EXPERT MTB seat insert
GORE‘s expert level seat inserts are designed to offer maximum protection and comfort for all ride lengths and intensities. A complex shape and dense foam construction minimizes impacts and avoids numbness by taking pressure off critical areas. The shapes of the different zones provide optimized rider positioning by rotating the pelvis to guarantee a comfortable but efficient contact between the seatbones and saddle.
T
he Expert level offers two different seat insert constructions to give these specific cyclists more options to choose from:
- 1. A complex multi-layered construction with unpadded wings for better venting, breathability and lighweight. It comes equipped with a fast drying surface fabric
- 2. A skived foam technology which offers a maximum of air permeability and quick drying by using an open cell foam construction and a smooth mircofiber fabric surface
Expert 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
Mountainbike
The rider’s seating position on a mountainbike is usually more upright compared to a roadbike rider’s position. The main contact and weight distribution of the rider on the saddle is shifted backwards, with a much wider seatbone angle and a more rearward tilting of the pelvis. GORE® Wear mountainbike-specific seat inserts support this position with the use of different shapes and materials where needed to offer maximum comfort and protection.
