The unique challenges of gravel riding are experienced by the ORRO team regularly while testing bikes on our local Sussex Downs trails. This demanding terrain put us on a path to develop the Bostal Plus saddle, a perch which matches additional comfort with the added durability that adventurous riders expect. The Bostal is named after the local Sussex term used to describe a small road leading up a hill. Features Bostal saddles use a graduated closed cell padding which gets thicker and softer toward the tail. This specific material zoning, combined with a pressure relief channel, enhances comfort with the more upright geometries of gravel bikes.. Three cut-outs on the underside of the tough nylon base allow the material inside to compress in response to rider weight for a personally tuned level of comfort.. The Bostal Plus features ballistic nylon weave rear side panels for abrasion resistance in a high wear area.. In addition lightweight hollow Chromoly steel rails offer the perfect balance of durability, weight, and resistance to fatigue.. ORRO silver gloss detail complements the wear resistant microfiber upper with a matt surface finish that ensures repositioning while riding is never an issue..
