The Alpitude Gardena is a pure full-carbon saddle built for riders who obsess over watts, grams, and clean lines.
Its 245mm short-fit shape keeps you locked in a powerful position, while the deep central cut-out and wide front relief reduce perineal pressure so you can push hard without going numb.
Hand-crafted in Italy, the Gardena uses carbon rails (7×9mm) and a tuned layup that blends stiffness for efficient power transfer with a touch of flex for road buzz control.
Pick your fit and finish: three widths (128 / 140 / 150mm) and multiple carbon weaves. Actual weights start at 69g (128mm), 73g (140mm), and 76g (150mm) in 3K Twill, with about +5g for UD/1K/6K finishes.
Max rider weight is 85kg; torque spec is 6Nm.
Whether you’re building a featherweight climber, a fast fondo rig, or just trimming mass without compromising feel, the Gardena delivers a razor-sharp, modern perch that looks sensational on any premium build.
