The result is a very light, firm and direct saddle with a clean custom finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eE1 or E3?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGelu E1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe E1 is the stronger and more versatile E-Series option.

It suits road bikes, lightweight builds, fast recreational bikes and, in the E1 version, some MTB and urban builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"background:#f6f6f6; padding:18px 20px; margin:0 0 14px 0; border-radius:6px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer; font-weight:700;\"\u003eWhat is the difference between the E1 and E3?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:12px 0 0 0;\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"background:#f6f6f6; padding:18px 20px; margin:0 0 14px 0; border-radius:6px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer; font-weight:700;\"\u003eIs the E-Series the lightest Gelu saddle?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:12px 0 0 0;\"\u003eNo. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"background:#f6f6f6; padding:18px 20px; margin:0 0 14px 0; border-radius:6px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer; font-weight:700;\"\u003eIs the E-Series a comfort saddle?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:12px 0 0 0;\"\u003eNot 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"background:#f6f6f6; padding:18px 20px; margin:0 0 14px 0; border-radius:6px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer; font-weight:700;\"\u003eCan I ride forward on the E-Series?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:12px 0 0 0;\"\u003eYes. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"background:#f6f6f6; padding:18px 20px; margin:0 0 14px 0; border-radius:6px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer; font-weight:700;\"\u003eCan I customise the colours or design?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:12px 0 0 0;\"\u003eYes. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"background:#f6f6f6; padding:18px 20px; margin:0 0 14px 0; border-radius:6px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer; font-weight:700;\"\u003eHow long does delivery take?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:12px 0 0 0;\"\u003eDelivery is approx. 3 weeks.

Choose the E-Series if you want a compact saddle with a wider nose and a more supportive front section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"background:#f6f6f6; padding:18px 20px; margin:0 0 14px 0; border-radius:6px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer; font-weight:700;\"\u003eWhich Gelu saddle should I choose if I want more comfort?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:12px 0 0 0;\"\u003eIf 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"Gelu","offers":[{"title":"E3 (55g)","offer_id":57901657653408,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"E1 (65g)","offer_id":57901657686176,"sku":null,"price":599.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0456\/0112\/8608\/files\/E3CarbonSaddlebyGelu.jpg?v=1781526245","url":"https:\/\/bspokevelo.com.au\/products\/gelu-e-series-carbon-saddle","provider":"Bspoke Velo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
