The Astute Starlite Pilagra VT Nylon/Carbon is a saddle for the road racer with wider hip bones. The 145 mm x 270 mm dimensions of the seat are 10 mm wider than the standard cycling seat. Multiple features add to a race seat that keeps a rider comfortable on high intensity rides. Memory foam adds more protection to the sensitive perineal area; the foam is firmer in the back and softer in the front. Pressure on the perineum is also relieved by the U-shaped shell in 15% carbon-fiber with reinforced nylon. A soft microfiber is added on the seat surface. The microfiber eases friction against seat and it’s easily washable. A central cutout removes pressure in the pelvic area and the tension redistributes body weight for ultimate comfort. The Starlite Pilagra is made with a carbon rail so it is 30 grams lighter than the Astute Starline Pilagra which is made with a titanium rail that absorbs more road vibration and is therefore more comfortable on those longer rides. If speed is your focus, try the Starlite, if long distant comfort is what you want ride on the Starline.
