Rapidé T:F 147 Saddle
Original price was: R950.00.R499.00Current price is: R499.00.
The new Rapidé T:F 147 is an evolution of our popular T:F 135 saddle and uses all the great features developed on original T:F 135 saddle integrated into a shorter, wider chassis.
The smooth seamless surface makes it easy to find your preferred position and the dual density shell has a cutout for maximum comfort.
While the saddle is shorter than the original T:F saddle we have been careful not to shorten it to the point where the rider cannot re position themselves when needed.
The area directly under the sit bones is a softer, flexible compound to prevent pressure points developing and enhance comfort, while the rest of the shell is made of a stiffer material to maintain the saddles shape.
The cut out in the shell in the perennial area doesn’t go right through to the surface of the saddle, therefore there are no creases or edges that could pinch or create pressure points.
The nose section has an embossed non slip section to help the rider hold their position.
The rails are strong, light and reliable cr-mo and are marked with a guide to help you position the saddle perfectly, everytime.
The Rapide T:F 147 Saddle is the perfect saddle for all cycling disciplines – road, MTB, TT, triathlon no matter how long the ride may be.

Very comfortable. Did 65 km on Sunday at modderfontien and have never felt better after a ride. For the price you you wont get a better saddle. Very good value. Very happy with the efficient service.
Cheers

The best saddle I ever rode on, I have an older one on a bike and it is holding up very good so they are durable too.

With this saddle you don’t need padded pants – it is that good. I ride in normal shorts for hours at an end.

My very first ride with this saddle was a 140km MTB ride with some rugged terrain and 1700m elevation. Very impressed with the level of comfort. Looking forward to the 300km, 600km and 1000km rides on this one.

Only done a handful of rides so far, but this is one of the comfiest saddles I’ve used. Finish is really top quality (as is to be expected from Rapide). Wouldn’t have minded black rails, but that’s nitpicking.

As others have stated, the delivery time was incredibly fast, just two days!
I had purchased the T:F 147 to replace my old Fizik Aliante.
After using the T:F 147, I find the saddle extremely comfortable with the greatest rear support that I’d had not found on my OEM GIant saddle nor the Fizik. At 285g, the weight is acceptable and great value for money. Looks and feels the part too.
Thank you Wayne for a great service!

The most comfortable and well-made saddle I have had. Not only supreme value for money, but exceptional quality too (competes with saddles four times its price). And Rapidé’s customer service is the best there is.

Enjoying the wider saddle. Length is more that ample to change positions whilst riding. Did 100kms+ in the first two days, very comfortable.

My 5th one of these saddles. All present and past bikes. Nothing else comes close.

This is hands down the best saddle ever. I had used it previously for 5 years but after developing prostate inflammation I tried various cutout saddles but all gave me extreme pain. Got a rapide saddle for Christmas and did a 100km ride with no pain at all. A double thumbs up Rapidé

Great saddles, this is my second one, and no other saddle comes close to the value for money.
