Prologo Kappa RS Saddle, Black, One Size

Product Information

What helps is the decent amount of comfort afforded by the alloy frame and carbon fork. It's by no means the most supple I've ridden but neither is it harsh. Even with the tyres pumped up firm you don't get rattled around – apart from on those truly atrocious sections of tarmac – which allows the miles to just by without you really noticing. Smoothly does it At first glance the Prologo Kappa saddle has a subtle stylish design that looks expensive, it looks great on the bike and has a flat, wide seat with a shallow channel through the middle to assist in relieving pressure when riding. Did a little test the other day, went up Canonbie Road in Forest Hill, 18% climb, first on roadbike and then on road ebike. On the former my heartrate maxxed at 168, on the latter at 152 (with assistance on full), so definitely getting a workout! As standard, though, the Venturi comes with Continental's Grand Sport Race in 28mm width – not a bad set of tyres, and something we see quite often on bikes coming in for review. An e-bike has many more uses than just making life easier, though. The assistance can benefit the injured, ill or those who've found their ability but not their enthusiasm curbed by the subtle onset of age.

Taking everything into account, I actually think the Orro Venturi is competitive on price and offers decent value for money. The 72.5-degree head angle keeps the steering on the neutral side of busy, and the wheelbase length brings some stability while allowing for the fitment of mudguards, though at 991mm (medium size) it's still short enough to keep things interesting. Prologo has introduced a new line of saddles called SPACE. The Prologo R&D team has developed a line of ergonomic saddles dedicated to provide maximum comfor and performance. SPACE technology eliminates pressure spikes and numbness in the perineal area thanks to the anatomical channel and varied foam densities.

Personal preference will always play a big role, so ideally you want to be able to try out bike seats of different shapes before you commit to anything. That said, it’s becoming more generally accepted that for optimum comfort and performance you want to put the pressure on your sit bones and off any surrounding soft tissue. The channel is presented with a wide anatomical channel that crosses the saddle along the whole central axis of the same; the foam density’ differentiated and increased (+ 3 mm), in combination with the greater width of the saddle, guarantee absolute comfort making these saddles suitable for unisex use. Although it might sound like I've just been smashing this thing around like a standard road bike with a bit of added assistance when the going gets tough – which is true, I suppose – I've also been exploiting its 'cheat' mode.

These two gentlemen could not be any more accommodating if they tried, quality service that is a rare find in today’s crazy world, I can not recommend this company enough! Our team of expert testers have ridden a huge range of saddles, in various shapes and sizes. Based on that wealth of experience, we’ve assembled a list of what we think are the most comfortable bike seats for the best road bikes. When riding on the saddle it has a lovey ergonomic fit and is not restricting in any way, therefore reducing the risk of tenderness and chafing. It gives an immediate settling position and you are not left moving around to get comfortable. It has light padding on the seat that will give a good amount of comfort on a long ride. QualityOverall, I really like the Orro Venturi. Its ride quality is brilliant, as is the way it behaves so you can ride it hard or take it steady and it always feels fun and responsive. It's a lot of bike for the money, too. Verdict Flatland pace is consistently good, even over tarmac that would see you bunny hopping and switching lines constantly on a bike shod with 25mm tyres. The difference, though, is that even on tough climbs my HR would sit at around the 100bpm mark; I'd put in the extra effort on the flats and shallower gradients, the sections I get more enjoyment out of, getting a sustained effort out at a high power. The Ribble Endurance AL e Enthusiast offers all the fun, pleasurable handling and ride quality of the acoustic version, but with the addition of a power plant that delivers plenty of smooth assistance for those of us who want or need a bit of help on the hills. It's a decent spec for the money too. Ride If you are looking for an e-bike that'll give you the feeling of riding a standard road bike with just the subtlest of assistance, then the Ribble is a very good choice. Above the speed limiter it rides just like the standard version everywhere but the shallowest of inclines. It's good value for money, too. Verdict

It's way more relaxed than a full-on race machine, but still feels nimble through the bends and when mixing it with traffic, should you be using it as a commuter. So let’s take a look at the second most important decision making tool we can use when shopping online, price. Whether your goal is to just get the cheapest Saddles available, or to get the best quality at a reasonable price, there’s always going to be a need to do your research on price. Prologo Kappa Space Saddle (with T2.0 Rails) price analysisTaking all of that into account it’s pretty clear why Prologo Kappa Space Saddle (with T2.0 Rails) scored such a great price score of 9.1/10 and why it features as one of the top recommended products in the Saddles category.

Whether due to the plump tyres, effective frame design or both, the Ribble delivers a great ride. I was immediately impressed with how smooth it felt, despite Wiltshire’s roads trying their best to assault me with new potholes and freshly broken tarmac.

Prologo Kappa Space Saddle (with T2.0 Rails) Reviews

The good news is that Ribble hasn't changed much at all, when it comes to comparing the AL with the AL e. Even with the addition of the hub motor, internal wiring, battery and charging point, the geometry has stayed exactly the same. Both are decent options when it comes to ride quality, with the Schwalbes taking the edge on grip and rolling resistance, in my opinion. Value
