SADDLE: SDG I-Flex™
The traditional saddle rail design has been with us for decades and while it works well enough, it does have distinct limitations when it comes to weight, price, and strength. A leader in the high-end saddle market, SDG originally developed the revolutionary I-Beam™ saddle system to meet the needs of hard-core free riders who were always breaking their traditional railed saddles. The I-Beam™ system replaces traditional saddle rails with a single carbon-composite beam. An unforeseen benefit was a dramatic reduction in weight: the wide and well-padded saddle that we use weighs only 200 grams, lighter than many Ti rail saddles. Other benefits include 200% more fore-aft adjustment to fit a wider range of riders, and super simple one bolt adjustment. Working with SDG we've developed the I-Flex saddle - a comfortable yet super light saddle w/ a MojoGroove center channel that reduces pressure on soft tissues. A Dahon exclusive.
