The Astute Starline Pilagra VT is a saddle for the road racer with wider hip bones. Keeping a rider comfortable on shorter, faster races and training rides, the Starline Pilagra is similar to Starline VT. The difference is the Pilagra is 10 mm wider, 10 grams heavier and made for a rider with wider hip bones. Pressure on the perineum is relieved by the U-shaped shell made of 15% carbon-fiber with reinforced nylon. Memory foam adds more protection to the perineal area-it’s firmer in the back to support the seat bones and softer in the front where the cyclist leans his body weight when down in the handlebars. The washable microfiber on the seat surface is soft and it also relieves seat pressure. A central cutout removes pressure in the pelvic are and the tension arc redistributes body weight for ultimate comfort. The titanium rail absorbs road vibration and is lightweight. The titanium is strong and durable so it maintains its strength after months of riding and racing. For less weight try out the Astute Starlite VT Nylon/Carbon that’s made with a lighter weight carbon rail that doesn’t absorb as much road vibration as does the titanium.
