Repente saddle Artax GLM 132 mm (black)

The REPENTE Artax GL, a saddle designed for the gravel world. Given the riders position during relaxed gravel riding, which is more upright than on a race bike, the saddle has increased padding thickness without losing a slim, stylish design.

The rear section provides comfortable support for the rider even after many hours, while the central anatomical cut-out effectively relieves any pressure on the perineal area. The shape of the front section minimises friction and allows maximum freedom of movement. Thanks to the curved profile of the nose, cyclists can pedal standing up and then smoothly return to the seated position.

We chose a special anti-slip cover material that is equally effective in the wet.

Gravel is fun, relaxation, discovery: get ready to enjoy this new cycling experience with the Artax GL.

Technologies & Patents

MSR (Multi-Section Carbon Rail) - combined carbon rail structure

In REPENTE saddles the rails do not serve merely a supporting function. By achieving the right combination of carbon stiffness and flexibility along the full length of the rails, this part of the saddle can be used as a damping element. The flattened rear ends provide stiffness in the most stressed part of the saddle, while the front ends merging into a single structural element have a positive effect on the flexibility of the whole. The pressure exerted on the saddle in different phases of riding thus always brings an optimal response.

LCF (Long Carbon Fiber) - long carbon fibres

So that the saddle does not lose its stiffness and shape over time, the REPENTE saddle research and development department developed LCF technology. Instead of ordinary carbon fibres, longer carbon fibres are added to the resin, which, thanks to a special injection process, are arranged to match the longitudinal flow of the material, which increases the strength of the entire structure. As tests have shown, this technology minimises the risk of deformation or collapse of the carbon shell.

RLS (Repente Locking System) - system for attaching the replaceable padding

Thanks to the patented RLS locking system, approved after demanding tests both in the laboratory and in the field, you can choose a base / padding combination that will help you get maximum comfort and power from every pedal stroke. The right saddle shape helps keep your riding position unchanged, which eliminates the risk of joint and muscle injuries.

A base with RLS technology is compatible with the padding in this saddle group: Prime (2.0, 3.0) - Spyd (2.0, 3.0) / Artax (GL, GLM)
