Nomad 3D has been designed to eliminate discomfort and pressure, even after many hours in the saddle. The density of the padding is precisely modulated according to the support required by the different anatomical areas: firmer under the ischial bones to ensure comfort and stability, softer at the points of contact with the soft tissues to improve load distribution.
3 zones, 3 types of honeycomb structure
Three intermediate areas with differentiated 3D structure work together to provide the most appropriate support, exactly where it is needed. The cavity of the central anatomical channel, in addition to the rarefied 3D structure, minimizes pressure, preventing numbness and improving blood flow.
High-performance materials: TPU and carbon
The padding is made of TPU, a high-performance material that guarantees elasticity, active rebound and dimensional stability. The saddle responds to your body, absorbs effort, and supports without giving way.
The compression curve is progressive: it reacts to body pressure without collapsing, maintaining support even in the aero position or under heavy loads. The result? Less fatigue, more efficiency.
The rail and shell are made of unidirectional carbon. The finish on the underside of the shell gives the saddle high aesthetic value.
A more durable 3D
The smooth and uniform surface protects the padding from wear, dirt, friction and accidental tears. The saddle is more compact, more durable, does not damage clothing, and allows freer movement. The transparent skin is not a layer applied afterwards: it is created together with the padding, in the same 3D printing process.
180 grams of engineering and style
Lightness and 3D technology often do not go hand in hand. In Nomad 3D, thanks to the strategic use of carbon and TPU, the weight remains low without sacrificing performance and comfort.
RLS: replace only what is needed
The rail and shell in unidirectional carbon are independent and can be replaced separately. Easy maintenance and sustainability: in case of damage, there are lower costs and less waste material.
Ergonomic design studied in every detail
The Close Fit shape reduces ischial pressure, while at the same time keeping the rear support at a higher level than the central section. The Ergo Shape design prevents friction on the inside of the thigh by ergonomically shaping the lateral profile of the saddle.
3D Padding Technology: TPU 3D padding technology
- Differentiated Density & Shape Memory: An engineered 3D structure with variable density at key contact points to optimise pressure relief. Made from advanced, high shape-memory TPU which, combined with the T700 carbon base processed in autoclave with A.R.E. technology, keeps biomechanics and shape unchanged over time.
- Ultralight Architecture: An optimised structure that drastically reduces overall mass, making it significantly lighter than traditional 3D padding on the market.
- Closed-Cell Hygiene System: An engineered sealed surface that keeps out dirt, mud and moisture, making cleaning effortless and preventing odours.
- Seamless Motion Control: A controlled-friction surface layout that eases transitions and movement in the saddle without damaging your shorts.
- Dual-Layer Color Design: A two-layer visual architecture with a coloured core and an elegant transparent skin. What you see is not a graphic: it is the saddle’s 3D structure, visible through the transparent skin.
What the press says
«Managing loads and pressure played a key role: details that Repente, with its new 3D-printed padding, has been able to calibrate with absolute precision.» (translated from Italian)
