The SDG Bel-Air RL with the Chromo rails is $75. It is 325 grams so it isn't too heavy but it isn't the lightest either. Comes in a bunch of different colors and prints.

If you had a Carbonio it may... But that's doubtful on any of their other models. I'mma call bluff on your statement there.

The SLR carbonio is light enough as is, at 135g (real, not claimed), just about enough padding to keep your arse from going numb and little enough for it to never get in the way, with no sharp edges to tear yourself on.

However, the Teknoligika is much better looking, better wearing and slightly lighter, it's not really worth twice the price to have the padding glued further in instead of wrapped and stapled.

You can only pick two of the 3 choices,


It's a variation of the Keith Bontrager quote, "Cheap, light, strong. Pick two"

i like the bel air for xc/trail riding,but not for DH due to its weight,width and most of all the slight whale tail rear which does'nt allow to move behind the saddle as easily as a flater,rounder rear of the saddle.
