SDG Allure
£79.95
A long-nosed model with a narrow cut-out, the Allure is a women’s perch that’s designed for all riding disciplines. The PU foam padding feels chunky and is concentrated more around the sit bones and nose of the saddle, which curves downwards slightly. The cover is a stitched two-piece design, which looks like it might irritate, but we couldn’t feel it when riding. A nylon shell and titanium-alloy rails bring the total weight to 262g.
Aesthetically, the Allure is pretty ‘Marmite’, with brightly-coloured logos and accents, available in blue, pink, orange, red or white. The dense padding feels quite hard on the sit bones after a few hours of pedalling, providing less support as it compresses over time. Lastly, we really don’t like the name – what’s alluring about it? www.silverfish-uk.com
