Trek's 3D printed saddle - Trek Aeolus RSL AirLoom 3D Printed Carbon Base / Rails Saddle Review

3D printing has been a game changing technology that lets you quickly prototype and create unique designs. Trek’s new Aeolus AirLoom saddles embrace the 3D printing technology with their AirLoom 3D printed lattice structure that replaces traditional saddle covers and foam. Trek offers the saddle in multiple variations from the $174.99 Elite AirLoom, a mid-level $274.99 Pro and the top-of-the-line $424.99 RSL version we have for this review. As the top model, the RSL features a OCLV carbon shell and oversized 7x10mm OCLV carbon rails. The saddle is available in 135, 145 and 155mm widths to accommodate different bike fits and includes a Blendr mount. Visually, the Aeolus RSL AirLoom saddle has a subtle perforated design that could almost be mistaken for a standard saddle. Unlike other 3D printed saddles which have exposed lattice structure, the AirLoom design has more uniform cutouts and nearly solid sections. The perforated areas are focused on the front of the saddle with a soft nose for additional comfort and a stiffer section where your sit bones are positioned. Trek offers three variations of Aeolus AirLoom saddles: $175 Elite, $275 Pro and the $425 top-of-the-line RSL which we have here. The difference in the prices is reflected with the shell and rail material as the Elite has nylon shell / austenite rails, the Pro gets a carbon composite shell / OCLV carbon rails and the RSL features OCLV carbon shell and rails. Both the RSL and Pro have the same AirLoom lattice while the Elite model has 17% more lattice for additional comfort. The saddle itself is nearly all black with the only branding as the metallic RSL on the rear bridge. Thanks to the use of the AirLoom padding there is a clean line between the base and the upper surface with no bunched up cover material that you find on traditional saddles. It’s a subtle detail you wouldn’t see on the bike but it makes cleaning the saddle easy as all the surfaces are smooth. A nearly full length center cutout helps reduce the saddle weight and provide a pressure relief zone. The shape of the saddle has also been updated compared to previous Aeolus saddles with a more narrow nose and a shorter transition area from the nose to the rear. Additionally, the saddle has a more consistent upward slope on the rear to improve stability while switching between riding positions.... ...
