Trico’s new Airflex Elite saddle combines high-performance styling with cut-away comfort and its exclusive Memoflex gel padding, all wrapped in a seamless lycra cover. A large cut-out centre-channel area provides plenty of soft-tissue protection and increases airflow, while side bumpers protect the saddle from cuts and abrasions. The Airflex Elite weighs 445 grams, and is available in men- and women-specific models for $72.99. www.parisglove.com, www.tricosports.com
