Product Data

Road:Yes  

DNA Carbon Rails
The crossing X shape knot (Dynamic Node Action) increases the rigidity of the rails and also keeps weight to a minimum. The length is greater than traditional carbon rails that you can find on the market, but allows one of the best forward and backward adjustments of the saddle.

Pebax Padding
Innovative material for the padding with extraordinary technological benefits such as the ultra-light weight. Biocompatible with an outstanding shape memory. Its features allow the saddle to be lighter and more comfortable.

New Ergonomy (Pressure Relief)
Perfect balance between support zone and relief zone. The big hole helps maintain comfort under pressure and offers day long support and comfort: the central relief zone is long enough to work in all riding positions but a structural stability bridge prevents unwanted flex and twist.

Microfeel Cover
Breathable and hard wearing cover, it is lighter than traditional materials and less deformable. Anti-skid effect with an extraordinary grip on the saddle.

Carbon Fibre Reinforced Shell
Nylon with high properties, enriched with a high proportion of long carbon fibre, in order to reinforce the characteristics of rigidity, stiffness and durability without compromising the weight.


About Performance Saddles

Performance saddles are narrower than the models designed for shorter ride comfort. They're intended for riders who have a committed riding style with weight on hands and feet so they're narrower and lighter. High tech padding materials and flexible body designs keep your pressure points comfortable and lightweight chassis components keep the weight down. Most have some kind of ergonomic design to reduce pressure on nerves and allow unrestriced blood flow to your sensitive areas. Womens models have a wider design to suit their naturally wider pelvis. Saddle widths vary across the ranges from narrow (upto 130mm), medium (upto 138mm) to wide (upto 146mm). Narrower saddles are the popular choice for longer distance riders as they do not cause the hips to be placed in an unnatural position. Wider saddles will often feel comfortable initially due to their greater surface area but then progressively decrease in comfort as the miles increase, the correct choice of saddle is a case of getting the balance between initial comfort and overall comfort.
