The shape of RAMUS saddle has been optimized so that the saddle keeps its form with the help of bike’s seat clamp.

RAMUS saddle has grade 5 titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) rails which are very rigid and also a critical component of the saddle’s overall rigidity.

Tighten the saddle clamp screws as thight as your bike/seatpost manufacturer recommends before you start using the saddle.
