PROLOGO Scratch M5 CPC Nack Road Bike SaddleDeveloped for next-level comfort and performance, this versatile road bike saddle features patented technologies and a high-quality build for getting the best out of every ride. It features a "T Shape" design with an updated size and shape, so both male and female riders can benefit from its dependable unisex construction. Prologo has also equipped this version nack rails, which combine Kevlar, aluminium and carbon fibre to give you a secure hold to your seatpost without adding any unnecessary grams to your road bike.MSS Multi Section SystemComing equipped with a Multi Section System (MSS) seating system, this model was designed in co-operation with the Politecnico of Milano to offer improved comfort and performance. Its active foam is separated to create five comfort zones working in a smart and individual way that favours the natural movement of the pedalling phases both of pushing and pulling. This also allows it to absorb the vibrations that the carbon fibre base transfers to the saddle. 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. The Multi-Sector System provides different individual zones mapped and separated along the saddle, each composed of different interactive foams and single-cell padding. 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.

Thomsons road bar features a mild wing shape on top, clamping area wide enough for aero bars, mid-compact reach and drop. This is the modern bar for the modern road bike. Monococque construction for safety and comfort. Thomsons Road bar wing section is small enough not to restrict hand movement when riding on the top and allows bar angle adjustment with out locking out your wrists. Shaping on the bottom side of the wing allows housing to be taped out of the way without the use of narrow housing channels or internal routing, both of which shorten bar life Layup uses 3 different fiber types with different tensile strengths and tensile modulus, including High Strength carbon fiber. This helps allocate stiffness and flex where needed. All carbon fiber is produced by Toray and uses tailor made Nano Epoxy Resin for very high impact resistance. Toray is the main supplier of carbon fiber for Boeing and Airbus. The Bars are molded over an EPS mandrel to avoid wrinkles inside the layup during molding. Most other bars are molded over inflatable nylon bladders

From the outset of the Torch 3.0 Road shoe design process, our goal was to create a performance offering as feature-packed as any top-end shoe. The challenge, however, was pulling this off at a palatable price.In order to achieve this, we utilized three strategically placed materials on the uppers that are welded together—TPU and mesh in the front and synthetic leather in the rear. This makes for a more comfortable and supportive front of the shoe. A stiff rear and heel cup, meanwhile, lock down your heel and keep all of your watts going into the pedals as efficiently as possible. This refined upper is combined with our legendary FACT carbon fibre sole to further ensure an efficient power transfer. Finally, we topped the Torch 3.0 off with two Boa® S2-SV Snap dials for zonal closure, and a precise fit that leads to all-day comfort.Key Features:Body Geometry sole construction and footbeds are ergonomically designed and scientifically tested to boost power, increase efficiency, and reduce chance of injury by optimizing hip, knee, and foot alignment.,FACT™ carbon composite sole and torsion box construction is directionally rigid for outstanding power transfer: Stiffness Index 8.5.,Dual Boa® S2-SV Snap dial closure for on-the-fly micro-adjustment, backed by the Boa® Lifetime Guarantee.,Mesh, TPU, and synthetic layer upper are placed in specific zones for comfort and lock-down, and are thermobonded for a superior fit.,Standard Fit for support and all-day comfort.,Three-bolt cleat pattern fits all major road pedals.,Approximate weight: 248g (1/2 pair, Size 42).
The R45 front hub is lighter and more aerodynamic than most built-to-last hubs on the market.
