ASTUTE Sky Saddles (Skylite VT Taca)

ASTUTE SKYLITE VT TACA

Innovation. High technology. Italian craftsmanship. Unique design. This saddle is the result of the exclusive Sky project developed by Astute Labs for demanding athletes seeking advanced solutions. Flat design for off-road riding. Provides ultimate comfort and high performance in training sessions as well as during races – especially Cross Country, Gravel and Cyclocross. Perfect for all cyclists who prefer this riding position.

SKYLITE VT TACÀ (with “tacà” meaning “stuck and closed” in Venetian dialect) features an anti-vibration self-supporting twin shell. Designed to significantly reduce vibrations and reinforce the construction with the Spas System Technology (SPAS): 2 pads between the carbon rail and the shells dampen and reduce vibrations by up to 20% off-road. The inner shell is made of 15% carbon-fibre reinforced nylon, while the outer shell is made of nylon with Soft Touch finish. Both come in an open U shape, which significantly increases the padding space while maintaining the same volume. It is a compact, high-performance saddle. Full-carbon rail with 3K Carbon Rail 7X9 technology for reduced weight. A racing combination designed by Astute. Lightweight, ultimate performance and comfort, even under high-strain conditions. VT seat (from “verta”, i.e. “open” in Venetian dialect), designed with a central cut-out to eliminate pressure peaks in the pelvic area. The «tension arc» is created with a perfectly balanced weight distribution for smooth, comfortable riding. Ultimate comfort, lightweight and high performance.

Coated with waterproof, washable, Eco-label Made-in-Italy Tacà microfibre. Special fabric protections along all sides of the back, featuring micro-injected areas with shock-absorbing material for greater safety and comfort.Features three-density progressive Memory Foam padding to provide better comfort in the pelvic area – firmer in the back to support the sit bones, and softer on the front.
