Riding on a €10 per gram expensive Prologo Predator saddle, Jonas Vingegaard appeared discomforted during the Tour de France today
In the world of professional cycling, the choice of equipment can make all the difference. One brand that has been making waves is Prologo, with their innovative saddles attracting attention from both riders and spectators alike.
The Prologo PREDATOR 01TT CPC saddle, used by Jonas Vingegaard in the Tour de France, is a prime example of this innovation. Priced at approximately €1350, this saddle boasts a unique design featuring the "CPC" (Connect Power Control) technology. This technology includes grippy nubbins on the saddle surface, which enhance rider stability and power transfer during time trials. The design helps keep the rider firmly in position, improving aero efficiency and comfort during intense efforts [1].
The PREDATOR 01TT CPC saddle also features a generous contact surface, with a saddle nose width of 50 mm, and an ergonomic V-shape (260x110 mm) designed to encourage pelvic rotation for an aggressive aerodynamic position. The seating area includes extra EVA padding for maximum support, and a large PAS central channel to reduce pressure on soft tissues for enhanced comfort.
Another popular Prologo saddle is the Prologo Dimension 143 T4.0, a pro peloton favourite and a favourite among cyclists of all levels. This noseless and 143mm wide saddle is a versatile choice, suitable for both men and women. The Prologo Dimension 143 T4.0 has been reviewed by our own Simon Fellows and received 4 stars.
Notably, Jonas Vingegaard's teammates Simon Yates, Matteo Jorgenson, and Victor Campenaerts will also be using the same Prologo saddle. The Prologo Scratch M5, a 'T-shaped' saddle with five zones of active foam for comfort, is another popular choice among riders.
The Prologo Scratch M5 and Prologo Dimension 143 T4.0 are available for purchase on Amazon. The Prologo Scratch M5 is currently priced at $120, a savings of 19%, while the Prologo Dimension 143 T4.0 is currently priced at £59.70, a savings of 34%.
Whether you're a professional cyclist or a weekend warrior, Prologo saddles offer a range of options to enhance your cycling experience. With their focus on comfort, power transfer, and aerodynamics, these saddles are sure to continue making waves in the cycling world.
