For the first time ever, I now know what it is like to ride with a downward tilted saddle, and I ain't going back!

NEW HANDLEBAR RULES!
Cyclists - you may have seen in the media that the UCI has decided to implement a ruling to prevent the use of handlebars smaller than 40cm width (outside to outside).

If you support choice and intelligent equipment regulations for racing riders, please take a moment to sign the online petition against the decision.

Appeal the UCI’s new handlebar width regulations
