The round shape of the M5 provides natural pelvis rotation, creating stability and support for your lumbar areas, and the distribution of the pressures on a greater surface.CPC TechnologyBenefitting from Connect Power Control (CPC) technology that's the same as used in Formula 1 racing, PROLOGO has patented it specifically for the cycling industry. This saddle uses 3D polymer cones to maximise grip when taking up an aggressive position as well as making it possible change position quickly. Offering high levels of vibration absorbing, grip and position stability, its CPC technology also reduces muscle fatigue and facilitates air flow by reducing the temperature in the contact zone.Despite the absence of a real perineal channel, the SCRATCH M5 has an open base able to eliminate pressure peaks in the genital pelvic area. The closure of the prostate zone also offers better protection against extreme climatic conditions (rain or mud).Features: Cover Material: CPC Airing Rails Material: Nack (Kevlar, Aluminium, Carbon Fibre mix) Use: Road Dimensions: 250x140mm Rails Size: 7x9.3mm Shape: Round Gender: Unisex Weight: 166gTechnologies: Multi-Sector System (MSS): Different areas for high level comfort.

These areas work independently adapting to all the positions that cyclist can take. Connect Power Control (CPC): Used in “F1” and in the military field CPC - connected Power Control is the system patented by Prologo that ensures performance and comfort providing vibration absorbing, grip and position stability. Thanks to its nano-structure, the special conical and hollow 3D polymer reduces muscle fatigue and facilitates air flow by reducing the temperature in the contact zone. CPC, moreover, positioned in strategic points, protects muscles, tendons and soft tissues from the stresses deriving “from the road” guaranteeing its performance in every climatic condition. Today it is used by the best Top Teams and athletes in the world, in all disciplines; CPC is the ultimate expression of performance and comfort.Buy PROLOGO Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

We’re talking full-power shifts. Up, down, whatever the trail demands. The benefit of the X-Glide drivetrain is simple, yet, when you think about it, incredibly impactful to the way you ride. Flawless shifting means you’ll never again compromise your speed and power in unpredictable off-road terrain. Here’s how we did it: TRUVATIV’s crank engineers threw away the old standards and developed a new chainring geometry from the ground up. They precisely paired the different-sized chainrings and redesigned where and how the chain engages with the rings. By aligning the chainring pick-up rivets to the chain pivot pin—rather than the middle of the chain link—you get double the shift opportunities. No more missed shifts, ever. X-Glide puts you in the right gear, right now.Buy SRAM Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
