In hot weather, when leaving a bike in the sun or riding for a long period of time a saddle can warm up.
Rising above the rider s skin temperature, the saddle creates an unpleasant feeling of perspiration and
discomfort. Eventually this discomfort can turn into pain. Respiro, meaning breathe in Italian, avoids this
by keeping the saddle 25% cooler thanks to the Cool Microtex and the Ventilation Channel.
START COOL
Cool Microtex is a special saddle cover with a leather treatment, based on the use
of special dyes and pigments. This treatment, developed for motorcycling clothing,
reflects up to 80% of the sun rays. The temperature on the surface of a black
saddle with Cool Microtex is up to 25°C lower than on that of a standard black
leather saddle.
This enables the cyclist not to worry about the saddle getting too hot when leaving
the bike in the sun. The cyclist can then start riding on a cooler saddle.
STAY COOL
The anatomical depression at the centre of the saddle has the double function of
delivering a pressure relief in the genital area and a cooling effect during the ride.
The Ventilation Channel helps reducing by 1° or 2° C the temperature on the
shorts and on the saddle while riding.
This helps maintaining the temperature at the interface below the body
temperature, avoiding feelings of discomfort and reducing moisture due to
excessive sweating.
Respiro is a saddle range of 6 models, delivering an ergonomic solution to all types of cyclists, according
to their sex and their style of riding: athletic, moderate, relaxed. Respiro is the first range of saddles
differentiating the design of the saddle not only in terms of width at the back to accommodate the
different shape and dimensions of men s and women s seat bones, but also considering the differences
between men and women in the tissues of the genital area.
Respiro s differently shaped ventilation channels are ergonomically designed to relieve pressure in the
genital area of men and women, respecting their anatomical differences.
MEN S DESIGN
Men s saddles have a 35 mm wide channel to avoid the compression of pudendal
nerves and arteries, as well as the prostate. This results in an optimal blood flow
to the genitals and no more feelings of numbness.
WOMEN S DESIGN
Women s saddles have a narrower channel to avoid compression at the very
centre, and equalize pressure on the sides of the channel where outer genital
tissues still support part of the weight.
Additionally Respiro saddles feature:
-Royalgel padding for a greater comfort
-Integrated Clip System for the easiest attachment of a saddle bag or blinking light,
-Modular Elastomers for greater shock absorption.
