The article says all the photos are computer generated, so this bike doesn't actually exist yet.

You'ld really need an Iron-Butt for this one. The seat looks like thick black paint over cast iron.

The information over one of the pictures on the site reads:

The frame uses birdcage technology: thin steel tubes (diameter 14mm),, also for the Telelever front suspension system and Paralever rear single-swinging arm. Transmission of power is till by shaft drive.

They also say they are building a full scale prototype of the bike.

Granted this is just a computer generated image, but seats like that are going to be coming on more and more bikes. It's a micro-sel foam covered by a K-Grip vinyl surface and it's surprisingly comfortable. It's what we're using on the VUN.
