These Ritchey seatpost clamp saddle clamps are necessary in order to assemble saddles with carbon rails of 7x9.6mm and 8x8.5mm on the Ritchey alloy 1-bolt seatpost and on the "Stubby" seatpost.
This model's long, thin profile, flat support areas and large centre cut-out helps cyclists of any height to sit comfortably and pedal efficiently on long rides. The unbeatable flexibility of the Selle Italia SLR Superflow saddle reduces pelvic zone pressure and prevents perspiration build-up.
Like the other Performance Narrow saddles, the PN 1.0 is 110mm wide, offering superb thigh and hamstring clearance. This allows for more rider body movement around the seat, and is great for diving into fast corners. Like all ISM saddles, the PN 1.0 is nose-less and designed to remove pressure from soft tissue, ensuring maximum blood flow, no genital numbness, and a healthier, more enjoyable ride.
Every base is injected with nylon glass fibre which provides optimal weight and strength savings and is constructed with a dominate base bridge. This bridge allows for ultimate stiffness, resulting in superior power transfer with each pedal stroke. To combat the structural firmness, each Circuit incorporates a Lightweight EVA foam. The Circuit MTN delivers relief through a hidden under-cut and is then assembled with a dual panel, double stitched cover. With a durable microfibre material top and bulletproof Kevlar side panels, the Circuit MTN delivers at all levels.
All of the PL saddles are a full 270mm long, and allow for superb fore-aft rider movement. The rear measures 135mm wide – adding support for those that like to roll their hips back while climbing. Like all ISM saddles, the PL 1.0 is nose-less and designed to remove pressure from soft tissue, ensuring maximum blood flow, no genital numbness, and a healthier, more enjoyable ride.
Similar to the brand's other Performance Short saddles, this product features a slight upward slope at the rear - providing superb hip support when your body is rotated forward in the aero position, or an aggressive road riding position. This tends to be preferred by athletes that don't move around on the seat excessively while riding. It is also a top choice for triathletes and time trialists who ride in the aero bars, or for flat courses in which the athlete likes to ‘settle in’ to one position and go. Like all of this company's seats, the ISM PS 1.0 Titanium Saddle is nose-less and designed to remove pressure from soft tissue, ensuring maximum blood flow, no genital numbness and a healthier, more enjoyable ride.
This road bike saddle dampens shocks and vibrations for supreme fluid comfort, while its Ozone channel provides increased pressure relief. Coming equipped with rear reflective logos, this model provides added safety at night or in low light conditions.
The front arms of the PN 1.1 feature a contoured downward slope. This can aid in allowing the rider to roll their hips forward for high power output, or for increased comfort with a high amount of saddle-to-handlebar drop. ISM’s winning design allows for increased hip rotation, thus decreasing a rider’s aerodynamic drag and opens the diaphragm for easier breathing. Riders report an increase in wattage due to the more aggressive positioning of the ISM PN 1.1 saddle, and its loped front arms provide extra relief to the superficial perineal space. From the start gate to the finish line, you will slice through the competition. Please read the ISM installation instructions
This is thanks to the combination of CarboKeramic rails, extra padding, the composite shell and the durable cover made from their Fibra-Tek material.
Tirox Rails These rails are manufactured from light alloy steel and are highly resistant to friction and movement. They're also lightweight and offer a good balance between weight and strength coping with the normal stresses found when on a bike very well. CPC - Connect Power Control CPC is the system (Air Cooling, Grip and Position, Vibration and Shock Absorption) studied and patented by Prologo. Placed in clever points to absorb vibrations and shocks, it also helps the rider to keep the best position on the bike by ensuring the necessary grip in all weather conditions. CPC allows increased air flow under the rider, wicking away both heat and sweat while improving comfort and performance in all conditions. CPC is 100% waterproof and wear resistant for long lasting durability. Also, CPC, with its Nano-structures, protects your muscles and tendons against soft tissue stress and discomfort reducing fatigue and improving recovery time. PAS Technology PAS technology (perineal area system) eliminates pressure spikes and numbness in the pelvic area. The PAS system is achieved thanks to a particular shape of the foam mold that leaves the base intact and ensures the saddle remains unchanged over time. PAS technology works like a classic hole in the saddle, reducing pressure, but with the advantage of remaining unaltered when in use. This ensures a continuity of the pelvis movement even after many kilometres whilst in the saddle. The final result is optimum comfort and performance.
Bel-Air saddles are the modern classics providing ultimate comfort, support and control. The Bel-Air uses a resilient polypropylene base that allows extra flex on the edges through each pedal stroke and incorporates a base bridge for stiffness and ideal power transfer. The Bel-Air uses a mid-density PU foam, and is strategically designed with a rear rise which helps rotate the pelvis forward and can provide extra support for one who likes to use the saddle's Optimal Rideable Area (ORA). The Bel-Air incorporates a 3/4 cut design for perennial relief. The Bel-Air series features a nose platform, providing greater surface area control and power transfer, as well as being designed with a down curved nose for moving forward on the saddle on seated climbs or in an aggressive forward riding position.
