Selle San Marco Saddles
SELLE SAN MARCO SQUADRA SADDLEThe Squadra series of saddles is, in the long term, the likely replacement of the Rolls series. The reason we consider the eventual replacement is that it's intended to made with several variations in the rail assembly. Presently, (February 1994) we have seen it only with Black Chrome plate spring steel rails, but their is already product release notices stating that it will available with hollow Cro-Moly and Titanium rail assemblies. The Squadra shell is made of molded nylon, with molded in rear rail receivers. A rail return curve bridge is molded 2 1/8" from the saddle tip. Molded high density foam padding covers the shell tip to tail providing a comfortable base for the cover. The Squadra is the first of the San Marco saddles with what they will call HDP, the abbreviation of Hytrel Du Pont. Hytrel is a thermopolymer developed by Du Pont, that San Marco has molded into an arch shape which fits beneath the foam padding and the shell, arch upward. As pressure is applied downward, the Hytrel arch is said to yield gradually under the riders weight providing smooth comfort, then return to its arch shape once the weight is relieved.
