Australian saddle maker Thrones has introduced a speedy looking cover design featuring red racing stripes on a white background. With the white/red/black colorway flooding the bicycle market today, this new design will certainly be a popular choice among riders seeking a flashy aftermarket saddle.
The Speed Demon has the same shape and design as the other Thrones saddles. Driven by the idea that riders are not stationary while pedaling, the design is said to accommodate “the strange love dance that is riding”. Its nylon/carbon fiber base provides good flex while maintaining shape. It features a microfiber cover, hollow titanium rails, and a super light cover. Its rounded tail section will please cyclocross and mountain riders as well as roadies. It measures 293mm in length and 130mm in width at the sit bones which makes it ideal for most riders. The Speed Demon weighs in at 215 grams, and retails for $159.99. Whether it will give you demonic powers depends of course what you have in the legs.
