Prologo Choice: A Wild Aero Saddle with Hidden Rails & A Repairable Design

Italian saddle manufacturer Prologo has unveiled its new "Choice" saddle, touted as the first integrated road saddle. This innovative design features hidden rails and a modular, repairable construction. The company claims the Choice offers enhanced aerodynamics and a unique aesthetic by integrating the saddle body directly with the seatpost interface, although specific aerodynamic data or weight figures are yet to be widely published.

This development arrives in a market increasingly saturated with marginal gains and integrated solutions, from cockpit designs to frame components. Prologo, a long-standing player known for its performance-oriented saddles, is clearly attempting to carve out a new niche. The "repairable" aspect is particularly noteworthy, potentially addressing the growing consumer demand for sustainability and longevity in high-performance cycling components, moving away from the "throwaway" culture often associated with ultra-light or highly integrated parts.

While the "integrated" claim might raise an eyebrow or two among those familiar with previous attempts at such designs, Prologo's commitment to repairability is a welcome, if pragmatic, counterpoint to the usual pursuit of pure aero.
