Description

The Mente is our wider saddle for commuters and tourists who might prefer a more upright position. The saddle top is made of thick natural vegetable tanned leather. The bolt assemblies at the rear of the saddle are situated behind the area on which the cyclist sits to avoid damaging the user's pants.

The backplate is made of a strong technically advanced material that is both stable and flexible for maximum comfort. Loops are built in to accommodate a saddle bag. Polished stainless spring steel is used for the rails. These have long parallel sections to give ample room for adjustment. A special tension system adjusted with a 5mm Allen key prevents the nose from twisting. Each saddle is individually marked with an unique serial number etched on the brass washer on top of the nose. The leather density fluctuates between hides so the saddle weight can vary.

Weight: 510g

Manufacturer's note:

Manifesto for natural Leather

We use only the best vegetable tanned, full grain, unaltered leather. Meaning that the grain (top of the saddle) is not sanded or modified, so all the marks and creases on the hide remain visible. We like those marks and refuse any kind of standardization or uniformity but also don´t want to waste such fine material. Our top priority is the mechanical properties of the leather and if there are marks on a perfect piece, we refuse to waste it. Each piece is different and beautifully imperfect, and each will make a unique saddle: yours.
