Designed and built in Italy, the new NOMAD full carbon saddle from Repente aims to combine comfort and performance for consumers.
The Italian saddle specialist points out that… ‘Versatility is one of its strengths: its dimensions and design make it suitable for both road and off-road cycling, and it adapts well to the anatomical shape of female riders.’
Priced at €279, Nomad is a ‘smart’ sized saddle, measuring 260mm in length and 142mm in width. The close fit shape reduces ischial pressure while maintaining elevated support at the rear, thanks to a deep anatomical channel that relieves pressure in the central area.
Repente adds that the T700 carbon shell, processed in an autoclave, is non-deformable over time and offers ‘the right amount of flexibility’. The lightweight and durable UD carbon rail features an elliptical 7×9 mm section.
To eliminate the risk of inner thigh chafing, an ergo shape design has been applied. The lightweight EVA padding is covered in a non-slip PU material.
Nomad is equipped with RLS technology: the pad and shell are independent and can be replaced individually in case of damage (helping with less cost and less waste).
