No matter the road
Gravel riding has changed significantly in recent years.
Rides have become longer, routes more varied, and it’s now common to move from fast tarmac to rough sections within the same ride, often without any real breaks. That makes things more engaging, but also more demanding.
When the terrain shifts this often, the saddle becomes a key component. It needs to provide support when pushing hard, comfort as the hours go by, and stability when the surface gets uneven.
Shortfit Allroad was developed to meet this need in a practical, concrete way.
Gravel today: speed, distance, unpredictability
A gravel ride is rarely consistent. Smooth sections alternate with more technical terrain, and there are moments where handling becomes just as important as pedalling.
Distances have also increased in recent years, both in racing and in personal rides or bikepacking.
The result is a constantly evolving riding style: position shifts, weight distribution changes, and effort levels vary throughout the ride.
In this context, a saddle needs to remain predictable and stable, without becoming a limitation when pace or terrain changes.
Shortfit Allroad is designed to follow these variations, maintaining a balance between comfort and control.
A saddle designed for every terrain
The Shortfit geometry, compact and direct, makes it easier to find the right position and adjust it when needed.
In gravel riding, this is particularly useful: you can move forward when pushing on tarmac or shift slightly back on more technical sections, without losing stability.
The waved shape helps keep the pelvis in place and distributes weight more evenly. This makes pedalling smoother, even on uneven terrain.
The result is a saddle that follows the rider’s movements and adapts to different riding conditions.
Bow Rail System: managing vibrations over long distances
In gravel riding, vibrations are constant. They don’t come only from major impacts, but from a continuous series of small inputs that build up over time.
The Bow Rail System is designed to address this.
The structure allows the shell a greater degree of movement relative to the rails. This improves the saddle’s ability to adapt to uneven terrain, without compromising stability.
In practical terms:
- it reduces fatigue over long distances
- improves control on rough surfaces
- makes pedalling smoother
The integrated Shock Absorbers help filter higher-frequency vibrations, typical of gravel roads and broken tarmac, contributing to a more stable ride over time.
A complete range for different types of riders
Gravel riders approach the discipline in different ways. Some focus on speed, others on distance, others simply on spending more time on the bike.
For this reason, Shortfit Allroad is available in different versions, each designed for specific needs.
Designed for riders who spend a lot of time in the saddle.
It offers consistent comfort and reliable support, with a solid construction and steel rails built for durability. It’s a dependable choice for long and frequent rides.
Here the focus is on responsiveness.
A lighter structure and Xsilite rails improve feel and control, especially on faster or more technical sections. It suits riders looking for a more precise and direct ride.
Shortfit Allroad Supercomfort Racing
Developed for long distances.
The integrated gel helps distribute pressure more evenly and reduce peak loads in contact areas, improving comfort over time. At the same time, it contributes to vibration absorption.
Combined with Xsilite rails, it offers a strong balance between lightness, support and shock absorption.
Two sizes for a precise fit
Shortfit Allroad is available in two sizes, S and L, to suit different body types and riding styles. Choosing the right size helps improve:
- weight distribution
- long-distance comfort
- pedalling efficiency
In gravel riding, the terrain changes constantly, often without warning.
You need a saddle that remains reliable in all these situations, without requiring constant adjustments from the rider.ù
Shortfit Allroad is designed for this: to provide support, comfort and control throughout the ride, from smooth tarmac to the roughest sections.
