KUMA 4.0
KUMA resumes the same structural concepts of Aleena and
Comptus, but with a thicker layer of padding. To achieve maximum damping
power, Repente has chosen the special EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate)
material, an ultralight, non-toxic and non-allergenic polymeric compound
that doesn’t lose its properties over time. An ideal solution for those
who put comfort in the first place and for those who love to have fun
off-road. You would not say it, but KUMA weighs only 140 grams.
Seats without a "Dark Side"
If you want to fully appreciate the quality of a REPENTE seat, do not stop at the surface. Turn it over
and check what’s underneath. A REPENTE seat does not have a "dark side": ours is a 360 degree approach to
quality. Inspect every detail of the innovative Rc-base: its carefully shaped design with a clever
combination of thicker areas and gaps, materials that blend into each other and harmonious lines.
Marvel at the smoothness and lightness of the best carbon fibre composites. In a REPENTE seat, nothing is
hidden: what you see is what you get.
AUTOCLAVE RESISTANCE ENHANCEMENT
The
structural components of REPENTE seats are produced using T700 carbon
fibre. Machining is not done by moulding, but by autoclaving. This
process requires longer working cycles and higher production costs, but
the quality of the end product is significantly higher. The carbon fibre
composite will not undergo external stress, therefore, its mechanical
properties remain unchanged. In addition, autoclave processing
eliminates the problem of micro-gaps in the fibres. The applied A.R.E
technology allows us to make the best use of the carbon fibre material
and ensure the highest degree of strength and reliability for our seats.
Four years of guarantee are our pledge to you.
DIFFERENTIAL SECTION RAILS
In
a REPENTE seat, the rail does not just have a supporting function. The
horizontal elements of the carbon fibre structure have been designed
with differential cross-sections – to achieve the right mix of rigidity
and flexibility throughout the support plane. The rear ends have been
flattened to provide more homogeneous rigidity to the most heavily
stressed part of the seat, while the front ends merge into a single,
sturdy structural element. Pressure applied to the seat in the various
riding stages is always under control. Smooth lines are also at the
front, where the two modulated section support arms harmoniously blend
into the tip.
JUST THE RIGHT SIZE FOR YOU
The width of the
seat is the result of anatomical measurements and shaping based on an
average human build. Repente has developed three different shapes:
ALEENA, COMPTUS and KUMA. Thanks to the test seats available at our
dealers', you will find the solution that best suits your physical
characteristics and riding style.
Compact dimensions, light
weight and freedom of movement are the guidelines that we followed to
determine the exact length of REPENTE seats. Our seats are slightly
shorter than the standard sizes: this will help you feel more
comfortable in the saddle and to move with the greatest ease from the
sitting to the sprinting position and vice versa.
SIDE GUARDS
Even
the most careful and diligent cyclist will confirm this: in the long
run, all seats will bear scuffs or marks along the rear edges, caused by
friction against walls or the asphalt. Seat cover damaging is almost
inevitable – which is why REPENTE came up with ISSG (Integrated Shell
Side Guards). The carbon fibre Rc-base to which the seat cover is
secured has two slight protrusions, which protect the seat cover from
accidental friction marks. We know how much you care about your seat:
with ISSG , we can help you keep it safe over time.
Repente-Locking-System
A
cyclist trains in environmental and specific conditions that are
constantly changing due to a number of factors: different seasons and
weather, type of route, distance covered, type of workout, and
individual physical and physiological characteristics. Finding a
suitable seat is a source of concern for many cyclists, at both
competitive and amateur level: pain, numbness, soreness or, worse,
prostate/urinary tract disorders are unpleasant ride companions which
sometimes cyclists are forced to put up with. One of the distinctive
features of Repente is the possibility for having multiple seats in one:
you can choose which cover to fit depending on specific anatomical,
performance and aesthetic requirements. Thanks to the unique RLS locking
system, approved after the most exacting tests both in the lab and on
the road, you can choose a combination that will help you get the most
well-being and power out of each pedal stroke. Repente allows you to
maintain your riding position unchanged – eliminating any risk of joint
and muscular disorders.
Another advantage: once you’ve found the
perfect Repente cover, you can buy a single one and move it between
bikes (road – MTB models) – which you will have previously equipped with
Repente Rc-bases.
1.
Check that the rubber O-ring is inserted in the pins
2.
Place the cover on the base and Insert the pins in the corresponding holes
3.
Press to insert the pin all the way into the base and insert the Seeger ring into the special groove in the pin head
No original box included with the base. cover comes in factory packaging.
