The Big Ring Kit-One TR Saddle and the Kit-One CH Saddles are designed for those who demand lightness and a precise performance set up.

A Full Carbon Racing Saddle is a great way to add performance to your bike – It reduces weight on your bike right at the top where it is felt most. When you get the saddle, design correct its comfortable and it works with you, delivering a great base of support to work from, allowing for more stability and comfort on the racing bike.

The Big Ring Kit-One saddles are low-profile and minimalist in design – this also promotes good aero as well.

Full Carbon saddles are super light and rely heavily on a great deal of hands on specialist construction techniques, this adds to the cost of the saddle but also allows for a lot more custom tuning of the saddles design and construction.

Full Carbon Saddles are beautiful bespoke pieces that give your bike that classy finishing touch – when teamed up with matching graphic options to complement The Big Ring Aero Endurance Frame or the vast range of The Big Ring Bicycle Apparel you get that extra dashof custom flair that is rarely seen in the market place.

For riders that want more subtle options we will have a plain Black on Black option.

High Quality Carbon Shell Design

Full Carbon saddles are notoriously stiff, the Kit-One saddles utilizes “State of the Art” Carbon Composites,Weaves and Resins that allow the shell to have small amount of controlled flex and great vibration dampening properties.

A rider who is in shape and rides regularly will be well toned and more suited to this style of saddle, with such a minimalist design. these ultra-firm saddles will often give better comfort than soft cushiony saddles, while still being miraculously light!

One of the most pleasing consequences of the carbon fibre saddle shell design, is that it allows the saddle to made with thinner denser lighterEVA foams and the foam actually performs better than they normally would,as the foam moves with the shell and reduces pressure points from building up and packing out under pressure from the rider. The EVA foam used in this saddle is only about 5mm thick it gives some extra suppleness to the Carbon Fiber shell and combined with the synthetic leather cover to give you more saddle grip than a traditional carbon fiber saddle with no cover or padding.

Braided Carbon Rails

Both Kit-One saddles run a Braided Carbon Rails – these rails are extremely light and flexible, great for reducing jarring and vibrations. The rails are bonded into the saddle shells, it is not a pressure fit like traditional saddles where the saddle rails are pressed into the plastic saddle shell, so the chance of unwanted noises or movement are eliminated. These rails are endowed with more shock absorption and strength than Titanium, Alloy or Steel saddle rail options.

 

Road Rider/Racer focused Product

These saddles are intended for riders with committed riding styles that ride with their weight on their hands and feet in the proper Road Race Position where you are more Aero and the majority of your leg muscles are more activated (like a crouching tiger), in this position you are also narrower and lighter on the saddle – and more dedicated to the “task at hand” ripping-down the road as fast as you can. The Ride quality offered from the saddle is very precise and feels fitted, the firmness of shape gives you a much more solid base to work from so less slipping back and forward and much less side to side movement, this helps you focus on your core muscle strength while riding so you will have a more stable platform to work from and turn out some nice high-watt cadence. This style of saddle is popular with professional riders not only for weight but also will also often give them better comfort as well.

Measuring your Sit Bones

The Kit-One CH and Kit-One TR Saddles are designed to work with 90-110mm sit bone width which will suit most riders if you want to double check your measurements do the following 4 steps

Step 1: Gather the proper materials. You will need pen, chalk or crayons, a tape measure and a piece of corrugated cardboard.

Step 2: Place the piece of cardboard a nice thick piece from heavy weight strong box is best, place the card board piece that is broader than your hip width on a lower to the ground surface like a coffee table or top of step of a stair case, sit down cardboard, this low position with legs up a little, places more weight on the sit bones in your pelvis and mimics your riding position.

Step 3: Stand up and if the indentations caused by your sit bones are not highly visible use the flat side (the long side length) of a piece of chalk or crayon to shade flat surface of the cardboard. The indentations made by your sit bones will not be picked up by the shading colour of the chalk or crayon and will be visible against the shaded surface. Note: if you got a nice thick piece of cardboard normally your sit bone indentations will be highly visible and you outline the round indentation with just a pen.

Step 4: Measure the distance between the centre’s of the two depressions left in the cardboard in millimetres. Draw a  X mark through the middle of both indentations and measure the distance between the two – You have your individual sit bone width.

We want you to get the longest possible service life out of your new riding kit – If you knew how much work we put into getting the perfect cut and the best possible high-performance materials you would be pedantic as well.
  • If you want your special kit to last as long as possible – do the following: WASH YOUR CYCLING KIT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER RIDING – sweat can be corrosive and break down the high elastic content in the material - The sooner the material is purged of the sweat the longer it will last.
  • Washing - You can hand wash - but we recommend cold to medium water temperature 30ºC degrees maximum. Machine wash on delicate cycle with the cycling kit placed in a delicate’s bag or wash the cycle clothing by itself. Turn the clothing inside-out, seams on the outside and zip up the Jersey fully. The use of a delicate liquid detergent is best, something that is specified as gentle – “Wool Mix” is a good gentle detergent to use. Also, don’t put the detergent directly on the clothing. Once Clothing has gone through the delicate wash cycle remove the bicycle clothing from washing machine. DON’T LEAVE WET IN THE MACHINE – It is also best not to select spin cycle it can be aggressive. Machine washing is best because it will do the wash cycle each time in a controlled gentle way when selecting the correct DELICATE CYCLE. Do not use fabric softeners.
  • Drying - Sun/UV is hard on everything – high elastic materials can suffer a bit more than other materials so don’t put them on the line to dry outside - also don’t put them into an electric dryer as the high heat can also weaken the elastic content of the material. Hang in-side or in the shade out of the sun to drip dry. NEVER PUT IN THE TUMBLE DRYER
Please note: Cheap, low-quality powdered detergents can cause discoloration of garments as detergent will often not be sufficiently dissolved prior to contact with fabrics. Damage of this nature will not be covered under warranty.
