The pad of the Probka saddle is made of cork, a natural cushioning material with excellent damping properties that smooth out vibrations from the road while maintaining great power transfer. Flexible and supportive, the cork pad deforms under the riders pressure points over time, adjusting uniquely to each rider. This increases the contact area and provides comfort over long distances without sacrificing performance. The Probka features an 8-mm thick pad with a pressure relief channel in the front. The durability of cork is evidenced by its use in shoe, furniture, and even aerospace production. The cork pad of the Probka is impregnated with a special compound that provides protection against moisture, salt, and UV rays. In terms of cushioning and weight, the Probka fits perfectly between the all-carbon Sedlo saddle and the Setka saddle with a 3D-printed pad. Weighing only 107 grams, it is one of the lightest padded saddles in the world. The base of our saddles is made of carbon with a triangular reinforcement pattern underneath. The rails are not simply bonded to the shell but inserted into reinforced slots. Compared to adhesive bonding, this design confers greater reliability without a significant weight penalty. The Probka saddle pad is comfortable for the most types of riding. However, the pad is not designed to withstand hard impacts and collisions with rocks and trees. Damages to the pad from falls are not covered by the warranty.
