Description
PRO has updated their saddle line-up with a new approach, called Evolved Ergonomics, which places greater emphasis on riding position in combination with effective saddle width and more appropriate rider contact zones including the saddle top, sides, and rear shaping. As with all saddle systems, the application of theory to actual build is still contingent on rider fit and comfort. Evolved Ergonomics becomes a guide for saddle selection, not a prescription. As such the new Falcon saddle design is optimized for road use, with the most aggressive riding position. The flatter top and sides allow the rider to define a powerful pedaling position, with proper support. Available in 132mm and 142mm widths, the Falcon Team is the high-grade model, with all the materials and construction you'd expect.
The Falcon Team is built with a reinforced carbon shell that maintains it's shape and stiffness over long use for a consistent pedaling platform. It is buttressed and carried by PRO's 7x9mm oval hollow carbon rails, which increase the overall strength and stiffness of the design at the lightest weight feasible. The carbon serves to mitigate road vibration that travels up through the seatpost, so comfort and stiffness exist in tandem. PRO is using a Superlight EVA foam padding for the direct connection the rider, and though the application is thin, it offers an ideal blend of support and comfort while taking he edge off impacts. A PU cover proves the durability of the synthetic polyurethane, as it wears slowly, is waterproof and offers a mild tackiness for grip to hold your riding position.
The flatter top section offers a full length relief channel that is wider in the perineal zone for immediate pressure relief. As the rider sits back into the tail section with hips rotated forward (picture riding in the drops), the saddle platform lifts the sitbone structure, keeping weight off soft tissue, while the channel eliminates nerve pressure as well as allowing air flow from underneath that help to reduce moisture and heat build-up from high exertion. The two sizes, 132mm and 142mm are based on the effective width of the tail and you choose the width that more closely matches previous saddles or a pressure measurement.
