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

The Selle Repente Spyd 3.0 Carbon Saddle (132 mm or 142mm option) is a rigid, lightweight performance saddle designed for cyclists who prefer a flat shell without a traditional cut‑out, while still benefiting from modern pressure‑relief design. Weighing approximately 165 grams, the Spyd 3.0 is engineered for road cycling, gravel riding, and mountain biking, making it a versatile upgrade available from professional bicycle service and bike fitting centres.

Developed with the latest construction technologies and rider feedback, the Spyd 3.0 offers stability, freedom of movement, and long‑ride comfort in a minimalist, performance‑oriented form.

Flat Shell Design with Full‑Length Pressure Relief Channel

Unlike fully open saddles, the Spyd 3.0 uses a continuous flat shell combined with a wide, full‑length relief channel moulded into the saddle surface. This design reduces perineal pressure while maintaining uniform support across the sitting area.

The extended channel improves blood flow and comfort during long rides, while the even top surface makes the saddle well suited to riders who prefer consistent support rather than split‑shell designs. The geometry also adapts well to female riders, supporting a wide range of anatomies.

Optimised for Riders Requiring a 132 mm or 142mm Platform

Designed specifically as a 132 mm or 142mm wide saddle, the Spyd 3.0 suits riders who benefit from a slightly wider seating base without excessive bulk. Additional padding thickness improves comfort for riders with broader sit bone spacing or those spending extended time seated on uneven terrain.

This makes the Spyd 3.0 equally effective for endurance road rides, gravel adventures, and off‑road cycling around Brisbane and South East Queensland.

Close Fit Rear Support with Free Hip Movement

The rear section of the saddle retains Selle Repente’s signature Close Fit profile, providing firm and stable support under the sit bones. The sides of the saddle are sculpted to allow maximum freedom of the hip joint, improving pedal stroke efficiency during high‑cadence riding.

This shaping supports a stable pedalling platform while avoiding restrictions that can reduce comfort or power output over time.

Lightweight Carbon‑Reinforced Structure

The Spyd 3.0 saddle shell is manufactured from PA12 polymer reinforced with long carbon fibres (LCF technology). This construction delivers a precise balance of stiffness and controlled flex, helping absorb vibration while maintaining efficient power transfer.

The saddle rails are constructed from UD T700 carbon fibre with a 7 x 9 mm profile, offering excellent strength‑to‑weight performance and compatibility with modern performance seatposts used on high‑end road and gravel bikes.

EVA Padding with Durable Anti‑Slip Cover

Comfort is enhanced by super‑lightweight EVA padding, selected for its shock‑absorbing properties and minimal weight. The padding is covered with a water‑based microfiber surface featuring an anti‑slip finish, allowing riders to maintain an optimal position without limiting natural movement.

The saddle also incorporates Selle Repente’s RLS (Replaceable Layer System), allowing the cover to be replaced independently in the event of damage. This reduces long‑term ownership costs and supports sustainable servicing.

Clean Black Finish with Functional Graphics

The Spyd 3.0 is finished in a clean black colourway, with subtle glossy graphics on the front section. These details are designed not only for appearance but also to reduce inner‑thigh chafing, improving comfort during long rides and high‑intensity efforts.
