Saddles

The Trailmaster LTD features our unique top grain Imported Leather, richly oiled and embossed. Building on the Trailmaster’s legacy, it features the same medium size platform and a rounded uninterrupted perimeter that is easy to get behind and move around without any sharp, snaggy edges. The heavy-stock leather adds a degree of firmness and an aspect of all-weather durability that is unmatched in standard leather tops. The LTD features medium/firm density foam with an extra thick nose for technical climbing and “body english”. A flat sitting area with a central relief promotes sitting on your bones. This saddle is mounted atop Chromoly rails.

Seated pressure relief for male road cyclists. Flat contour, yet still comfortably padded. The overall shape and the relief channel with its deep cut-out perfectly match the male anatomy in a low, forward-tilted riding position typical of road cycling. The highly sensitive perineal area is effectively unloaded, preventing any discomfort. OrthoCell Inlays in the seating area generate the best possible pressure distribution. The innovative OrthoCell material ensures maximum reset forces and is also more durable and lighter than gel.

Ergon’s SR Sport Gel is the company’s breakthrough innovation in a women’s specific road bike saddle design. It’s shape and relief precisely fit the female anatomy in the rocked-forward position that is experienced on the road and gravel. The soft-tissue and seating area is noticeably more comfortable due to the ergonomically placed gel inlays.

GRAVITA ALPACA X5 is a gravity mountain bike saddle that gives you the control you need for fast, aggressive downhill riding. This Gravita version of the Alpaca saddle is the result of close collaboration with team Santa Cruz Syndicate's riders and mechanics. Its World-Cup-proven features perfectly complement gravity oriented bikes, from long-travel enduro to pure downhill. You might not spend much time sitting on your saddle when riding fast down mountains, but the right set-up is still vital if you love fast, rowdy riding but want to stay in full control. Gravita Alpaca's rounded contours allow smooth, fast movements of the inner legs as you guide your bike down the hill. Flexible edges along the wings and rear end protect your inner legs from bruising, however rough the ride. And less bulk and a shorter length allow for more suspension travel. However much you enjoy the descents, you'll still need to pedal to reach the top of the mountain. Gravita Alpaca's flat surface allows continuous changes of position from fore to aft. And the nose is wide and flat, so as you shimmy forward to maintain traction when tackling steep climbs, you have a solid platform to push against. Rugged conditions and aggressive riding require solid solutions, that's why all Alpaca saddles feature Mobius, our proprietary closed-loop rail design, for added strength and weight distribution, making snapped saddle rails on heavy landings a thing of the past. - Dimensions: 251 x 130mm - Weight: 216g - Height at 75mm width: 40mm - Length from nose to 75mm width: 130mm - Rail: 7 x 7mm - Alpaca: a smooth-edged shape that combines support and riding control for dropper post-use - X5: a combination of a ride-compliant carbon-reinforced nylon shell and an S-Alloy rail - Mobius rail: closed-loop design for added strength and weight distribution - Co-injected elastic wing panels that flex upon impact

VENTO ARGO R5 is a performance racing saddle with a short-nose design that improves stability and allows for a more aggressive, aero riding position. Where a traditional saddle shape encourages riders to shift their position frequently for better leverage, Argo puts the rider in a more planted position, making for greater stability and better weight distribution. Vento Argo's short length allows the rider to sit further forward without placing undue pressure on sensitive tissues. It also features an ergonomic cutout that was developed using detailed pressure analysis and input from medical experts. Argo is our most versatile saddle shape and each version suits different riding styles. As the racing option, Vento Argo has been engineered to deliver a riding feel that suits race bikes with aggressive geometry. The padding is made from fizik's proprietary Type 1 foam formulation, which has a lower profile and is reactive and springy for instantaneous response and optimal power transfer. The purposeful shape of its design helps you achieve a better riding posture: the dropped nose supports the pubic ramus when the pelvis rotates forward to add power or to get more aero. Argo is a product of the Fizik Concepts program, a cross-disciplinary collaboration of leading industry experts and academics carrying out research and analysis on technology, design, physiology, and bike-fitting in search of ways to improve cycling performance. - Vento: Performance racing series designed in collaboration with professional cyclists - Argo: versatile short nose saddle that encourages stability and reliefs pressure on soft tissue area - R5: a combination of a ride compliant carbon-reinforced nylon shell and an S-Alloy rail - Type 1 foam: low-profile, reactive and springy for efficient power transfer - Vento Argo R5 regular 140mm - road bike saddle SPECIFICATIONS: VENTO ARGO R5 140mm - Length: 265mm - Width: 140mm - Weight: 225g - Height at 75mm width: 45mm - Length from nose to 75mm width: 114mm - Rail: 7 x 7mm - Vento Argo R5 large 150mm - road cycling saddle SPECIFICATIONS: VENTO ARGO R5 150mm - Length: 265mm - Width: 150mm - Weight: 232g - Height at 75mm width: 45mm - Length from nose to 75mm width: 114mm - Rail: 7 x 7mm
