Its lightweight and open T-shaped design, derived from the Scratch M5, delivers ergonomic comfort tailored for performance-focused riders. The anatomical shape, measuring 250 x 140mm, has been refined specifically for off-road use, with the anatomical centre shifted 5 mm backward to enhance freedom of movement and optimize pedalling efficiency during extended climbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis saddle offers a unique combination of stability and support, especially beneficial for riders with limited pelvic mobility thanks to its rounded anatomical profile that promotes lumbar support. The PAS (Perineal Area System) with a wider relief channel minimizes pressure on soft tissues, tendons, and blood vessels, ensuring excellent blood circulation and rider comfort during long rides. The compact size and Multi Sector System bring specialized zones, each engineered to meet the demands of XC and marathon disciplines, making this saddle a reliable choice for serious off-road enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rear-lateral sections increase stability and comfort for pedalling in a rearward position, while the variable-density foam—thicker by 3 mm at the back—provides enhanced support. The innovative front-central section is designed to handle steep, technical climbs, featuring a broad, flat surface and a Grip Cover with horizontal texture to maximize grip and help maintain a forward position on the saddle nose. The combination of Nack Carbon rails, microfibre cover, and light foam padding keeps the saddle lightweight at just 205g without sacrificing durability or comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eXC and marathon racing where lightweight and ergonomic support are crucial.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-road and gravel riding, offering enhanced stability and pedalling efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLong climbs, thanks to the anatomical centre shifted rearward and padded rear support.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRiders needing pressure relief with the PAS wide relief channel for improved blood circulation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaintaining a stable position even on technical sections with the Grip Cover and Multi Sector System.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s NOT Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCasual or recreational cycling where advanced ergonomic features may not be necessary.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRiders preferring wider or more cushioned saddles for comfort over performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUrban commuting that demands broader, more padded saddles for relaxed riding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThose who require a completely flat saddle without anatomical shaping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Scratch NDR PAS suitable for road cycling?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, although it is optimized for off-road XC and marathon racing, its ergonomic design and lightweight build make it equally capable on gravel and road surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the PAS feature improve comfort?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Perineal Area System includes a wider relief channel that reduces pressure on sensitive soft tissues, tendons, and blood vessels, promoting better circulation and reducing numbness on long rides.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prologo","offers":[{"title":"140mm \/ Black","offer_id":46193557274799,"sku":"PL3520","price":93.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/2003\/4223\/files\/pl3520.jpg?v=1768533758","url":"https:\/\/www.swinnertoncycles.co.uk\/products\/prologo-scratch-ndr-140-pas-tirox-saddle-for-xc-marathon-gravel-racing","provider":"Swinnerton Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
