Burgtec The Cloud MK2 saddle


At just 266g, The Cloud is competitive on the scales, especially considering the price. It only comes in a single width, which won’t suit everyone, and the firm rather than luxurious padding is better suited to more seasoned riders.

Marks on the chromoly rails and the near-flat profile make it quick and easy to get the saddle feeling comfy. A shallow cutaway in the middle of the foam helps to relieve pressure on your nether regions. While the thin, firm padding on the nose isn’t the comfiest when clawing up steeper pitches, it’s forgiving enough providing you’re not perched there for too long. The sleek looks and neat finish add to its appeal.

Price $52 (chromoly rails)
