If you’ve ever looked at your high-end road bike and thought, “This thing just isn’t expensive enough,” Prologo now has you covered — literally in gold. The Italian saddle maestros just unveiled the Prologo Dimension 18K, the world’s first saddle featuring rails crafted entirely from 18 karat gold. That’s right — your bike can now be just as bougie as your espresso machine.
Prologo Dimension 18K gold-railed saddle
At its core, the Dimension 18K shares the same DNA as Prologo’s standard Dimension R2, a multi-discipline saddle designed for comfort and performance, which you could already buy for a measly sum of 250€.
But this one?
It’s got gold rails.
Why?
Because Prologo wanted to push the boundaries of art, technology, and, presumably, your bank account. The brand promises “luxurious performance” and an “exclusive” ride feel — though whether gold provides any tangible performance benefit is up for debate (unless it somehow intimidates your riding buddies into letting you win every town line sprint).
Let’s not even talk about structural characteristics…
How to Get One?
As expected, this masterpiece of cycling excess will be a limited-edition release, available exclusively on Tuesday, April 1, 2025 (yes, you read that right).
It won’t be found at your local bike shop — only at Prologo’s finest jewelry retailers. Pricing will depend on daily gold market rates, meaning your saddle’s value might fluctuate more than your FTP during winter training.
Is it absurd? Absolutely. Do we want one anyway? Also, yes, oh — and pesci d’aprile!
