Home Gear Testing the Prologo Nago EVO TTR saddleThe Nago Evo TTR Nack is one of the most beautiful products in the Prologo range.It will prove to be a powerful ally on your time trial bike.A compendium of technology at the service of specialists!Prologo is an Italian brand that makes saddles for all cycling disciplines, from road to cross-country to downhill.We tested one of the most beautiful products in the range, the Nago Evo TTR Nack.Specifically designed for time trials in partnership with Fabian Cancellara, a specialist in timed effort, this saddle is aimed at a connoisseur public who is preparing to face the clock.When you receive the saddle, the conclusion is clear!We are impressed.The look, the finish, the weight, the carbon rails… And you immediately notice the roughness at the level of the saddle beak, we will come back to this later.The look of this Nago Evo TTR is incredible, especially in this Hard Black color (two other colors are available: white and black-white-red).We can immediately imagine the "mouth" that our mount will have as soon as this jewel is enthroned on it.As for the finish, nothing to complain about, everything is clean, perfect, the texture of the saddle is pleasant, soft.The carbon rails, resulting from the Nack technology actually combining carbon fibers, Kevlar fibers and aluminum add a little more luxury to this product.Finally comes the weight.With 181 grams on our scale, this saddle is among the lightest in the category and even if we don't always try to drastically minimize the weight on a time trial bike, it will please the light fanatic!In the field, this saddle proves to be a powerful ally for your training sessions such as your races on your time trial bike.During training, you alternate between work and rest, and will benefit from different positions on the saddle.The well-sized rear part is extremely comfortable and you will use it without counting when you are in the resting phase or on climbs in which you need to "sit" in the saddle to push harder.Let's talk about the saddle beak which immediately amazed us with its many rough edges.The Slide Control System is patented by Prologo and should allow you to stay in position during exercise and no longer slide forward from the saddle nose.It is on this point in particular that Prologo has worked in conjunction with professional riders and it must be admitted that this system has proven to be effective.Of course, we still slip slightly when we are at maximum power, but comparing with other saddles mounted on the same bike, we feel a real difference and we replace ourselves much less often on the Nago Evo TTR.Finally, it should be noted that on outings not exceeding two hours (which is already relatively long in the time trial position), as in racing, no discomfort was to be deplored by the tester and the comfort of the saddle was not questioned.Be careful never to lose sight of the fact that a saddle can adapt very well to your morphology and not to that of your fellow cyclists and vice versa, in particular depending on the width of your pelvis or your habits (long saddle, narrow, etc.)Let's be clear, the only possible defect that appeared to us when testing this Nago Evo TTR Nack is its price.Are you ready to invest nearly 200 euros to equip your frame with a little gem of technology with an aggressive look that will allow you to fight the clock as well as possible?More info about Prologo on www.prologotouch.com.For any questions about this hardware test, you can contact us directly by email: testvelo101@velo101.com.2nd stage Tour of Germany: Alexander Kristoff wins7th stage Vuelta: victory for Jesus Herrada7th stage Tour de l'Avenir: Cian Uijtdebroeks the strongestTour de Poitou-Charentes: the last stage for Manzin, the general for Küng4th stage Tour de Poitou-Charentes: Küng wins the CLMTour of Germany: Caleb Ewan returns to successVuelta 6th stage: Jay Vine wins, Evenepoel hits hard3rd stage Tour de Poitou-Charentes: Marc Sarreau triples the leadFilippo Ganna wins the prologue of the Tour of GermanyMatis Louvel wins Druivenkoers OverijseThe company La Chaussette de France offers products 100% made in France.We were able to test their two pairs of socks designed for...This Tuesday, August 9, Cannondale presents its brand new frame kit, the SuperSix EVO Leichtbau, a limited edition of 200 that weighs...The powerful and precise compressor for your workshop or on the go.Are you looking for a new versatile high-end road bike?Here are the best bikes between 3500 and 5500 €.This Friday, the Italian brand Vittoria presents the Corsa N.EXT.A new high-end tire cut for competition.Fulcrum Wheels has just launched two new models of wheels for mountain biking.The Red Zone 5 and the Red Metal 5.
