FAQs

What makes the rail fixing system innovative?

The rail is fixed at the rear of the saddle, which frees up space in front and under the saddle, relieving pressure on the ischial and perineal areas.

How does the saddle provide shock absorption?

It features integrated shock absorbers placed between the saddle frame and the body, which absorb impacts from rough terrain.

Is this saddle suitable for road cycling?

While comfortable, its design is optimized for off-road, enduro, and eMTB use. For pure road cycling, other models might offer a more tailored performance.

Can I adjust the saddle position significantly?

Yes, the saddle features a longer rail design (10mm longer) than standard, allowing for greater adjustability in saddle positioning.

What is the purpose of the fill cover?

The fill cover is designed to prevent dirt, mud, and water from splashing upwards onto the rider's shorts, helping to keep them cleaner.

What types of riding is this saddle best for?

It is ideal for off-road, enduro, and eMTB riders who prioritize comfort and stability over rugged and challenging terrain.

How should I clean the saddle?

Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaning chemicals, as they can damage the saddle material.

Troubleshooting

Saddle feels uncomfortable

Ensure the saddle is properly positioned fore/aft and at the correct height. Experiment with slight tilt adjustments. Verify the rail fixing system is secure.

Excessive vibration felt

Check that the integrated shock absorbers are properly seated and that the saddle is securely clamped to the seatpost.

Dirt splashes onto shorts

Ensure the fill cover is correctly in place and free from obstruction. This feature is designed to minimize splashing but may not eliminate it entirely in extreme conditions.
