Gelu E-Series Carbon Saddle
The Gelu E-Series gives you a short, compact full-carbon saddle with a more planted front section and a secure feel under load.
It is built for riders who want the weight saving and clean look of a full-carbon saddle, but prefer a slightly wider nose and a more supportive feel when riding forward.
The E-Series is not Gelu’s lightest saddle. It is not the longest Gelu shape. It is not the carbon spring comfort option. It is the compact support saddle in the Gelu range.

What makes the E-Series different?
The E-Series uses a short 240mm platform with a 126mm width and a 47mm nose.
That wider nose gives you more support when you are riding forward, climbing, pushing hard or moving around on the saddle.
The central opening is designed to reduce pressure through the middle of the saddle, especially through the prostate region.
Like other Gelu saddles, the E-Series uses a full-carbon construction with a pre-preg carbon top and pre-preg carbon rails. The result is a very light, firm and direct saddle with a clean custom finish.
E1 or E3?
Gelu E1
The E1 is the stronger and more versatile E-Series option. At approx. 65g with a 115kg rider limit, it gives you the E-Series shape with more rider-weight margin and a more practical everyday build.
Best suited to: road bikes, MTB, fast recreational riding, urban bikes and riders wanting a stronger compact carbon saddle.
Gelu E3
The E3 is the lighter version of the same E-Series shape. At approx. 55g with an 85kg rider limit, it suits lighter riders who want to push the saddle weight lower while keeping the compact support feel of the E-Series.
Best suited to: road bikes, lightweight builds, lighter riders and riders wanting the lighter E-Series option.
Personalise your Gelu saddle
Every Gelu saddle is handmade in Portugal and can be personalised to suit your bike.
You can add your own colours, name, logos or design details, giving you a saddle that looks like it belongs on your build rather than another standard black component.
For custom designs, download the Gelu design template, add your colours and design details, then send it through with your order.

Gelu E-Series FAQs
Who is the Gelu E-Series best for?
The E-Series is best for riders who want a compact full-carbon saddle with a more planted feel at the front. It suits road bikes, lightweight builds, fast recreational bikes and, in the E1 version, some MTB and urban builds.
What is the difference between the E1 and E3?
The E1 is the stronger option at approx. 65g with a 115kg rider limit. The E3 is the lighter option at approx. 55g with an 85kg rider limit. The shape is the same, but the E1 gives you more rider-weight margin.
Is the E-Series the lightest Gelu saddle?
No. The K-Series is Gelu’s lightest and most minimal saddle shape. The E-Series is the compact support option, with a wider nose and a more planted front feel.
Is the E-Series a comfort saddle?
Not in the same way as Gelu’s spring-style saddles. The E-Series is firm, short and supportive. The comfort comes from the wider nose, compact shape and central opening, not from padding or a carbon spring rear section.
Can I ride forward on the E-Series?
Yes. That is one of the key reasons to choose the E-Series. The 47mm nose gives more support when you move forward on the saddle, especially when climbing or riding harder efforts.
Can I customise the colours or design?
Yes. Gelu saddles can be personalised with colours, names, logos and other design details. They are handmade in Portugal, so customisation is one of the big reasons to choose Gelu.
How long does delivery take?
Delivery is approx. 3 weeks. Custom designs may vary slightly depending on the detail required.
Which Gelu saddle should I choose if I want the lightest option?
Choose the Gelu K-Series if weight is the main priority. Choose the E-Series if you want a compact saddle with a wider nose and a more supportive front section.
Which Gelu saddle should I choose if I want more comfort?
If you want Gelu’s carbon spring comfort concept, look at the J-Series, F-Series or C-Series. The E-Series is firmer, shorter and more compact, with support coming from the shape rather than a spring-style rear section.
