Syncros Tofino R SL Channel Carbon Saddle

The Tofino R, Syncros's best road bike saddle, features the latest carbon construction for the SL (Super Light) version. You would normally pay twice as much for this kind of technology and get half the comfort. See for yourself and take a look at Nino Schurter's bike! The regular saddle suits most cyclists and is characterised by an upright riding position, closer to the centre than the rear of the saddle. These cyclists sit mainly on the ischial tuberosity and therefore mainly use the widest part of the saddle.

The Tofino R SL features carbon fibre rails for the lowest possible weight. The Channel version focuses on a wider contact area, aiming to reduce pressure points while still allowing contact with the saddle. The saddle was developed in collaboration with an internationally renowned bike fitting company.
