“The Bel-Air V3 line of saddles borrows the comfort-proven profile of the original Bel-Air but is wrapped in an updated modern package. While utilizing the slight rear rise of the Bel-Air, it provides extra support, comfort, and power from the seated position for any long epic adventures. The V3 saddle has been slimmed down – now shorter in overall length to match current bike geometries, along with the reduced hips to extend a sleeker appearance without jeopardizing any comfort. Additionally, the updated Bel-Air profile is now constructed with free float comfort flex rail inserts, allowing more forgiveness at the wings and a new hidden cut-out relief to maximize comfort further. The Bel-Air V3 is finished off with ATMOS Shaping, eliminating the need for bumpers, staples, or glue, leaving a seamless vacuum-sealed cover and a new sonic welded edges protection edges for further durability.”

“Whether you seek flowy singletracks or one-hundred-mile gravel rides, the new Bel-Air V3 Overland has you covered. Using the Bel-Air DNA with 20+ years of proven award-winning design, we created a low profile EVA foam, emphasized with a full-cutout relief and a reduced rear rise design (not found on other Bel-Air V3 models). The Overland offers premium comfort from the more aggressive riding position without jeopardizing the sleeker appearance. This Bel-Air V3 Overland comes in a one-piece, soft microfiber cover for friction-free movement with ATMOS Shaping, which eliminates the need for bumpers, staples, or glue, leaving a seamless vacuum-sealed cover and is equipped with Lux-Alloy Rails.”
