Excellent condition, very lightly used Bontrager Paradigm XXX Carbon Race Saddle 148mm for sale.

The top of the range Bonty saddle and one of the best saddles ever made, the reasonably flat/shallow curve profile is very unobtrusive and has a lot of happy users worldwide. Has the superb CRZ pressure relief channel cutout which is essential for any performance bike.

I’ve found it works best angled slightly nose down from level.

Pics of all angles provided so you can see the exact condition. No damage or particular wear.

Some marks from normal use/handling/storage. Some normal clamping marks/impressions to rails but only fitted once by a top-level bike shop with a proper torque wrench so no damaged carbon rails here!! Some normal clouding to lacquer on rails, purely cosmetic.

Position setting markers still in good visible order. Extremely useful large amount of fore-aft adjustment range available too.

The ovalised oversized carbon rails are EXTREMELY strong, but it is absolutely ESSENTIAL that the saddle is fitted with care and the correct, accurate torque, to the correct type of seatpost. I also recommend the use of a special carbon fibre paste such as fibre grip to allow for less torque at the clamp bolts.

Fits 7 x 10mm carbon compatible seatpost clamps only. Has only been used with an ENVE 7 x 10 clamp seatpost thus far.

Bontrager say:

Superlight, fits just right, ready for flight.

When your saddle's wrong, nothing's right. That's why more riders are riding Paradigm. Ride faster, longer, on a saddle designed with inForm Biodynamics for optimal skeletel support without putting unnecessary pressure on soft tissue.

Minimalist construction, carbon fiber-reinforced shell, and oversized carbon rails keep the ride light.
