Semenuk and Chromag will collaborate to create a dirt jump-specific saddle. It will be available in 2010. I’ve been searching for the perfect seat, and I wanted to collaborate with someone who could help me create it. It was easy to choose Chromag and I’m thrilled they are interested. Their emphasis on style and quality matches my values, and Ian lives right next to me!
Brandon will be working with Ian Ritz, the owner of Chromag, on a new category saddle called Blueprint. This will cater to the needs of the dirtjump/slopestyle markets. Ritz said that Brandon is a great addition to our team. He has been my half-brother since childhood. We know each other well enough to be able to work together.
Chromag has been growing its saddle line for the past three years. It has seen significant growth in all-mountain and freeride segments. Ritz said that building products for dirt jump is the natural next step. We have always developed with riders in mind, and Brandon will be able to help us create the best products. Brandon is currently testing prototype shapes and materials. Expect to see product previews this fall.
Chromag Bikes has been manufacturing high-end mountain bike frames and components since 2003. They are located in Whistler B.C. Canada.
