The new saddles in this range are comparatively short; their special Shortfit geometry is recognisable by the rounded profile. The Bow Rail System allows the frame to flex around the struts and absorbs micro-shocks. Shock absorbers in the saddle body filter out high-frequency vibrations.
The Sport model as an entry-level option
The Shortfit Allroad Sport features steel struts and is aimed at beginners in the gravel cycling sector. The design is intended to provide stability on a variety of surfaces. Prices start at around 90 euros.
Racing with Xsilite struts
The Racing model features a carbon-fibre-reinforced nylon shell and Xsilite struts. This combination is designed for riders who prefer faster gravel rides and technical terrain. The saddle costs around 190 euros.
Supercomfort Racing for endurance racing
The top-of-the-range Supercomfort Racing model incorporates gel into the padding. This technology is designed to reduce pressure peaks at contact points and absorb repeated impacts on unpaved routes. Xsilite struts are also used here. The price is 190 euros. All three models are available in sizes S and L.
