One saddle, two versions

Inspired by the unit of measurement of power, this saddle is available in two versions.

On the one hand, Watt Kit Carbon Superflow with carbon rail for the pursuit of maximum performance and for another Watt Gel Superflow with TI316 rail and a layer of gel inside the padding - at the front - for greater comfort in the saddle.

Both saddles have a Superflow center hole and are available in a single size (U3) idmatch.

The structure of the Watt saddle presents a rail (the frame under the seat on which the seatpost is attached) with 10 millimeters more compared to traditional saddles, this to allow a more precise adjustment of the chrono position.

The details that make the difference

With indications from professional athletes who have collaborated in the development of the Watt saddle, they guarantee a high seat stability and allow increased pedaling efficiency,.

The front of Watt has been lengthened by 50 millimeters and the saddle 'cover' features High Grip material, which features a anti-slip function.

The ideal seating point, where the saddle measures 133mm long, has been moved further back to allow for greater seat dimensioning and increase comfort in the push phase.

Also has rubber (Rack Rubber Insert) at the bottom of the front that coincides with the fulcrum of the bike on the brackets in the gearbox.

One stand, easily recognizable by the color red in the Kit Carbon Superflow and gray for Watt Gel Superflow, which makes the support secure and at the same time protects the saddle from impact.

235 grams of weight

A detail that should not be overlooked is its weight, since the Superflow Carbon Kit version weighs only 200 grams, the TI316 - Watt Gel Superflow - weighs 235 grams.
