Bontrager Aeolus Elite Saddle

While it is designed for an aggressive, aerodynamic position, the Aeolus Elite is quite versatile. The full cut-out and targeted padding make it comfortable enough for long training rides, provided you are comfortable maintaining a forward-leaning posture.

The correct width depends on your sit bone measurement. The 145mm version is generally suited for riders with narrower sit bones, while the 155mm version offers more support for wider sit bones. Most local bike shops have a simple measuring tool to help you determine your specific size.

Austenite rails are a proprietary material that is both lighter and stronger than hollow titanium. They offer a great balance of weight savings and durability without the high cost of carbon fiber rails.

Yes, the saddle features integrated Blendr accessory mounts. This allows you to cleanly attach compatible Bontrager rear lights or specific saddle bags directly to the back of the seat for a streamlined look.

The shorter overall length is designed to reduce pressure on soft tissue when you are in an aggressive, forward-leaning aero position. By shortening the nose, the saddle allows you to rotate your pelvis forward more comfortably without the front of the seat getting in the way.
