Turnix Saddle

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The PRO Turnix Saddle is one of my most consistent recommendations for road riders who fall into the moderately flexible category and want a saddle that distributes pressure evenly without requiring them to hold a specific position to get the benefit. The carbon reinforced base gives it the stiffness and responsiveness of a performance saddle, and the option to add or omit the anatomic recess means I can fine-tune the spec to the individual rider rather than accepting a one-size-fits-all solution. At 142mm it covers the most common sit bone width range in a road-focused rider population without going to multiple width options."

The PRO Turnix Saddle addresses the largest single segment of the performance road rider population: moderately flexible riders who move naturally between hand positions across a long ride and need a saddle geometry that supports balanced pressure distribution throughout that movement rather than optimizing exclusively for one position. The regular fit shape and 142mm width are calibrated for this rider profile, providing even sit bone support across the natural range of pelvic movement that a moderately flexible rider generates during sustained road efforts.

The option to specify the saddle with or without an anatomic recess provides a meaningful fitting variable that extends the Turnix's applicability across riders with different pressure sensitivity and anatomical requirements. Riders who benefit from perineal pressure relief during long efforts can select the recess configuration, while those who prefer an uninterrupted surface across the full saddle width have that option available within the same model, avoiding the need to move to a different saddle family to accommodate that preference.

The carbon reinforced base delivers the torsional stiffness that efficient power transfer demands at the saddle-to-pelvis interface across hard accelerations and sustained high-wattage efforts, maintaining platform integrity under the loads that performance road riding generates. Stainless steel rails provide a corrosion-resistant and mechanically reliable mounting interface with broad seatpost clamp compatibility across current road platforms, holding saddle position adjustment securely through the repeated clamp cycles that a full season of training and racing involves. Lightweight EVA padding is tuned for the specific compliance requirements of performance road use, absorbing enough road vibration to protect rider comfort over long distances without introducing the platform softness that undermines saddle feel and power delivery. Full compatibility with PRO Saddle Accessories extends the saddle's utility to integrated storage and hydration configurations for longer road and gravel efforts.
