ANVL Components Forge Titanium trail saddle


SO GOOD
The Ti-railed Forge is an attempt at creating the ultimate do-anything saddle.

It weighs just 196g courtesy of those rails and lightweight EVA foam yet offers a superb shape and comfort. The Kevlar corners are handy too if you’re a serial saddle scuffer. It’s more of a ‘one position’ saddle for those less inclined to move up the nose on climbs.

NO GOOD
The Forge is on the smaller/harder side, so won’t suit you if you’re looking for something sofa-like. The deep central channel can hold on to dirt on filthy rides. It’s pricey too, though there’s also a cheaper chromoly railed version.

PRICE 180$
