CHAPTER I · ORIGIN

NATVRAL® technologies seek to define a new ergonomics category around dynamic seat positioning

NATVRAL® technologies seek to define a new ergonomics category around dynamic seat positioning, while leaving plenty of room for frame design, system integrations, and on‑bike performance innovations where riders, builders, and OEM partners can help shape the broader standard together.

Founder

David Watson

NATVRAL® Technologies was founded by retired athlete and entrepreneur David Watson. Dave is an award-winning product designer, formerElite National Mountain Bike Champion, World Cup podium finisher, Joyride Champion, and top-ranked Red Bull Rampage and international freeride competitor from the early days of the sport. With riding in his DNA—and a young family of little shredders alongside his wife, Carmen—he's happiest exploring the mountains with his crew and dreaming up new ideas in his mountain lab near Mt. Seymour on Vancouver's North Shore.

Today, Dave brings that same obsession with precision and performance into NATVRAL®—building rider-first technology at the intersection of biomechanics, hardware, and software. The company operates like a modern tech lab: prototype-driven, data-informed, and deeply connected to real riders in the field.
