Selle Repente has released a wide version of their full carbon Latus saddle. Wide but not too wide, lightweight and comfortable enough to satisfy even the most demanding rider, the Latus M is the full carbon saddle for cyclists who prefer a slightly wider fit than traditional saddles. Its’ 142 mm width is one of the standard dimensions most requested in the “wide seat” range.
Like in the Latus CL (152 mm large) the materials and construction concepts are state-of the-art:
- Autoclave processing of unidirectional carbon fiber to enhance the mechanical properties of the material to the differential section rail to provide stiffness and comfort
- A wide anatomical channel with Eva padding, shaped to ensure adequate support even in the seat tip area and prevent sliding forward.
- An anatomical channel reaches its maximum depth where this is most useful to help ease pressure on the perineal area.
- UD carbon is reinforced with a twill weave.
The dimensions of the Latus M are 240mm x 142mm and its’ weight should not exceed 140 grams.
It is a saddle suitable for both road riders and off road enthusiasts. Its’ compact size and the shape of the front enhance freedom of movement during pedaling. Its’ level of finishing highlights Repente’s trademark attention to every detail – a common feature shared by all its products.
The suggested price is 218 euros.
Latus M is one of the Repente saddles chosen by the riders of Professional Team Caja Rural – Rga and by the élite women teams Ceratizit Wnt and Bepink.
