Bontrager Inform RXL Saddle

BikeRadar verdict

35 out of 5 stars

"If you count the grams in pursuit of speed, this is the saddle for you"

By Russell Burton, What Mountain Bike

The Inform RXL from Bontrager is a true go-faster saddle with minimal padding and hollow titanium rails. With race saddles, paying more gets you less – weight, that is. And this is the lightest saddle we tested.

The barely-there padding is slightly softer through the nose section, which also has a grippier panel to help keep you in place as you hurtle towards the red mist zone.

Riding it, you feel very much perched, which works well when the power is on, but we found that even though it has a deep V at the back and titanium rails – both of which should help absorb shocks – this was still a hard ride.

It is available in different widths so you do get the opportunity to customise your pure racing pain.

Manufacturers description

The InForm RXL saddle is Bontrager's top of the line performance road saddle. Offered in three widths, each size has its own Size Specific Curvature which ensures the perfect match between the sit bones and pelvic structure of any rider. A custom tuned shell combined with Bontrager's Zone Density foam adds support and compliance exactly where it's needed, and hollow titanium rails ensure a lightweight, smooth ride. All Bontrager saddles are backed by the Unconditional Comfort Guarantee.
