Selle Repente Prime 3.0 Carbon Saddle – (132mm/142mm options)

The Selle Repente Prime 3.0 Carbon Saddle (132 mm or 142mm option) is a precision‑engineered performance saddle designed for cyclists who demand superior comfort, efficient power transfer, and lightweight carbon construction. Weighing just 160 grams (165g for 142mm), the Prime 3.0 is ideal for road cycling, endurance riding, and high‑kilometre training, making it a popular upgrade at leading bike shops.

Developed using extensive anatomical and ergonomic research, the Prime 3.0 transforms natural leg movement into improved pedalling efficiency while maintaining comfort over long distances.

Ergonomic Shape Designed for Freedom of Movement

The Prime 3.0 – 132 mm and 142mm wide is built to support cyclists who require a wider saddle platform while preserving unrestricted hip and leg movement. The rear shape provides a uniform contact area, allowing stable support without interfering with the natural downstroke of the pedal cycle.

This design creates a balance between comfort and performance, supporting efficient power delivery during sustained efforts and long Brisbane road rides.

Wide Central Anatomical Channel for Pressure Relief

A generously widened central anatomical channel runs through the saddle, reducing perineal pressure and improving blood flow during extended seated riding. This feature helps minimise discomfort and numbness, making the Prime 3.0 particularly effective for endurance cyclists and riders covering long distances on Queensland roads.

Enhanced Padding for Long‑Distance Comfort

To support riders who benefit from a 132 mm or 142 mm saddle width, the Prime 3.0 features increased padding thickness across the entire saddle surface. The padding is made from super‑lightweight EVA foam, chosen for its excellent shock‑absorption and minimal weight.

This cushioning improves comfort on uneven road surfaces and over long training sessions without compromising pedalling efficiency.

Supportive Nose for Aero and Forward Positions

The saddle nose features additional padding with a square‑section profile, providing stable support when riders move forward into aggressive or aerodynamic positions. This makes the Prime 3.0 suitable for riders who frequently change position during long rides, climbs, or high‑intensity efforts.

Carbon‑Reinforced Shell and Full Carbon Rails

The saddle structure is built from PA12 polymer reinforced with long carbon fibres (LCF), delivering a well‑controlled balance of stiffness and flex. This construction supports efficient power transfer while reducing fatigue.

The UD T700 carbon fibre rails (7 x 9 mm) provide exceptional strength‑to‑weight performance and compatibility with modern performance seatposts commonly used on high‑end road and endurance bikes.

Non‑Slip Cover with RLS Technology

The Prime 3.0 saddle is finished with a water‑based, non‑slip PU microfiber cover, allowing riders to maintain a stable position while still moving freely when needed. This surface has proven durability and grip, even in hot and humid conditions often experienced by Brisbane cyclists.

Selle Repente’s RLS (Replaceable Layer System) allows the saddle cover to be replaced independently, reducing maintenance costs and waste and supporting long‑term saddle use through professional bicycle servicing.

Refined Black Finish with Functional Graphics

Minimal black graphics enhance durability and feature a subtle glossy pattern along the sides of the mid‑front section. This detail reduces inner‑thigh chafing while adding a refined aesthetic to modern road bike builds.
