Details
The cutout in the leather top gives an even more comfortable ride releasing pressure on the pudendal nerve and thus reducing risks of saddle sore and genital numbness. Also further shortens the break-in period required.
- Manufactured from thick natural vegetable tanned leather
- Pre-softened to shorten the break-in period
- Bolt assemblies at rear behind sitting area (no risk of damaging cycling shorts or your skin!)
- Backplate made of technical material providing solidity and flexibility for maximum comfort
- Loops for a saddle bag
- Grooves and threaded inserts for a Klick-Fix system
- Easy to disassemble
- Cone-shaped washers fit snuggly into the leather avoiding any risk of damage
- Rails made of polished stainless spring steel
- The rails have relatively long straight part giving saddle setback adjustment
- Patented tension system
- No special tool is required to adjust the tension, 5mm allen key is suitable
- Each saddle has unique serial number etched onto the brass washer on the top of the nose
- Leather density fluctuates between hides so weight may vary (approx. 485g)

Leather stretch?
By Al

New saddle and I've ridden 1,000km (mostly audax). While it's comfortable, I have to increase the saddle tension after every ride (and during the ride a few times) because the leather stretches so much.
Is this much stretch normal for this saddle? I'm concerned that I'll run out of tension bolt before it settles down. It's never gotten wet, btw.

SJS Customer Service:
Leather stretch is normal however this sounds slightly excessive, it might be worth getting in touch with the manufacturer directly to see their opinion of leather stretch.
