F3 Edition Lupina Saddle
Regular price $329.95We have proudly partnered with Berk Composites to offer this F3 edition Lupina saddle. Berk is based in Slovenia where they produce handmade carbon saddles. They are a small, independent company that is growing rapidly in Europe with the most discerning of cyclists. Now available in North America exclusively through F3 Cycling. The first mass-produced product is a leather-covered carbon saddle weighing in at a mere 95g. This is made possible by the highly resilient carbon and aramid fibers molded into a saddle body to create a full carbon road bicycle saddle. The saddle rails are also made from string carbon cord. The saddle body has an ergonomic shape, with a cut-out starting in the central part to reduce pressure in the perineal area. At the same time, the blanket flexes noticeably to generate additional comfort. If you’re in search of a saddle that is as lightweight as it is comfortable and of course, aesthetically worthy of your bike, look no further than the Lupina.
NOTE: Saddle not eligible for promotional discounts.
Lupina is a longer saddle and thanks to the special carbon construction, it creates saddle flex allowing for body movement for more different positions during your ride. This makes it the ideal for riders with wider hips who search for good stability using different riding positions. The cutout in the center prevents pressure on the perineum. A t-shape creates space on the saddle nose in all riding positions and prevents most of the friction while pedaling. The center of the saddle is moved slightly backwards and is suitable for riders to comfortably distribute contact on the sitting bones. The rear part is slightly curved providing support on the back of the saddle.
