【SDG】Animal-Themed Saddles / Bel Air V3 Animal Throwback

2024/9/5 福島舞花

Welcome To The Jungle!

A saddle is one of the key contact points between a rider and their bike. Since it directly affects comfort and ease of riding, and because it's a relatively easy part to adjust or replace, it’s a component we’re all quite familiar with, isn't it?

As a new option for such an important part, we’ve just received the incredibly cute Bel Air V3 Animal Throwback, a saddle that’s sure to grab everyone’s attention!

As many of you may know, this is a revival of the highly sought-after animal print lineup that put Southern California saddle and seatpost manufacturer SDG on the map. In celebration of the brand's 15th anniversary, they’ve brought back this most-requested item!

Let’s introduce the three animals that have taken over these saddles♪

Leopard

The "Leopard" was the clear favorite among our staff.
While it might look flashy (well, it is pretty bold), it surprisingly matches well with any frame color, adding a touch of flair to your setup.

Tiger

For those who want to ride with a wild flair, the "Tiger" brings that fierce look. It also has that quintessential feline cuteness that makes you just want to pet it, doesn't it?

Cow

The "Cow" is my personal top pick. Don't worry about it getting dirty—if anything, once it wears in a little, it takes on a more authentic look that you’ll probably find even more endearing. It’s the perfect match for a white frame.

Don't let the cuteness fool you; the specs are top-notch

While these saddles are all about the cute aesthetic, their performance is nothing to sneeze at. The underlying Bel Air V3 features a wider nose, a relief channel in the base, and a slight rear rise for a comfortable ride. Its balanced volume makes it a versatile saddle that works well with just about any bike.

It’s a versatile saddle that provides comfort not just for casual city riding, but for all kinds of cycling scenarios!

For a bike you'll love even more

But really, these saddles are just so cute.

They have such a strong presence that it’s amazing how much they can change the look of a bike. With these animal prints—and that soft, fuzzy texture—you can’t help but feel a certain charm.
