Product Information
Full details
The SDG Ti-Fly Storm Saddle is engineered for serious cyclists—ranging from road racers to World Cup downhill competitors—who demand a lightweight, minimalist platform that maintains control in any weather. Its primary benefit is a high strength-to-weight ratio provided by its honeycomb core and Ti-Alloy rails, though its narrow, stiff design may feel unforgiving to casual riders looking for plush, long-distance comfort.

What is the weight of the saddle?
The SDG Ti-Fly Storm weighs approximately 215g.
What material is the cover made of?
It features a seamless, weather-resistant gripper cover designed to provide stability in adverse conditions.
Are the rails compatible with all seatposts?
The rails use industry-standard dimensions compatible with the vast majority of bicycle seatposts on the market.
Troubleshooting
Saddle creaking during rides
Check the seatpost clamp torque and apply a small amount of anti-seize or grease to the rail contact points.
Surface feels too slippery when dry
The micro-injected knobs are designed for wet grip; ensure you are using proper cycling apparel to maximize traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the SDG Ti-Fly Storm is straightforward, as the Ti-Alloy rails are compatible with most standard seatpost clamps, including side-load and bottom-load rail designs. When installing, ensure the clamp is tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque to avoid damaging the rails. For care, the weather-resistant cover is designed to shed water and debris; simply wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap after rides. Avoid using harsh solvents or high-pressure washers directly on the rail junction to maintain the structural integrity of the base.
