Despite the many awesome distractions of Portland Design Works HQ, such as a mini velodrome and full size basketball goal, PDW still manages to pump out fresh bicycle accessories and components.
Recently unveiled is Dios Thronous, the first saddle to be constructed of waterproof eva foam, the same material Chrome and other popular brands use to pad bag straps. On top of being waterproof, PDW claims the saddle is scuffproof, comfy, durable, and relatively light weight. It hits the scales at 295g with steel rails. Pricing is $40 in black, red, white, and green. Pictures after the break…
We’ll be giving this saddle a spin, so stay tuned for hands-on durability testing and closeups.
