The anatomical shape of the back and the perineal pressure relief channel, designed to avoid numbness and pain on uneven terrain, are two salient features of both versions.
Another feature in common between the GL and GLM is the square shape of the front padding, which ensures better support when pedaling in an advanced position.
ERGO SHAPE. One of the problems that can occur with a width greater than the traditional one is that the size of the saddle hinders the free movement of the hip joint and the internal muscles of the leg, decreasing the comfort and effectiveness of pedaling. We have overcome this inconvenience by modeling the silhouette of the saddle based on the evidence of in-depth medical and biomechanical research, ensuring that Artax GLM can offer all the necessary support without creating any impediment to pedaling. We smoothed the contours of the saddle with the meticulousness of a craftsman, leaving only what is strictly necessary and functional for comfort and performance.
The proprietary RLS system, a Repente peculiarity, allows you to easily replace the top of the saddle without having to change the supporting structure. p>
The double base of the saddles equipped with this technology offers the advantage, more precious than ever in gravel, of a better absorption of the vertical vibrations transmitted by the ground. p>
The differentiated section rail is made of UD carbon fibre. The body is built using LCF (Long Carbon Fibers) technology, which makes the saddle stiff enough and non-deformable over time.
The padding is in EVA, a lightweight material with high technical properties, thickened in the most delicate support points to maximize comfort even on uneven terrain, both for those who prefer a sitting position more upright, both for those who often use the lower part of the handlebars.
A non-slip material developed by Repente was chosen for the saddle covering, resistant and pleasant to the touch, which does not lose its effectiveness when wet.
