A new prominent athlete joins Repente's ambassadors. Matteo Zurlo, Italian gravel champion of the elite category, chose the saddles produced by the Romano d'Ezzelino (Vicenza) company both for competitions with the Italian gravel national team and for road activity with Trevigiani Energiapura Marchiol.
His preference fell on Artax, a saddle used by many competitors, including the Bingoal WB pros, because it combines ergonomics, lightness and resistance to deformation.
Matteo Zurlo has already used Artax in the Gravel World Series test in Sardinia, which he finished in third place despite a gearbox problem.
«With Artax it was love at first sight, I immediately felt comfortable – said the Italian Gravel champion, recently visiting the Repente headquarters -. It is a comfortable and light saddle, the double hull absorbs impacts well. I eliminated some discomfort that runners often have after many hours on the bike and when pedaling for a long time at the tip of the saddle».
Matteo Zurlo will return to gravel competitions on the occasion of some world cup trials with the Italian national team, the Italian championship, the European championship and the world championship, which last year in Pieve di Soligo he finished in 20th place.
«Our technical partnerships with professional cyclists are constantly increasing - he claims Massimo Farronato, CEO of Repente -. Knowing that more and more high-level cyclists consider our products functional to their performance is very gratifying to us. Their feedback, of course, is an important resource for improving ourselves. I am very happy that among our athletes there is also Matteo, an athlete in whom we believe a lot and, moreover, a very nice guy.».
