SDG Circuit MTN: Ti-Alloy trail saddle


SO GOOD
The relatively light (217g) Circuit is SDG’s all-rounder offering. Originally a road design, off-road refinements make the MTN version an option for everything from all-day enduros to DH use.

The channel down the centre relieves pressure where you don’t want pressure and helps temper the firm feel of the padding. The 135mm width makes it ideal for the smaller-hipped.

NO GOOD
The textured finish looks pretty but the little recessed logos can harbour shorts-wrecking grit. By far the hardest seat on test, the Circuit MTN won’t suit all behinds, but those who dig a firmer feel will happily reap the weight rewards

PRICE 105$
