Aimed at road and gravel cyclists, the new Ritchey Logic Cabrillo saddle gives them their first short-and-wide saddle design. While it looks very much like a traditional saddle, the dimensions don’t lie.
The Cabrillo comes in two versions, WCS and Comp. Both use Ritchey’s Vector Wing shell design, which isolates the rails from the top, creating a flex zone to suspend the rider without making the saddle squishy.
The Cabrillo WCS gets a nylon & carbon shell with stainless steel rails and lightweight polyurethane foam padding. It weighs 222g and costs $99.95.
The Cabrillo Comp gets a nylon & glass fiber shell with chromoly rails and standard foam padding. Weight is 266g, price is $59.95.
It’s mildly short compared to some other brands, measuring 260mm long. That’s 18mm shorter than their Streem saddle.
The top profile is flat from tip to tail, making it easier to slide fore/aft on the saddle over technical terrain, which makes it perfect for cyclocross. A slight curve from side to side mimics other popular short-and-wide designs to offer good sit bone support without hindering hip and leg movement.
The unisex design has a slim center channel to reduce pressure on the perineal area. Available now.
