Not to be confused with Aerogel, Avocet provides a Gel variation on their series 40 saddles, for those who want their Titanium under a Gel type saddle. The model 50 uses exactly the same shell, padding, and has the same Titanium rail assembly. It's difference comes in two forms. Over the foam padding there is a package of Gel material, which adds thickness and cushion to the saddle. The package extends 1" from the rear up to 1 3/4" from the tip of the nose.
It lies on top and drapes slightly, just slightly, down the sides. Because of the Gel's required "give", Black Lycra stretch fabric, rather than leather, is the outer covering of the 50 series saddles The Avocet 50 saddles come in three styles, Mens (touring), Womens (touring), and Racing. Use the silhouette images to judge each shape and their relative sizes. The exact weights and dimensions are provided in the saddle table, however the racing model weighed 295 grams. $ Price in Catalog
