Bontrager Aeolus Elite Road Bike Saddle in Black

A lightweight aero road saddle with a full cut-out using the latest biomechanical research to minimise soft-tissue pressure while maximising power and sustained comfort.

Aeolus Elite brings comfort, power and speed to road riders looking to dig deep and rotate further forward into a more aero road position. It's the go-to race saddle for both men and women who want to get the most out of their aero road bike comfortably. A shorter overall length with a wider nose and full cut-out ensure targeted support that eliminates soft-tissue pressure.

Other Features:

• The all-new Aeolus is a lightweight aero road saddle that uses a full cut-out and the latest biomechanical research to minimise soft-tissue pressure, while maximising power and sustaining comfort.
• Aeolus features a full cutout that uses the latest biomechanical research to eliminate soft tissue pressure and maximise power and sustained comfort for riders in an aero road riding position.
• The split design of the full saddle cut-out extends from the nose through to the rear of the saddle to minimise soft tissue pressure and allow for a more powerful, rotated position.
• Aeolus has a wider nose with a shorter overall length that ensures that the whole saddle is usable and comfortable, whether you’re sitting up on the hoods or hammering in the drops.
• The rails are housed at the very front of the saddle which allows the entire saddle shell to flex and conform to the rider for increased compliance and added comfort.
• Aeolus is designed and tested to work well for a wide range of riders of any body type and gender, and is available in multiple sizes to provide the best individual fit.
• You can get a Blendr accessory mount that attaches securely to the rear of this saddle for clean integration with any Bontrager Flare rear light. There's still enough allowance for a seat pack, as well.
• Aeolus is optimised for the best fit and performance, so it’s slightly shorter than a traditional saddle. When swapping out your old saddle, we suggest starting with an extra 10 mm of setback from the nose and a 2-degree downward tilt.
