Alpitude Navene Carbon Saddle
| Availability: | Out of stock |
Alpitude Navene Carbon Saddle is a handmade Italian full-carbon saddle designed for riders who want a very light saddle with a slightly more reinforced use profile than the Gardena. Its short, flat shape supports modern road, gravel, and XC positions while keeping the overall structure minimal and direct.
Navene uses a full-carbon shell and 7 x 9 mm carbon rails, with a claimed weight of approximately 72 g in the 130 mm version. It is the better Alpitude saddle choice when the build calls for ultralight construction but also needs a broader road, gravel, and XC use range.
Best For
Use Navene for lightweight road, gravel, and XC builds where low weight matters, but the rider wants a more reinforced use case than the Gardena. The short-fit shape works well for aggressive positions and riders who prefer a compact saddle platform.

Product Details
<Fit Note: Navene is not simply a wider Gardena. It should be positioned as Alpitude’s more versatile short-fit saddle for road, gravel, and XC builds, while Gardena remains the more road/gravel-specific ultralight option.
