Astute Skylite Pilagra Vented Carbon Saddle

Astute Skylite Pilagra Vented Carbon Saddle

Even though we'd all like to think of ourselves as youthful examples of flexibility this is often not the case and for those with slightly wider set sit bones Astute have created their Skylite Pilagra Vented Carbon Saddle.

The foundations of the Skylite Pilagra are the Carbon rails, which not only provide a secure lightweight base for the saddle but a stiff, strong and vibration absorbing structure to anchor the saddle to the seatpost.

Also built into the rails and base is the new Shock-Pad-Absorber-System (SPAS). This new patented system is based on two specific shock absorbers being placed between the base and rails. The SPAS system dramatically increases shock and vibration absorption while also eliminating any friction between the rail and the base for a whole new level of comfort.

The base is constructed from a carbon fibre reinforced nylon inner and nylon fibre soft touch outer for top-level rigidity and vibration absorption with a minimised weight penalty.

With its wider style this Skylite Pilagra includes a vent in its design which is intended to alleviate the chafing of your delicate soft tissue as well as reducing the threat of numbness.

For the padding Astute have opted for the luxurious and futuristic Try-Density foam. This foam enhances ergonomic performance and fit by acting in a similar way to memory foam as it conforms to support your sit bones and soft tissue for a lasting feeling of comfort.

Covering the saddle is Future Microfibre. Again, yet another highly advanced material, Future Microfibre is extra-strong and resistant to abrasion while at the same time being supremely soft, breathable and waterproof. It is, in essence, the perfect saddle cover material as it enhances comfort and supports both you and the saddle.

Available in a black colour scheme, the Skylite Pilagra has a sleek and stealthy look that adheres to any bike aesthetic or colour preference so you can get the pro look and feel every time you hit the road.
