FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the 3D printing technology used in this saddle?

The 3D printing technology allows for a multi-sector system where different zones of the saddle have varying densities and elasticity, providing targeted support and comfort precisely where it's needed during the pedal stroke.

Is this saddle suitable for beginners?

While suitable for all levels, beginners may need more time to adapt to the performance-oriented design. The focus is on support and efficiency, which might feel different from a more padded, recreational saddle.

How does the PAS system improve comfort?

The PAS (Perineal Area System) is an open channel designed to reduce pressure peaks and eliminate numbness in the perineal area, enhancing blood flow and long-distance comfort for cyclists.

What type of cycling is this saddle best suited for?

It is a multi-disciplinary saddle designed for road, gravel, and endurance cycling, offering a balance of comfort and performance across these disciplines.

What are the dimensions and weight of the saddle?

The saddle dimensions are 250x140mm, and it weighs approximately 209g.

What material is the rail made of, and is it durable?

The rail is made of TiroX Light Alloy Steel, which offers a remarkable equilibrium between weight and strength, along with enhanced comfort and superior vibration absorption.

How should I clean and maintain the saddle?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. Dry thoroughly. Periodically check its secureness.

Troubleshooting

Saddle feels uncomfortable after initial setup

Allow for an adjustment period of a few rides. Fine-tune saddle height, tilt, and fore/aft position. Ensure correct cleat placement on cycling shoes.

Numbness or pressure during rides

Verify the saddle is not tilted too far forward or backward. Adjust saddle height if necessary. The PAS system is designed to alleviate this; ensure it is correctly positioned relative to your sit bones.

Saddle rail clamp is slipping

Ensure the seatpost clamp bolts are tightened to the correct torque specification. If the clamp shows wear, consider replacing the seatpost clamp or saddle itself if the rails are damaged.

Noise coming from the saddle area

Check that the saddle is securely fastened to the seatpost. Inspect the seatpost clamp for any debris or wear. Sometimes, saddle rail friction can cause noise; a small amount of carbon paste (if applicable) or grease on the rails where they meet the clamp might help, but ensure it doesn't compromise grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Provides tailored support and comfort through its zoned 3D printed structure.
Effectively reduces pressure and numbness in the perineal area for long-distance riding.
Offers good lumbar support due to its rounded profile.
Durable and lightweight construction with vibration-dampening properties from the TiroX rail.
Suitable for multiple cycling disciplines, including road and gravel.

Cons

May require an adjustment period for riders unfamiliar with its specific shape and support zones.
The 3D printed surface may require specific cleaning methods to maintain its integrity.
High-performance focus might not suit riders prioritizing maximum plushness over support.
The TiroX rail, while strong, may not offer the same ultimate lightness as carbon rails.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Prologo Scratch M5 PAS 3DMSS saddle is designed to be compatible with standard seatpost clamp systems found on most bicycles. Ensure your seatpost clamp is compatible with the TiroX rail dimensions. Mount the saddle to your seatpost, adjusting the tilt and fore/aft position to achieve optimal comfort and pedaling efficiency. It is recommended to use a torque wrench to tighten the seatpost clamp bolts to the manufacturer's specifications to avoid over-tightening or slippage.

Compatibility: This saddle is compatible with road, gravel, and mountain bike seatposts that accept standard rail diameters. The TiroX rail is constructed from light alloy steel.

Care: To clean the saddle, use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the 3D printed surface. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Periodically check the saddle rail and seatpost clamp for secureness.
