Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

prologo scratch pro 1.4

I like a quite comfortable saddle I am using a selle italia c2,but even this is not as comfortable as I thought.Its not as light as I would like it seems to be a saddle that might better on a mountain bike.

The scratch pro caught my eye,but I dont know anything about it.Various reviews say its like the fizik aliante just a little longer and harder.This sounds great to me because I have a aliante and found it too soft and short,its also a little wide as well.

The prologo is 134mm wide that is about a perfect fit for me.I also like a saddle that is a little longer,well longer than the aliante.It seems the scratch pro has a similar shape to the aliante just different dimensions.

Is it durable right now I would pay for a saddle that would fit even if it only lasted for a year.The prologo scratch looks good on the net and I can only buy online so I have never seen one.Always saddle choice is a risk,and buying online is even more of a risk.

I also found the Scratch Pro to be similar to the Aliante, just a bit harder and narrower. Its a popular saddle for sure, though I did not like it. I got too much perineal pressure. But it sounds like it might work for you. The cover is nice and they are made well (especially the TR version, which is the version the teams are riding and from what I understand is slightly improved over the standard Pro or Pro 1.4).

As far as I know its about the most popular saddle in the pro ranks.Yet there is hardly any reviews in any bike magazine or on the internet,that seeems very weird.

Perhaps prologo is a young company so in time it will be more seriously considered?I have a "try before you buy" demo saddle that I have for a week.Tried it today for the first time at it felt great very comfortable and it seems a promising saddle.Its not the lightest but whats a few grams hear or there.

It feels about 100% better than any fizik saddle I have ever tried ( and I have tried all 3 road saddles.)
Its a bit strange that there is not really any reviews on anywhere.However I feels like it could be the saddle for me after 3 years of searching.

I have a scratch pro and think its about the best saddle around.Its also about 1 year old but it still looks like new.My advice is use it as much as you can in the short time you have,if you are happy buy it its fantastic.Don't let internet or magazine reviews put you off in my opinion they are biased.Lots off professional guys use them and that must count forr something.
