Fabric has added the new Line Wide, which measures 142mm across at the rear, versus 134mm for the standard Line saddle. The Wide version will be available with Cro-mo ($70) or Ti ($90) rails and uses their cushy low density foam with a deep center channel to relieve pressure on your sensitive bits. Top down comparison photo below, along with a look at their new Tri saddles and some unique ergo grips for your mountain bike…

The new Tri saddle also has a center channel, which gets deeper toward the front since that’s where you tend to have more weight on the soft goods when tucked into the elbow rests.

It’ll come with three rail options -Cro-mo ($80), Ti ($100) or Carbon ($200)- and works with their bolt-in water bottle cage mount.

The new Semi-Ergo lock-on grip is a grippy, squishy rubber that has a slight bump in the center to support the meat of your hand.

Their Silicone lock-on grip uses a different method to add comfort, letting you customize it to your liking. Want it thinner under the palm for better bar feel? Just set it with the thin side facing you. Need more cushion for a rougher trail or all-day ride? Spin it 180º to put the thicker half under your hand. The lock-on clamp keeps it where you set it. Available in white, red, black, blue and green.

The silicone grip solves both of my dislikes about esi grips. Lack of a clamp and some texture. I’ll buy these.

Yikes. The side-profile of that tri saddle looks like a high-heel.

Having just yesterday bought a new Selle Italia saddle for my lilac-coloured bike, I’m just slightly annoyed that Fabric have release a saddle with a purple stripe that would suit my bike completely 🙁

I’ve found my saddle. Now, where can I find tires with a skull tread pattern?

That center channel will pool water in a rainstorm.
