FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Superflow cut-out?

The Superflow cut-out is designed to significantly reduce pressure on the perineal area, enhancing comfort during long rides and preventing numbness.

Is this saddle suitable for all types of cycling?

This saddle is primarily designed for road cycling, particularly for competitive riders seeking aerodynamic performance. Its flat profile and firm construction may not be ideal for casual or off-road riding, or for riders who prefer a heavily cushioned saddle.

What are the dimensions of the saddle?

The saddle measures 145mm in width and 250mm in length.

What is the weight of the saddle?

The saddle weighs approximately 170g.

What material is the saddle cover made from?

The saddle features a durable Fibra-Tek cover.

What type of rails does the saddle have?

The saddle has carbon rails with dimensions of +10 mm and a diameter of Ø 7 x 9 mm.

How should I clean this saddle?

Clean the saddle with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Saddle creaks or makes noise

Ensure the seatpost clamp bolts are correctly torqued. Apply a thin layer of carbon paste to the saddle rails where they interface with the clamp. Check for any debris in the clamping mechanism.

Discomfort or numbness during rides

Adjust the saddle's fore/aft position, tilt angle, or height. Ensure the Superflow cut-out is properly aligned to relieve pressure. Consider if the saddle's flat profile is suitable for your riding style and pelvic tilt; a professional bike fit may be beneficial.

Difficulty installing saddle due to clamp size

Verify that your seatpost clamp is specifically designed for 7x9mm oval carbon rails. If not, you may need a compatible seatpost or a seatpost clamp adapter.

Cover seems loose or damaged

Inspect the cover for tears or lifting. If minor, a suitable adhesive might offer a temporary fix. For significant damage, contact the retailer or manufacturer for warranty options, as this could compromise structural integrity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional lightweight construction for improved performance.
  • Durable Fibra-Tek cover ensures longevity.
  • Superflow cut-out enhances comfort during long rides.
  • Flat profile is optimized for aerodynamic positioning.
  • High-quality carbon frame provides stiffness and power transfer.

Cons

  • May be too firm for riders preferring a softer saddle.
  • Flat profile might not suit all riding styles or pelvic tilts.
  • Carbon rails require compatible seatpost clamps.
  • Premium materials may come at a higher price point.
  • Specific dimensions might not fit all rider preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your seatpost is compatible with 7x9mm carbon rails. Most modern seatposts are designed to accommodate this.
  2. Loosen the clamp on your seatpost.
  3. Carefully slide the saddle rails into the clamp, ensuring they are seated evenly.
  4. Adjust the saddle fore/aft position and tilt angle to your preferred riding position. Use a torque wrench to tighten the clamp bolts to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification (typically 5-7 Nm for carbon rails) to avoid damage.

Compatibility:

  • Rails: Compatible with seatposts designed for 7x9mm carbon oval rails.
  • Riding Style: Best suited for riders with an anterior pelvic tilt and those seeking an aerodynamic position.

Care:

  • Clean the saddle regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the Fibra-Tek cover and graphics.
  • Periodically check the torque on your seatpost clamp bolts.
  • Store the bike in a dry place to prevent prolonged exposure to moisture, which can affect carbon components over time.
