Cirrus Cycles

Kinekt Bodyfloat Seatpost

On September 16, 2018, 45-year-old mother of three Denise Muellar-Korenek set the world record for paced bicycle land speed at 183.93 mph, beating Dutchman Fred Rompelberg’s 1995 record of 167 mph. Riding in the slipstream just a few inches behind a 1,000 horsepower dragster, she became the first and only woman to hold the world record, first established in 1889.

Helping her achieve the record was her Kinekt suspension seat post which absorbed road vibrations, providing a more stable and controlled ride as she streaked across the Bonneville Salt Flats.

Kinekt is the product of Bellingham company Cirrus Cycles and is available in aluminum or carbon fiber with spring combinations for riders up to 260 pounds. The seat post dramatically improves the performance and comfort of any rider on any bike. Cirrus Cycle was founded in 2011 by inventor Paul Barkley (who also founded Kulshan Bicycles in the ’70s) and former local pro rider Charlie Heggem.
