Velocite SCS full carbon saddle


SCS stands for soft carbon shell. The carbon is indeed soft in comparison to the old style and other brand carbon shell saddles that are completely rigid. The naked, hard carbon saddles have a somewhat limited appeal since there isn’t that much margin for error in terms of fit. The hard carbon shell is either a comfortable shape for you or it is not. The allure of naked carbon shell saddles is their low weight, and in this aspect as well Velocite SCS does very well too. It weighs just 113g – actual weight, with decals and lacquer.

With the Velocite SCS, you have an increased chance that the saddle will fit you since the shell is not rock hard, it is malleable to an extent. The closest comparator to the malleability of the SCS carbon shell is a leather Brooks saddle before it has been broken in – ie. it is hard, but it does deflect somewhat. This small degree of malleability or deflection makes all the difference when it comes to increasing your chance that the saddle will fit you.
 

This degree of softness also increases the general comfort of the saddle since it acts to eliminate harsher road bumps or irregularities. An additional and truly special item that further increases the comfort of this saddle to beyond that of many standard padded saddles is that the carbon saddle rails are suspended on the leaf spring at the rear.
 

Take a closer look here:

The rails are not directly attached to the shell, they are attached to a super strong carbon “bridge” which is actually an old fashioned, but hugely effective leaf spring. This spring acts to help isolate you from the road buzz and to absorb the truly harsh road imperfections. This technology is simply amazing.
 

The rails are oversize elliptical carbon and fit most saddle clamps that take the standard 7mm rails. They are friction treated so the saddle will stay securely clamped without the need for excessive clamping force.
 

The last and truly effective feature is the perineal cutout. To relieve the pressure on the perineum, the Velocite SCS has a large cutout. This feature not only increases long term comfort and health, but it also improves the all important ventilation which can be very limited with solid carbon shells.

             Rails: 7mm elliptical solid carbon fiber, suspended on the rear
             Size: width 136mm, length 255mm
