Equally important, the Dimension R2 gets subtle ergonomic updates, as well. Studying how to improve performance, Prologo gave the new Dimension R2 a 2mm wider nose with a more rounded profile for additional comfort. “In addition, the central part has been redesigned and has a flat surface, to facilitate an even more advanced and aerodynamic [riding] position.”

Prologo redesigned their flagship short fit on- & off-road saddle with this new Dimension R2 that shaves a full 15% of weight off its already light predecessor. The new saddle keeps the same overall V-shape and dimensions but leverages more advanced materials and carbon construction to shed significant weight. Plus, Prologo refined the Dimension R2’s ergonomics, reworking a 30% wider and more smoothly curved tip to improve rider comfort when perched on the nose of the saddle…

Prologo describes the original Dimension as their first short saddle, with an “innovative V-shape design [that] made it one of the most appreciated and used by many champions; a true icon both on and off-road.” With such a popular platform, they were a bit reluctant to change too much, so set about refining it.

This stubby saddle fad really bothers me. I use the full length of a saddle with normal dimensions on most rides. Why would anyone want less saddle real estate? I was told they were developed to help pros move their saddles as far forward as possible without violating a (ridiculous) UCI rule. Some saddle companies have stubbed their entire lineup just so people can look pro. But feel free to set me straight. Maybe they’re great and I’m an idiot.

The new lighter Prologo Dimension R2 saddle is available now online directly from Prologo for 249€, or through their regular dealer network. The updated saddle comes in just one 143mm width, but you get to pick from a white or Anthracite black top, both with new low-key graphics.

The big highlight is ~24g weight reduction, mainly shedding grams thanks to a new lightweight EVA foam that gives the same level of support and comfort, but with 20% thinner padding. Otherwise, it features Prologo’s top lightweight Nack reinforced carbon rails and injection molded Long Fiber Carbon composite shell construction.
