Prologo redesigned their flagship short fit on- & off-road saddle with this new Dimension R2 that shaves a full 15% of weight off its already light predecessor. The new saddle keeps the same overall V-shape and dimensions but leverages more advanced materials and carbon construction to shed significant weight. Plus, Prologo refined the Dimension R2’s ergonomics, reworking a 30% wider and more smoothly curved tip to improve rider comfort when perched on the nose of the saddle…
Prologo Dimension R2 lightweight short-fit XC & road saddle
Prologo describes the original Dimension as their first short saddle, with an “innovative V-shape design [that] made it one of the most appreciated and used by many champions; a true icon both on and off-road.” With such a popular platform, they were a bit reluctant to change too much, so set about refining it.
What’s new?
The big highlight is ~24g weight reduction, mainly shedding grams thanks to a new lightweight EVA foam that gives the same level of support and comfort, but with 20% thinner padding. Otherwise, it features Prologo’s top lightweight Nack reinforced carbon rails and injection molded Long Fiber Carbon composite shell construction.
Equally important, the Dimension R2 gets subtle ergonomic updates, as well. Studying how to improve performance, Prologo gave the new Dimension R2 a 2mm wider nose with a more rounded profile for additional comfort. “In addition, the central part has been redesigned and has a flat surface, to facilitate an even more advanced and aerodynamic [riding] position.”
