- Monocoque base with variable thickness, made of nylon with carbon injections, to resist shocks and better absorb vibrations on the roughest terrain.
- Semi-round shape and compact size, with a length of 250mm and a width of 145mm to allow greater freedom of movement and not hinder the rider's movements.
- Grip Cover in the rear part of the saddle, to increase the grip between the legs and the saddle when riding downhill, in any weather condition.
- MSS – Multi Sector System different zones mapped and separated on the saddle each composed of different interactive foams and separate single cell padding. The "islands" work autonomously by adapting to all the positions that the cyclist can assume during the ride.
