SDG 2017 – RIDE IN GOOD COMPANY

Nearly 16 years ago, as a young and naive action sports junkie, I would have never envisioned a minimum wage, college internship at SDG would evolve into spearheading such a charge.
While it certainly hasn’t been a walk in the park, our small, yet passionate team and I have embraced the challenges. It’s been a true privilege to build upon the foundation of the brand for eight years and humbled by the continued support and lifelong relationships I’ve forged along the way. Our philosophy is simple: develop leading edge products that advance the industry, with our own style – in lieu of the ‘me too’ line extensions. With feedback from elite teams, athletes, weekend warriors and product managers, as SDG saddles and posts may be found as Original Equipment on select brands, we have tirelessly tested and refined our products.
We most certainly have not arrived…always more to develop and create – but we’ve come a long way since pioneering the industry’s first Kevlar covered saddle and I-Beam Technology. And today, I am excited to present our most comprehensive lineup to date. Please trust, if you’re riding SDG in 2017 – you will RIDE IN GOOD COMPANY.” President – Tyler Anspach
