When we are ripping down a technical downhill section, we like to feel as in control as we possibly can. With the Alpaca Gravita X5 Saddle, all of the features necessary for a fast and aggressive downhill ride are present. Although you may not spend much time actually sitting down while on your way back to the trailhead, the proper saddle setup is necessary. Because we do spend so much time out of the saddle, the Alpaca Gravita X5 features flexible edges along the rear and wings of the saddle to provide protection from bruising on your inner legs. Comfort is also necessary while seated, however, so the nose is wide and flat to allow for an easy change of position to the front of the saddle to allow for an easier climb.
