New Gilles Berthoud Race Saddle
June 3rd, 2010 by Bill | Filed under Berthoud, saddles.
Gilles Berthoud has produced the lightest full-leather saddle on the market with the introduction of his Galiber model race saddle. Titanium rails and careful design result in a weight of ~305g. The Soulor is a stainless steel version and the existing Aspin steel touring saddle is joined by the Aravis titanium touring saddle. (The saddles are named for climbs in the French Alps).
Berthoud saddles are waterproof and hand pre-softened. They can be disassembled with hand tools and the tensioning mechanism in the nose is an advance over existing designs. All models come in black, natural (un-dyed) and “cork” finish leather.
These saddles are a fine example of M. Berthoud’s passion for fine cycling equipment. We are happy to be able to represent the Berthoud firm in the United States.
