Product Information
Full details
The PRO Griffon CRMO Saddle in 152mm width is designed for adult riders, particularly those who are less flexible and tend to move around on their saddle. Its key benefit is enhanced comfort through an anatomical recess and supportive PU padding, reducing pressure points. A potential caveat is its specific design for riders who adjust their position frequently, which may not suit all riding styles. This saddle features CRMO rails, a durable nylon base, and PU padding, with a flat side profile and rounded rear.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of the anatomical recess?
The anatomical recess is designed to relieve pressure on the perineal area, reducing discomfort and numbness during long rides.
Who is this saddle best suited for?
It is best suited for adult riders who are less flexible, tend to move around on their saddle, and seek pressure relief and comfort.
What are CRMO rails made of?
CRMO rails are made from Chromoly steel, a strong and durable alloy known for its good vibration-damping qualities.
Can I use this saddle on any bike?
Yes, as long as your seatpost clamp is compatible with standard 7mm round saddle rails, which is common on most road and mountain bikes.
How do I choose between the 142mm and 152mm widths?
The choice depends on your sit bone width and riding preference. The 152mm width generally offers more support for wider sit bones or a more upright position, while 142mm suits narrower sit bones.
Is this saddle heavy?
The saddle weighs from 297g, which is a moderate weight. It prioritizes comfort and durability features over ultralight construction.
Troubleshooting
Saddle creaking noise
Ensure saddle rails are clean and properly seated in the seatpost clamp. Lightly grease the rails where they enter the clamp or check clamp bolt tightness.
Discomfort despite adjustments
Verify saddle height, tilt, and fore/aft position are correctly set for your body. The saddle's specific shape may require a different setup than previous saddles. Consider consulting a bike fitter.
PU cover showing wear
Avoid harsh cleaning agents. If wear is minor, it may not affect performance. For significant damage, consider replacement.
