with a resilient padding. The frame has a first skin and a second skin, between which a spacer core is interposed. The first and the second skin include at least one layer of a first material and one layer of a second material respectively, selected among those having a predetermined density and a relatively high compressive and shear strength. The core has at least one layer of a third material whose density is lower than that of the first and second materials. The core is adapted to keep the skins spaced-apart, to increase the stiffness and mechanical strength of the frame, while reducing the overall weight thereof. A process for making a frame for the saddle structure is provided.
