The Scratch M5 is the new line of saddles that use 4.0 technologies; innovative in terms of size, shape and ergonomics, they are suitable for multiple uses. Thanks to the new “T SHAPE” design, size and ergonomics the M5 Scratch range is suitable for use by both men and women. The measurements are 250 x 140mm in width. The new MSS Multi Section System seating system, designed in co-operation with the Politecnico of Milano, helps improve comfort and performance; the active foam separated to create 5 zones working in a smart and individual way favoring the natural movement of the pedaling movement. This absorbs the vibrations that the carbon fibre body transfers to the over-saddle. The Round Shape of the M5 creates stability and support for the lumbar areas; moreover the distribution of the pressures on a greater surface. Weight: Nack: 155g
