Description
The ultralight saddle for triathlon and TT
The Repente Magnet is the ultimate Triathlon/TT saddle for men and women. Finding and maintaining your perfect saddle position has never been so easy.
Width: All Repente saddles take into account the conventional anatomical centre to position and shape:
1) The best point of contact of the ischium bones (sit bones) for comfort and ideal the position for performance.
2) The outline shape of the front of the saddle to give freedom of movement to the legs.
With Latus and Magnet models the wider back gives increased support to those who want it but is never a hindrance to the movement of the thighs (a problem of some "wide seats").
The Magnet saddle is made specifically for the aero riding position (Time Trial / Triathlon / Track), where the athlete uses much more the front of the saddle and leans on their "tender parts".
The nose of the Magnet has a more important function because it has to sustain the rider comfort. This Magnet’s nose larger, with a thick padding and but still with a relevant anatomical channel.
Because the normal sitting position is more forward, the wider nose width does not give any discomfort.
The Magnet’s surface coating is in three parts, each made of a specific material that helps maintain the best position on the saddle. Repente call this Position Control, hence the name of the saddle, allowing the rider to move when they want and maintain power output.
PLEASE NOTE:
MAKE SURE YOUR SEATPOST CLAMP IS SUITABLE FOR 7X9 MM RAILS
The Repente carbon rails measure 7x9 mm, so the seatpost clamp must accommodate this configuration.
Please make sure that your bike has a seatpost clamp suitable for this measurement: the traditional 7mm clamp for round rails will not work.
Features
AUTOCLAVE RESISTANCE ENHANCEMENT
Repente was able to trim the weight down to 135g – creating the entire structure by autoclave processing, that ensures a more compact and uniform Carbon Fibre texture, enhancing the mechanical properties of the material as no other machining process can do.
POSITION CONTROL
The Magnet is shaped to be anatomical and ergonomic, it's also been designed to adapt to the female body shape. The wide central anatomical channel guarantees comfort, especially in the most aerodynamic position, when the width of the seat tip provides the cyclist with all the necessary support.
Both the rail and the shell are made of high-modulus unidirectional Carbon Fibre.
Repente launched a differential section rail to take into account the differences in the distribution of forces along the longitudinal and transverse axes of the saddle. The length of the rail allows for clamp fixing over a longer travel.
The padding is made of EVA, a high-performance material. The Poly-Urethane (PU) cover material is coupled to a special high-grip film, which helps the cyclist maintain the ideal sitting position.
