Repente Artax GL Saddle

All set for day-long adventures exploring countryside backroads, this gravel bike saddle comes equipped with a special non-slip, water-based microfibre cover, which is just as effective when wet. This makes it more than capable of keeping you supported as you clock up the miles on demanding mixed terrain conditions. Repente has also kitted out this model with a carbon shell and unidirectional (UD) carbon fibre rails for an excellent balance of stiffness and durability, without adding any unnecessary excess grams to your ride. Coming complete with super-lightweight EVA foam padding and a range of performance-enhancing technologies such as a central relief channel, this is a perfect choice of upgrade for conquering your next gravel ride.

Gravel Bike Saddle with Carbon Fibre Rails

Repente was among the first manufacturers to create saddles with specific anatomical and ergonomic features for gravel riding. The brand analysed cyclist postures, the environments in which gravel bike riding takes place, the geometries of the frames and the design of the bike components. In addition to this, their R&D department has relied on valuable collaboration by today’s top-performing athletes (Repente is the official sponsor to the Rodeolabs Pro Gravel Team and Alta Marca Gravel).

This study has led to Artax GL, a non-deformable reinforced carbon fibre saddle with all the qualities required to make a gravel biker happy. Given the pedalling position, which is more vertical than on a racing bike, Repente has perfected the design and increased the thickness of the padding, without however affecting in any way the slender, stylish design of the saddle.

Central Relief Channel and Curved Tip Profile

The rear part ensures comfortable support for the rider even after many hours, while the central anatomical opening effectively relieves any pressure on the perineal area. The shape of the front minimises friction on the leg and allows maximum freedom of movement. Thanks to the curved tip profile, cyclists can pedal standing up and then go back to the sitting position seamlessly.

Gravel is fun, relaxation, exploration: get ready to enjoy this new, breakthrough cycling experience with Repente Artax GL.

Please note: Make sure your seatpost clamp is suitable for 7x9mm rails. The Repente Artax GL Saddle’s carbon rails measure 7x9mm, so the seatpost clamp must accommodate this configuration. Please make sure that your bike has a seatpost clamp suitable for this measurement: the traditional 7mm clamp for round rails will not work.
