RLS
Repente Locking System
Discover Discover < ReturnMore cost savings and less waste material with RLS technology
The exclusive RLS system, which allows the interchangeability of the covers with a simple and safe manoeuvre, is a Repente exclusive. With this technology you can always have the saddle that best suits your body or, in case of damage, replace only the necessary part, with obvious cost savings and less waste material.

Autoclave Resistance Enhancement
Discover Discover < ReturnAutoclaving produces a more compact and durable carbon
The structural components of Repente carbon saddles 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 ensure the highest degree of strength and reliability for our saddles.

Multi-Section Rail
Discover Discover < ReturnThe Multi-Section Rail provides the right mix of stiffness and flexibility
In a Repente saddle the carbon rails have been designed with differential cross-sections to achieve the right mix of rigidity and flexibility throughout the support surface. 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.
LCF
Long carbon fibers
Discover Discover < ReturnLong carbon fibers to prevent the deformation of the saddle
To ensure that the saddle does not lose its rigidity and its shape over time, Repente has developed the LCF (Long Carbon Fibers) technology: the resin is reinforced with long carbon fibers which form a sort of weave that increases the strength of the structure. As demonstrated by the tests carried out, this technology minimizes the risk of deformation or collapse of the shell.
ERGO SHAPE
Discover Discover < ReturnThe solution to the unwanted effects of wide saddles
Repente has provided a solution to the unwanted effects of a wide saddle on inner thigh muscles.
A saddle with too wide a “delta” area creates some tightness in the inner thigh area. If these muscles do not have enough space to move the cyclist automatically tries to adapt by moving forward, looking for points to relieve stress in this area. Moving forward implies the alteration of all the biomechanical data, localised pain and also a considerable loss of strength.
Repente’s 142 mm saddles have an adequate support surface while reducing the internal “delta” area, resulting in more freedom of movement for the legs and a more intense feeling of well-being.
CLOSE FIT
Discover Discover < ReturnUp to 40% less pressure on the ischial bones
The Close Fit shape – a typical feature of all Repente saddles – makes the saddle comfortable without the need of thick layers of padding. The rear of the saddles is designed according to anatomical and ergonomic requirements.
Lab tests show that Repente Close Fit shape reduces the pressure on the ischial bones up to 40% when compared to the average of the other saddles.
SHOT 304
Discover Discover < ReturnThe Shot 304 treatment makes the steel rail indestructible
In some saddles the rail is made of Aisi Stainless Steel, a type of steel with highly advanced mechanical properties. Repente further strengthens it by submitting it to a special process named Shot 304, which hardens the metal surface and makes it more resistant.
SOFT CELL
Discover Discover < ReturnThe hollow cells in the shell help absorbing the stresses transmitted from the ground
To ensure a comfortable seat and effective support, Repente has introduced a new technology applied to the construction of the shell. The pressure exerted by the cyclist’s body produces a controlled sinking of the padding inside the hollow cells in the shell. Soft Cell technology increases the sense of well-being, especially while pedaling on uneven terrains.
