FAQs

What type of rails does the Deity Speedtrap AM Saddle use?

The saddle uses Cr-Mo (Chromoly) rails, which offer a good balance of strength, durability, and weight.

Is this saddle suitable for long-distance riding?

Yes, the mid-density EVA foam and ergonomic design are intended to provide comfort for extended periods, making it suitable for long rides.

How do I clean the synthetic cover?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the synthetic cover. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.

What does the Kevlar on the sides do?

The Kevlar sides provide enhanced durability and protection against scuffs and abrasion, while also offering improved grip.

Is this saddle gender-specific?

The product description indicates it is suitable for adult unisex use, designed with broad compatibility in mind.

What is the benefit of the SDG Components collaboration?

This collaboration combines SDG's expertise in saddle design and manufacturing with Deity's styling and rider-focused approach, aiming for a high-performance product.

How does the foam density affect comfort?

Mid-density EVA foam offers resilient cushioning that supports the rider without being too soft (which can cause fatigue) or too hard (which can be uncomfortable).

Troubleshooting

Saddle creaking

Check that the saddle clamp on the seat post is tightened correctly. Apply a small amount of grease to the saddle rails where they meet the clamp.

Discomfort during rides

Adjust the saddle's position (fore/aft, tilt) on the seat post. Ensure the saddle height is set correctly for your riding style. A break-in period may be required for the foam to conform to your body.

Slipping on the saddle

Ensure your cycling shorts are clean and free of any lubricants. The Kevlar sides are designed for grip; ensure they are free of dirt or debris.

Visible wear on synthetic cover

Clean the cover gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials. Minor wear is normal for a high-use item, but significant damage may indicate excessive abrasion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Deity Speedtrap AM Saddle uses standard Cr-Mo rails, making it compatible with most seat post clamp systems. Ensure your seat post clamp is properly adjusted to securely hold the saddle rails without over-tightening. Position the saddle on your seat post according to your preferred riding posture, adjusting fore/aft and tilt for optimal comfort and pedaling efficiency.

Compatibility: This saddle is designed for adult bikes and is compatible with virtually all standard seat posts found on mountain bikes, gravel bikes, and other cycling disciplines. It is particularly suited for riders who appreciate the Deity brand aesthetic and its collaboration with SDG Components.

Care: To maintain the saddle's condition, regularly clean the synthetic cover with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the material. The Kevlar sides can be wiped clean as needed. Inspect the saddle rails and clamp area periodically for any signs of wear or damage. Store the bike in a dry environment to prevent prolonged exposure to moisture.
