TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
Our new "Soft" pad
To ensure greater comfort in the saddle, we created this "Soft" chamois pad.
The fabric is soft and breathable. The reinforced zone is soft, with a density of 65 kg/m3 and a thickness of 13mm. This pad ensures comfort during road bike rides of around 1 hour.
Its shape
The shape of the reinforcements (thicker foam area) was defined by tests on a pressure pad. This test, conducted on real cyclists, involves measuring the pressure points exerted on the saddle. We were able to trace the reinforcement area by selecting the points of contact where the pressure was greatest.
The overall shape of the pad was designed by modelists using a mould on a model, and then approved after several trials and use tests.
Reinforced areas
The ischiums are well-covered, and the perineum is also protected. The reinforced area is relatively narrow between the legs to prevent irritation/rubbing while pedalling. Channels have been embossed into the reinforcements to provide greater flexibility.
Care tips
