The Fabric Scoop Race Shallow Saddle has won multiple Best in Test awards. It’s one of Fabric’s mid-range saddles using titanium rails to bring in a saddle that weighs just 248g. Fabric’s unique three-part construction strips away the compression & tension found in traditional hard, stretched-cover saddles. They do this by bonding a waterproof microfiber straight onto a flexible base, allowing them to use a softer foam. This is a light durable & hard wearing saddle. Fabric’s design their saddles to be used for all types or riding, they don’t make specific road or mountain biking saddle, rather they focus on how you like to sit on the bike. The Shallow profile used in this saddle has a more rounded rear section & medium padding. This profile is for riders leaning forwards, in a more natural riding position; typically the handlebars will be slightly lower than the saddle with the rider’s weight being split between the saddle & handlebars more evenly, requiring less padding on the saddle.
