THE BARE ESSENTIALS
High Performance. Low Weight.
No Compromises.

Engineered for long, fast days over varied terrain, R1 Light construction combines a carbon-reinforced nylon shell with ultra-stiff carbon rails and the low-profile, reactive cushioning of our coverless EVA padding. The result is a versatile saddle range that reduces weight without sacrificing comfort or support.

OBJECTIVE: ULTRALIGHT

Thanks to the coverless EVA padding and its lower density, the new R1 Light saddle range is 17% lighter than what came before. This new construction saves weight while upholding the same high degree of durability.

Its slip-free surface enhances stability and overall pedaling efficiency.
