The Kappa uses Prologo’s ‘semi-round’ shape, with the rear part occupying the middle ground between flat and rounded – a safe bet if you’re not sure which you prefer.
Lengthways it’s very flat, with a broad, dropped nose that works well with big drops to the bars, but some may want a more kicked-up tail.
There’s only a slight channel on top, but the hull is cut away underneath which allows the central section to give and reduce pressure. Its medium density padding will suit the recreational riders the Kappa targets.
