Lightweight Reflexive Padding offers maximum support and shock absorption at a low weight.
Grit Saddle
Dig Deep
From World Cup XC courses to rugged backcountry gravel rides and long solo treks over rough asphalt, Grit is engineered for the toughest challenges. Its crowned shape maximizes pedaling efficiency, while the smooth-edged design ensures freedom of movement. With lightweight padding for long-haul comfort, Grit is built to take you farther.
Key Performance Factors
MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY
The Grit’s crowned shape tapers quickly at the wings, maximizing pedaling space and minimizing interference . A shorter nose enhances freedom of movement as Lightweight Reflexive Padding atop a stiff nylon and recycled carbon composite base offers maximum support.
LIGHTWEIGHT COMFORT
Combining Lightweight Reflexive Padding, integrated pockets of free-moving Particle Flow technology, and an ergonomic central cut-out, the Grit SLR provides exceptional support and cushioning for the sit bones while reducing pressure on the perineum—all at just 160g.
FAST REACTION
The Grit’s smooth-edged design minimizes friction and interference with the inner thigh during quick movements through technical sections, while a subtle upward curve at the rear offers plenty of ischial support and encourages an efficient, aerodynamic position.
Highlights
Designed for efficiency, comfort, and speed on the trail, in the gravel or out on the road, the carbon-railed Grit SLR and stainless steel-railed Grit SL feature a crowned shape that enhances pedaling space and freedom of movement. Lightweight Reflexive Padding atop an ultra-light nylon and recycled carbon composite base offers long-haul comfort without added weight, while the gently curving rear section provides ischial support and promotes an aerodynamic riding position.

Techs & Features
Particle Flow
Giant’s free-flowing high-elastic particles are inserted into two separate pockets that mold to each rider’s unique pelvic contact condition to provide further comfort and support. The particles deform more easily under pressure, providing superior comfort and high rebound performance, resulting in reduced pressure points across a broader contact area.
