The saddle is a San Marco Monza Start, mounted on a BH Lite seatpost with a diameter of 27.2 mm. The saddle is clamped using an SL1 integrated system, which provides additional stability.

With a reach of 386 mm, a stack of 583 mm and a seat tube length of 540 mm, the SL1 2.5 offers a geometry that supports both comfort and performance. This model from BH Bikes is aimed at ambitious cyclists who value quality and reliability.
