SAEVID saddle Alien Short Carbon
With this saddle, the Spaniards have almost exhausted the limits of what is technically feasible. The Alien Short almost defies gravity at less than 75 g.
It is nevertheless a fully-fledged seat and beyond all doubt. The saddlecloth is made of 3K carbon mats and reinforced with aramid fibers in the areas subject to greater stress. The frame is also made entirely of carbon. However, unidirectional carbon fibers are used here to maximize stiffness and stability.
Anyone who sits in the saddle for a long time naturally also expects a certain level of comfort. The material is able to soften stronger vibrations and thus protects you in the long term. In addition, all edges have been rounded so that no painful chafing can occur and your cycling shorts do not wear out prematurely. The recess in the seat effectively relieves the sensitive perineal area.
To ensure the highest quality, Saevid manufactures its saddles by hand and hardens them in what is known as an "autoclave". This improves strength and produces an excellent surface finish.
Despite the low weight, the Alien Short is approved for mountain bikers weighing up to 85 kg and racing cyclists weighing up to 95 kg. The shortened saddle length also makes it interesting for triathletes and time trialists.
