A race position but also those who may have a relatively long leg Fabric are a young company based here in the UK. They make saddles mainly, but not like anyone else. As a result theirs is a range that is aesthetically pleasing, light and stiff in good measure and in the right balance; and that fit. They don't have saddles for mountain bikers or roadies specifically, rather their range of saddles is aimed simply at those who ride a bike. Period. Once you know which shape in the range best suits, you're left only with the decision about base, rail and colour – but we'll get to that! The Radius profile has the roundest shape through the rear section and maximum padding. The Radius profile is designed for an upright riding position; typically bikes in this category have handlebars slightly higher than the saddle, causing the rider to sit taller and requiring the most padding to support their weight.The Shallow in the name denotes the type of riding this version of the Scoop is intended for. In this case it’s sportive or endurance type-riding, where most of your time is spent on the hoods, with the odd blast on the drops. As a rider who spends probably 90-95 per cent of my time on the hoods, I found this to be a pretty spot-on description. However, I did try a one-hour flat-out training session entirely on the drops, and it didn’t restrict my ability to do that at all. It was still really comfy. Fabric does a complete range of Scoop saddles at other price points and widths, to suit different riding styles, including designs for racier or more relaxed riding positions.

I found the titanium rails gave a slightly sprung effect, so that any potholes or rough surfaces felt slightly damped. At no point during testing did I feel that it had been a harsh ride.

As mountain bike saddles are concerned, the Scoop Race Shallow is about as versatile as they come. It is suitable for all types of riding, from XC to gravity oriented riding, with a nice shape that allows for great snag-free freedom of movement and a clean and powerful pedal stroke. This saddle isn't specific to mountain biking either. This is a great all-around option that is equally at home on the road or adventure bike too. Riders who like a pressure relief cutout or channel will be better off looking elsewhere, as this saddle has a relatively stiff shell and no real anatomical relief in its design. Weight It is made using a 3 part construction which consists of a cover, a base and a rail. The minimal manufacturing technique removes any staples, excess material and any other imperfections that are synonymous with common saddle construction. The cover is wrapped in a durable and waterproof microfibre cover with a grippy texture that still allows you to freely move around the saddle and the clean and simple design makes it exceptionally easy to clean. The base is made from a fibre re-enforced nylon which is lightweight, highly flexible and strong enough that Fabric can use less padding which helps create the streamlined shape.The rail is made from a lightweight Titanium alloy coated with CrNi, highly resistant to oxidation and abrasion.
