Ploh is new, short and wider Berk saddle.
The new, shorter Berk seat design gives even the most aggressive postures maximum stability and comfort. The seat is V-shaped, so the pressure on the seat is efficiently transferred between the buttocks and pubic bones. It is primarily designed for cyclists with a wider pelvic area.
A new feature of the seat is the so called ‘flat-flat’ design, which fits perfectly to the shape of the pelvis and distributes pressure evenly between the buttocks and pubic bones. This means that point pressures on the bones are a thing of the past and comfort & stability are a thing of the present.
The seat has rounded edges to prevent riders from bruising their inner thighs.
Ploh simmilar to:
- Specialized Power 145
- Prologo Dimension 143
- Syncros Bellcarra 145
- Selle Italia SLR Boost TM Superflow
- Giant Contact V
- Fizik Vento Argo 145
- PRO Stealth
The main difference between Ploh and Lipa is in the so-called “leg clearance”. Although both seats are shorter designs, the wide seat expands earlier and gives the cyclist more stability in the seat. It also allows more forward-looking scrolling when the posture is aggressive. The wide seat, however, will not be suitable for people who have had problems rubbing against the seat on the inside of the thigh in the past. In this case, the better choice will be the narrower seat, which is t-shaped and has the first third of the seat narrowly. This provides enough room for the thigh part.
An important part of both seats is the ‘flat’ design. Although 135 and 145 is width, the actual seat is comparable to even wider seats (e.g. 155 from Specialized Power).
