Description:Weighing in at 110 grams, the EVOLUTION 3 is the lightest saddle available. In terms of pure technology the Evolution 3 is the results of several years research and trials using a Carbon/Kevlar braid in conjunction with a tubular Titanium rail. A special “shock absorber” at the forward end reduces road vibrations.
