Selle Repente Nomad 3D Carbon Saddle

At 180 grams, the Nomad 3D balances lightweight design with durability, making it suitable for endurance rides, racing, and cyclists undergoing professional bike fitting in Queensland conditions.

Next‑Generation 3D Comfort Without Compromise

Nomad 3D takes the concept of technical saddle padding further by introducing a continuous, smooth 3D‑printed surface. Unlike exposed lattice saddles, this design merges the benefits of additive manufacturing with the practicality of a traditional covered saddle.

The result is a compact, durable saddle that resists dirt buildup, clothing wear, and abrasion while allowing greater freedom of movement on the bike.

Precision Density Mapping for Long‑Ride Comfort

The 3D‑printed padding is engineered with millimetre‑precise density mapping, adapting support to how the rider’s anatomy contacts the saddle. Firmer zones under the sit bones provide stability during hard efforts, while softer sections support sensitive soft tissue areas.

This targeted support reduces pressure points and discomfort, even during long endurance rides or repeated training sessions on Brisbane roads and gravel tracks.

Three‑Zone 3D Structure with Anatomical Channel

Nomad 3D uses three differentiated 3D alveolar structures, each designed to perform a specific function:

• Higher‑density zones improve sit‑bone support and pedalling efficiency
• Softer structures enhance comfort and load distribution
• A central anatomical channel with lighter mesh minimises perineal pressure and improves blood flow

This combination helps prevent numbness and fatigue, making the saddle well suited to road cycling, gravel events, and indoor training.

High‑Performance TPU Padding with Progressive Compression

The 3D padding is manufactured from TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), a material selected for elasticity, active rebound, and long‑term shape retention. Its progressive compression curve adapts to body pressure without collapsing, maintaining consistent support in aggressive riding positions or under sustained load.

This results in reduced fatigue, greater efficiency, and improved comfort over extended distances.

Full Carbon Shell and Rails for Strength and Weight Control

The Nomad 3D features a unidirectional carbon fibre shell and rails, delivering excellent stiffness‑to‑weight performance. The underside carbon finish enhances visual appeal while reinforcing structural integrity.

The carbon construction supports powerful pedalling while maintaining responsiveness and vibration control across varied road and off‑road surfaces.

RLS Technology for Serviceability and Sustainability

Selle Repente’s RLS (Replaceable Layer System) allows the carbon rails and shell to be replaced independently if damaged. This improves long‑term value, reduces waste, and simplifies servicing—an important advantage for riders working with professional bicycle service centres.

Ergonomic Shape with Anti‑Chafing Profile

The Close Fit saddle profile reduces pressure on the ischial bones while maintaining elevated rear support for stability. The Ergo Shape design contours the saddle edges to minimise inner‑thigh rubbing, supporting smooth pedalling and comfort during high‑cadence riding.

With compact dimensions of 260 mm by 142 mm, the Nomad 3D suits a wide range of rider positions and adapts well to both male and female anatomy.

Refined Aesthetic for Premium Builds

Finished in all black with a smooth, continuous surface, the Nomad 3D delivers a clean, modern look. Under direct light, subtle internal structure details become visible, adding understated character to premium road and gravel bike builds.
