Essax Shark Biomechanical Saddle - Chrome Rail - Small Fin

The Evolution of the bicycle saddle is here.

The biomechanical saddle is designed to help cyclists sit correctly and maximise the force of the pedalling.
This way we can avoid or eliminate hip rotations, also know as perineal pressure inconvenience, groin discomfort and other inguinal discomfort known as cycling discomforts.

The Shark also provides much stronger pelvic stability and it equals lateral pressures of the ischia (sitbones) which translates to a more efficient pedalling efficiency and improved performance (+/- 10%)

The key feature is its saddle fin which stops the rider from varying his/her position to incorrect positions like on other saddles.

AF-NET
AF-Net is a revolutionary move forward in saddle technology. The AF-Net matrix that is built into every Essax Saddle has been proven through totally independent testing to improve performance by an average of 4%.

In the independent test Caja Rural rider Garcia Raul Alarcon was asked to hold  200,300 & 400W for 15 minute periods with a 10minute est period between each set at 150W.

The test was held over 3 days, testing saddles in different orders and every time the riders heart rate was lower using the Essax saddle to maintain the wattage output. So in short the rider was having to work less to output the same power and when he worked at the same heart rate his power output was greater hence providing a performance gain through Af-Net technology.
The test showed a 2.5% performance gain with an Essax saddle against a Fizik Arione saddle and in all tests an average of +4% has been found.

New technology AF-NET.
Tested by the professional team of Caja Rural:

ANTI FATIGUE NET:
+38%  more rigid
+63%  more rigid to the sitting impact
+70%  more resistance to dynamic fatigue
+4,7% more efficiency & improved performance
