Accuride Corporation (OTCBB: AURDQ) today announced the
availability of The New Bostrom Pro RideTM seat designed for best
in class comfort.
“We’re extremely excited to release The New Bostrom Pro Ride.
This seat is loaded with enhancements that provide drivers with
solutions for increased comfort, durability, serviceability, and
style,” said Rick Schomer, Accuride’s Senior Vice President of
Marketing and Sales. “The Bostrom Pro Ride was designed to address
drivers’ needs as identified during extensive ergonomic testing and
supported by subsequent consumer comfort evaluations. We engineered
an entirely new seat to include enhancements ranging from the basic
frame and suspension, selection of fabric, and length of the
armrest, to the positioning and types of controls; demonstrating we
understand every feature of a seat that impacts a driver’s
comfort.”
Bostrom Pro Ride’s new foam design includes contours and
enhancements in foam density to ensure the highest level of comfort
available.
“We conducted pressure point mapping which helped us identify
areas to increase both lower and mid back support so that the
pressure on a driver’s shoulders would be decreased,” added
Schomer. “Through the mapping we were also able to confirm that the
new lower and wider suspension decreases high pressure points on
the seat bottom while offering the same mounting pattern and hip
(h) point our customers expect from the current suspension. At the
same time, the suspension provides greater stability with the
increased footprint.”
The Bostrom Pro Ride is available in three option levels, each
offering unique styling to ensure that there is a seat to meet each
individual driver’s needs. Options include a new Titan cloth, air
lumbar, bellows, swivel, and dual armrests with an improved larger
adjustment wheel. And, standard for all levels is a new switch
design that is mounted in a profiled side shield to ease seat
adjustment and foster an ergonomic entry.
