We don't talk enough about saddles. Yet, it's the most important contact point between you and your bike — and the primary source of discomfort on long rides. A poorly fitting saddle turns every mile into an ordeal. The Prologo Proxim W400 T2.0, available at Routes and Roads, is one of the few truly versatile saddles on the market: it works equally well on an electric mountain bike or a gravel bike, on trails or for daily commuting in Paris.
What sets it apart from classic saddles: The Proxim W400 is only 255 mm long — shorter than average. This choice is not insignificant. A short saddle reduces pressure points in the perineal area, which radically changes comfort on rides of 2 hours or more. Its widened and inclined nose frees up hip movement during pedaling, which is immediately felt when standing or accelerating.
The MSS (Multi Support System) is the real technical innovation of this model. The seating surface is divided into independent zones with foams of different densities — each zone responds differently depending on your position. In a low position on the handlebars, the support is not the same as in an upright position. The saddle adapts instead of imposing.
The Active Base System incorporates a central cutout that relieves soft tissues over time, and the cover is water and mud resistant — useful when riding all year round in Île-de-France. The reflective elements and the rear handle for carrying complete a package truly designed for daily use as well as adventure.
Weight: 262 grams with T2.0 chromoly steel rails — a good balance between strength and lightness for a saddle of this positioning.
For whom? For all those who have tried several saddles without ever finding the right compromise between comfort and freedom of movement. Whether you commute daily in Paris, go for gravel rides on weekends, or electric mountain biking in the forest, the Proxim W400 covers all these uses without compromise.
