Full details
The Prologo Scratch M5 140 CPC Nack is a versatile black saddle for adult cyclists seeking enhanced comfort and performance. Its key benefit lies in the innovative MSS Multi Section System, which intelligently supports natural pedaling and absorbs vibrations for a smoother ride. A potential caveat is its specific size (250x140mm) which may require a brief adjustment period for some riders. This saddle features a round shape for stability and lumbar support, active foam in five distinct zones, and is ideal for both MTB and Road cycling disciplines.

FAQs
What makes the MSS Multi Section System unique?
The MSS system divides the saddle's active foam into five distinct zones that work independently to support natural pedaling motion and absorb vibrations more effectively than traditional saddle designs.
Is this saddle suitable for long-distance cycling?
Yes, the ergonomic design, vibration absorption, and stable round shape are specifically intended to enhance comfort during long rides for both road and MTB cycling.
What is the primary benefit of the round shape?
The round shape provides enhanced stability and lumbar support, distributing pressure over a larger area to reduce discomfort and fatigue.
What type of cycling is this saddle best suited for?
The Prologo Scratch M5 140 CPC Nack is versatile and recommended for both Mountain Bike (MTB) and Road cycling.
How do I clean the saddle?
Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the saddle's surface or CPC material.
What does 'CPC' stand for in the product name?
While not detailed in the provided product information, CPC typically refers to Prologo's 'Connect Power Control' technology, designed to enhance grip and comfort by providing small suction cups on the saddle surface.
What are the dimensions of this saddle?
The saddle measures 250mm in length and 140mm in width.
Troubleshooting
Saddle feels uncomfortable after initial setup.
Allow a break-in period of a few rides. Fine-tune saddle height, fore/aft position, and tilt angle. Ensure the 140mm width is suitable for your riding style.
Rails creak after installation.
Apply a small amount of carbon friction paste (if applicable to your seatpost) to the saddle rails and inside the seatpost clamp. Ensure all bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications.
CPC material appears worn.
This is generally normal wear over time. Minor wear does not typically affect performance. Clean gently with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
