SDG Circuit Mtn Ti-Alloy saddle


With a fairly conservative design, the Circuit Mtn has no unnecessary padding or weight, but many testers found it very comfortable. The shape is fairly flat, with a pretty deep channel down the middle to take all the pressure off your sensitive parts. Your weight is held by the firm padding on either side, which we found worked well with a chamois, but felt a little too firm without. The saddle really benefits from being tilted downwards at the nose, which aids comfort and support when pedalling uphill. Because the pressure-relief channel extends into the fairly broad nose, it’s particularly forgiving on steep scrambles. The low-profile upper delivers a direct feel when pedalling hard and makes it easy to move fore and aft on gnarly descents. It’s pretty light too.
