Advanced level seat insert features:

• Gender specific shapes based on anatomical differences between women and men
• GORE® WINDSTOPPER® Cup Technology for windprotection, climate control and pressure release through the addition of an anatomically shaped cup at the tip of the insert
• ‘Bacteriostatic’ is a special treated surface fabric that ensures a hygienic environment and provides perfect moisture management
• High level of elasticity in all materials for exceptional fit and comfort for the athlete in motion
• Mountain- or roadbike specific designs address differences in seating positions and rider weight distribution

Roadbike
When on a roadbike, the rider’s position is moved forward and is mostly static, as opposed to on a mountainbike, when the rider more frequently moves on and off of the saddle. The forward leaning road position also causes the pelvis to rotate toward the front, which results in a narrower seatbone angle at the point of contact between rider and saddle.
To accommodate this specific position, GORE® road seat inserts are engineered with a road-specific shape, level of protection, and support to maximize comfort for long days in the saddle.
