FitnessComfort saddle with extra gel pad for men. As a crossover between touring- and sport saddle the figura is an ideal fit for cyclists with slightly stretched position and activities of medium intensity and dynamics. Due to the Terry 3-Zone Comfort Principle, saddle discomfort is a thing of the past.

Terry Saddle Technologies:
– Saddle ergonomics not only encompasses a well thought out design by our Terry experts, but also precise manufacturing and high quality materials. Terry saddles are designed to actively prevent problems when sitting on the bike. Quality and function combine to make a real difference you can feel when riding.

Handmade saddles: For a Superb Riding Experience:
– Handmade by Terry means that each saddle cover on select models is applied by hand to the seat foam—delivering the finest comfort possible. In the past the saddle shell and the seat foam were connected together using a vacuum compression method.
– Important: The foam is not glued to the saddle shell, but precisely adheres to it—reducing the tension between the two supporting components.

Innovative padding foams for the best possible pressure distribution:
– Terry utilizes high-performance PU or EVA foam padding to ensure an even pressure distribution of the sit bones on the saddle when riding the bike. The true quality of the foam lies in its composition. The cyclist’s sit bones should indent the foam without compressing it completely. Only the perfect degree of reset force prevents the rider from depressing the padding excessively – which could cause the sit bones to touch the underlying saddle shell – negating the foams supporting properties.
– PU (Polyurethane) is an organic foam, which is inherently stable and elastic at the same time. The saddle is comfortable without deforming too much, preventing the sit bones from sinking in too deeply into the padding.
– EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) is a synthetic foam with even better damping and comfort properties. It is also lighter, making EVA foams perfect for suspending the rider from vibrations and shocks from rough road or trail surfaces.
– These two foam technologies prevent pain and numbness in the genital and perineal area, increasing the fun of riding and improving comfort of the bike saddle.
– More differences are found in the production process.
– In the Air Cell® process the EVA foam is first manually glued to the saddle shell and the cover is applied on top. This way of
manufacturing is used with the older Arteria GT saddles.
– The ComfortFoam process uses PU foam for the Handmade Fisio, Figura GT and GTC seats. The Vacuum method is employed with the current versions of the Arteria and Exera Handmade seats

Improved relief through Comfort Gel:
– Many Terry saddles in the Race, Sport, Fitness, Touring and City category use specifically tuned ComfortGel inserts which distribute pressure in the sit bone area differently than foams and also ensure very good shock absorption. Combined with the anatomically shaped saddle shell this results in great comfort when seated and also reduces the saddles overall weight.

Surface Materials:
– Terry saddles are easy to care for and weatherproof. At Terry we have two different elastic cover materials: DuraLux Microfiber and WeatherMax DuraSilk.

The Terry seat rails:
– Terry bike saddles are durable, reliable and strong. One reason for this is we use saddle rails made from FeC or CroMo steel alloys. With FeC steel the rails are made from a thick wire. The CroMo rails, in contrast, are tubular and are lighter. To ensure the strength of the CroMo rails the steel is refined with alloy additives during production.

Wind/Spray protection:
– In some of our Terry saddle models we have integrated a wind and spray protection into the saddle shell. This keeps dirt and water from penetrating through the relief opening.
