WHAT DOES ›HEIA‹ STAND FOR?
EVERY BODY IS DIFFERENT. However, it makes scientific sense to define different body shapes for the appropriate spring suspension. Depending on weight and physique, a differentiation is made between four types H, E, I and A (HEIA).
The classification according to HEIA is based on the appearance of the letters describing the different body shapes. The H-type therefore looks like a strong H, the E-type a uniform E, the I-type the rather slender I and the A-type the downwardly widening A.
THE H-TYPE

- chest and stomach

THE E-TYPE

- pronounced
THE A-TYPE
