Berk Composites Lupina Padded Carbon Saddle - Oval 7x9mm Rail
Berk Composites may be a relatively unknown company in the world of cycling, but thanks to their supremely lightweight, rigid and race-ready saddles enhancing times and comfort when going full-tilt, they sure are a name to watch out for. With the Berk Composites Lupina Padded Leather Carbon Saddle offering all of these features, but adding a new level of comfort thanks to leather padding, this saddle is the perfect choice for the discerning, long-distance racer.
Offering a central cut-out channel to improve pressure distribution around the saddle and with an optimised shape to assure you of comfort, this version of the Lupina is faceted with a light padding allowing for enhanced fit and feel. All the while retaining a light construction, this saddle weighs not more than 95 grams in it's largest iteration.
Handmade in Europe to the highest specifications by performance cyclists, this saddle benefits from 7mm diameter carbon rails for improved stiffness, and offers fantastic support for the rider up to 100 kilos in weight.

Having tried so many other brands to find that illusive saddle, I can honestly say I have finally discovered it. Coming from a Power saddle at 143mm, I was told this was too wide during a bike fit session, and so was fitted out with a 132mm Italian brand. Wow, what a significant difference to my comfort! I researched lighter brands of saddle (at 132mm) and decided to buy the Berk. I have covered many miles the saddle, which I would recommend. It's super light, mega comfortable and allows so much more room for manoeuvrability vs the Power saddle.
