San Marco’s new ‘Dirty’ line of saddles is designed for the gravity set, with models for downhill, freeride, slalom/four-cross and dirt jump riders. They use tough, lightweight rails with biofoam padding covered with durable cover materials.
The Zoncolan, above, will be rocked on the World Cup circuit this year by none other than Cedric Gracia (below). It features multizone padding with varying thicknesses throughout, placing more cush on the nose section. The rails are hollow cromoly and the shell is carbon-reinforced plastic. Shown above with the Freeride-Downhill graphics is the “Zoncolan Special Enduro”, there’s also “Skull” (held in image below) and “Dirty”. Claimed weight is 190g.
