Bontrager Paradigm RL Saddle

The Paradigm RL comes in 128mm, 138mm, and 148mm widths to accommodate different sit-bone measurements. Ideally, you should have your sit bones measured at a local bike shop to ensure you choose the width that provides proper skeletal support.

The Contour Relief Zone is a recessed channel designed to reduce pressure on soft tissue and sensitive areas while you ride. It helps prevent numbness and discomfort during longer efforts in the saddle.

Yes, the Paradigm RL is designed for performance road riding. Its combination of a carbon-reinforced shell for structural integrity and multi-density foam padding makes it well-suited for endurance rides where comfort and weight savings are both priorities.

The weight varies slightly by width: the 128mm version weighs 175g, the 138mm version is 180g, and the 148mm version is 185g. These weights are achieved largely through the use of hollow titanium rails.

The hollow titanium rails use standard 7mm round dimensions, making them compatible with the vast majority of seatpost clamp systems on the market. You should not encounter any fitment issues with standard road or mountain bike seatposts.
