Brooks
BROOKS 140 YEARS OF CRAFTSMANSHIP

irreproachable quality in every detail.
The leather is absolutely the best obtainable and is thoroughly
adapted for its purpose. Retention of shape, and even improvement
after the break-in period, is the crucial test of a leather top and is one
of the chief characteristics of Brooks saddles. A broken-in Brooks is
the only saddle whose shape becomes truely yours.
An important feature of leather is its porosity. Invisible pores in
the hide provide natural ventilation. Brooks saddles are always cool
to ride, so they stay comfortable on the longest rides on the
warmest days.

Selle Royal
SR ERGOGEL SADDLES
A line of anatomically designed saddles delivering a gender specific solution for men and women which takes account of anatomical differences and the cyclists style of riding: athletic, moderate or relaxed (see diagrams). Scientific testing to measure pressure distribution, blood flow in the arteries and the supply of oxygen to the genital area has been used to optimise the design of these saddles and to prove them more effective than other well-known designs which claim to address these issues. Aside from the obvious anatomical differences between men and women SR ErgoGel saddles take account of many other factors such as:
- Variations in the profile of the pelvic bones of different riders as they rock forward from an upright to a low riding position.
- Variations in sit bones width; mens vary between 100 and 136mm, womens between 112 and 148mm
- Variations in the positions of pudendal arteries and nerves between men and women.
Combined with ErgoGels exceptional cushioning characteristics these designs are the ultimate in cycling comfort for riders who feel the pressure!
SR RESPIRO SADDLES
In warm weather, when leaving a bike in the sun or riding for a long period of time a saddle will increase in temperature. Rising above the riders skin temperature, the saddle creates an unpleasant feeling of perspiration and discomfort. Eventually this can cause pain. Respiro (meaning breathe in Italian) avoids this by keeping the saddle up to 25% cooler thanks to the cool Microtex cover and the ventilation channel. Respiro is a range of saddles anatomically designed to fulfill the different needs of both men and women. The various models incorporate a range of additional comfort features including Royal Gel cushioning,modular elastomers to absorb shocks and the ICS integrated clip system to accept SR bags and lights without additional brackets.
SR LOOK IN M-FLEX SADDLES
LOOK IN saddles feature Royalgel applied in greater concentrations at the pressure points where you need it most. The window designs help you to select the right saddle for the type of bike you use and for your position while riding. Royalgel adapts to your anatomy by moving vertically, horizontally and diagonally in 3 dimensions, reducing the pressure peaks on the sit bones and the genital area by up to 80%. Royalgel is also an excellent shock absorber which further increases your riding comfort. These saddles are padded with 3 layers of materials with different densities and visco-elastic properties. Between the lower layer of PU foam and the upper layer of Royalgel is a visco-elastic interface. This enhances the properties of Royalgel allowing it more space in which to move in 3 dimensions, thereby providing better pressure distribution and shock absorption.
M-Flex is the premium quality LOOK IN range and features:
- modular elastomers with double inner suspension for shock absorption and an outer shell for vibration absorption
- WingFlex to enlarge the contact area and reduce friction on the thighs while pedalling
- Twin Flex with a flexible pressure relief zone for greater comfort in the genital area k ICS compatability allowing easy and secure fixing of SR bags and lights directly to the saddle
Wippermann
WHAT MAKES WIPPERMAN CHAINS THE WORLDS FINEST?
Durability: The quality of link pins is the deciding factor in the service life of a chain. Other manufacturers pins are surface hardened only. Wippermans unique XBH throughhardening process gives these chains their unique durability and prevents premature wear of sprockets. Flexibility and Rigidity: High lateral flexibility ensures a soft, smooth running gear shift. High torsional strength on the other hand ensures precise chain guidance onto the sprockets.
Allay
CHOOSE TO RIDE FIRST CLASS
Treat yourself to first class seating and arrive at your destination in the best physical and mental condition. Conventional saddles do not address the dangers of prolonged cycling, as they tend to force the rider into putting as much quarter of his body weight onto the centre of the saddle, effectively compressing the nerves anf blood vessels that flow through the perineum and and supply the genitals. Numbness is an unpleasant side effect of hours in the saddle, but the long term problems might be more serious.
Tests have shown that Allay Saddles, with the unique Airspan system, position the rider so that their body weight is aligned with the saddles sit bone comfort zone, allowing virtually unrestricted blood flow through the perineum.

Two of our four Mulebars are Fairtrade accredited but watch this space as we are working hard with fruit and other ingredient producers around the world to make all our bars Fairtrade.
