The PRO Griffon Offroad Saddle is designed for cyclists who aren’t very flexible.
The body flexibility that PRO thinks will work best with this seat is if you’re standing up and can’t reach down and touch your fingers to the ground. But this is just a general guideline; if you like gently curved saddles, you’ll like this.
The top is a smooth, durable polyurethane with textured bumpers on the sides and grippy elements on the top to help keep you in position. There’s a pressure relief channel running the length of the saddle. The EVA padding is similar to what you’ll find on the road, but different densities and thicknesses, to better account for the rougher riding you’ll find in the dirt. The nose, relative to the Turnix is wider.
The saddle also comes in three widths, 132, 142, 152mm, which is the widest point of the saddle as measured from under the saddle. If you want something that hews to a standard, then the 142mm width should be the default; it will work for most people. If you have a saddle and want a way to compare, measure your current saddle first to decide on width—measure the widest point from the bottom. If you keep on sliding forward, that’s an indication your current saddle could be too wide, so you’ll want the narrower one. If you find yourself falling over the back, then you might want wider. They’ve also found that the more upright one sits, the better they typically do on a wider saddle.
As is PRO’s preference, there’s a generous distance between the rails and the saddle shell. This is for both comfort, harder for your legs to get pinched between the saddle and rails, and for ease of adjustment.
The Turnix Offroad, like many PRO saddles, has an integrated accessory mount in the back. It can work with PRO’s saddle accessories including: a fender, repair kit, and camera mount.
There is one rail choice for the PRO Turnix Offroad. Round steel rails made of Inox steel. Weight is 216g for the 132mm width saddle.
