NAGO R4 147 Tadej Pogačar Giro d'Italia is the special edition saddle created to celebrate the first Giro D'Italia won by the Slovenian champion riding Prologo.
The Nago R4 147 is the model that Pogačar has chosen to use starting in the fall of 2023, making his first racing debut with a first major victory at Il Lombardia.
The exclusive design of the celebratory version recalls the graphics of the saddle that accompanied Tadej during the Giro d'Italia up to the triumph in Rome.
The pink base of the Giro is enriched with the monogram with the initials “TP” and the “Big Ó” of Prologo, the distinctive sign of the brand present exclusively on the saddles used by the teams and athletes supported.
In the center of the graphic, the Slovenian flag and the list of the main victories achieved by Tadej together with Prologo stand out.
The special edition of the Giro D'Italia is presented in an elegant black cardboard box, with a commemorative pink band.
The Nago R4 147 was designed starting from the needs of the professional teams supported by Prologo, and perfected thanks to the “Pressure Map MyOwn” tests, to satisfy the needs of all cyclists looking for maximum performance and comfort even on long rides.
Compact dimensions with a length of 245 mm and T-shape, with a slightly advanced anatomical center, to offer good freedom of movement on the saddle and maximize pedaling efficiency in all positions. The semi-round ergonomic shape also makes the new NAGO R4 147 ideal for cyclists with medium flexibility in terms of pelvic rotation.
Compared to the 137mm NAGO R4, the 147 version features 10mm more padding on the sides and 3mm on the top, and is suitable for:
cyclists with a wider seat bone distance, who therefore require a wider support base on the saddle;
cyclists with a high body mass index (BMI), who may benefit from the increased padding for better weight distribution;
cyclists looking for an even more comfortable and convenient saddle.
The closed NAGO R4 147 features 3 completely independent separate sections, made with latest-generation variable-density foams, to ensure excellent support and the right comfort during all phases of pedaling. Under the central section, Prologo's Active Base system: a base perforated in the center, to combine the benefits of a closed saddle with a larger support surface, with the advantages of an open base.
The base is made of long-fiber carbon, a material that offers an excellent compromise between rigidity and comfort.
The Rail in Nack (Nano Carbon Fiber) is composed of carbon fiber, kevlar and aluminum filaments, ideal for performance-oriented cyclists looking for maximum rigidity and lightness.
