Why Gravelier Outperforms Standard Saddles:
| Specification | Gravelier | Typical Gravel Saddle |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | 310g | ~380g |
| Vibration Dampening | 68% | ~40% |
| Pressure Relief Area | 28cm² | ~18cm² |
| Rail Compatibility | All MTB standards (Thomson/IS/ITM) | Limited options |
The anatomically contoured shape distributes weight evenly across sit bones during extended climbs or descents on mixed surfaces. Specialized nose padding maintains secure contact during sprint finishes or technical sections – ideal for riders averaging >20mph on mixed terrain.”
