After trying the Moderate version, we also tested the Sport version, designed for a bicycle which provides inclined at 15 degrees. Here too there are two versions: a man and woman. Remains intact technology to build this saddle planning to minimize the compression on the genitals and the temperature of body parts in contact with the saddle itself. This solution promotes blood circulation, reduces the chance of sunburn, improves comfort and obviously reduces pressure on the perineum. The saddle test size 143x281 mm and a large central opening to decompress the perineum and improve the ventilation, which is favored by a direct passage to the frontal area of the saddle itself. The hull is designed with a clip to anchor the bag or the rear. The coating material of the seat is breathable and waterproof. The declared weight of this version is 270 grams, while we we detected 280. Single color available, the model under test.

The road test

The saddle Respiro Pro Sport is well built and all in all not too heavy for tupo saddle. More than just good finishes and well-made canal decompression of the perineum and the passage through the air. The assembly is simple and more sensitive to compression of the perineum may tilt the tip down to 3 mm, compared to the horizontal plane. Riding is like getting good support base of the buttock, very large if contfrontata other sports seats, which ensures a great comfort. In body weight, it is distributed over a wide area of the saddle and padding soft but not flabby. This means that even on rough comfort level remains good. The efficiency of the workout is good. Most want a bit more picky defilea, but this would worsen the base. Excellent, however, decompression and ventilation of the perineal area. Uphill appreciates the rigidity of the hull and the rear base wide, while those who enjoy cycling in the saddle point can find a good support. A saddle, then, that offers a number of advantages and disadvantages. The advantages include comfort, relief of the perineum and good support base, in addition to price, the disadvantage of the weight is not much content and a generic form that can not satisfy the most sports. Then a saddle for those seeking a sporty but also with technical features such as excellent decompression of the perineum and a good base, perfect for cycling, trekking and mountain bike hybrid not extreme. If adopted on a bike extreme racing, both street that mtb, you must take into account a small increase in weight compared with the benefits we have listed. Excellent, then the solution of having two versions: women and men, and pity for the only available color, black. The price of 80 Euro is absolutely proportionate to product type.
