$29.96
Description
Gravelier Saddle: engineered for Endurance & Speed
Anatomically Optimized Design
The Gravelier’s contoured shape hugs sit bones with precision-engineered curves, reducing pressure by 40% during forward-leaning gravel rides (tested via biomechanical pressure mapping). Its 246mm compact profile expands strategically behind the nose, granting 15mm more lateral space than standard gravel saddles for hip rotation during technical descents.
Dynamic Support System
– Perineal Relief Channel: Patented hourglass cutout maintains 90% blood flow to sensitive areas during 8+ hour rides (vs. 60% in flat saddles)
– FusionCore™ Base: 3D fiber-infused nylon absorbs 68% more road vibration than carbon competitors while transferring 92% pedal force (ASTM-certified stiffness)
– Adaptive Rail System: Extended clamping zone allows ±25mm fore/aft adjustment – 2x more range than conventional gravel saddles
Gravel-Specific Innovations
✓ Nose bolster distributes pressure during sprint attacks
✓ ToolTrack™ rail mounts (compatible with Topeak Morph/Seatpost bags)
✓ Variable flex zones: 15% rear compliance vs. rigid front platform
