Mark Adams This PROLOGO Kappa Evo T2. It is used in the aerospace industry to make mechanical arms, so is a great compromise between mechanical resistance and strength.
On top of the rails is a light and strong nylon base with Light PU padding which makes the Kappa Evo inexpensive without losing on comfort, durable or weight.

Prologo Kappa Evo Saddle Review:
PROLOGO Soft Pelvic Pad, Top-flow design
VEGETABLE TANNED LEATHER
ADJUSTABLE BREATHABLE LEGGED
A very large 3.5mm foam padding provides the necessary shock absorption. This 3.5mm foam padding is mainly structured of Polymeric Cellulose. This is a product that has been created from renewable raw materials (mainly wood pulp). The raw materials are fermented to produce lactic acid. This lactic acid is then transformed into polylactic acid (PLA), which can be spun into fibres, filaments, moulded, cast or thermoformed.
The Kappa Evo has a synthetic cover that is so comfortable due to its air channels and integrated padding. The air flow structure of the pad is similar to the shape of an ‘X’, to allow the air to circulate through the saddle and provide your behind with a much more pleasant experience on long journeys. The stretched mesh not only allows for well-defined breathability, but also provides a great feeling of support and comfort along with the multiple points of contact that are formed during the interaction between the pad and your seat bones.
Kappa Evo Side View
Structured of a top layer of hide cover full grain leather and a composite polyamide 63% basis. Vegetable tanned Grasitano leather qualities (see the article above). This is the top layer of the cover, and is used for comfort and aesthetic purpose of the saddle. The top layer also allows the pad to fit better with the seat
the padding of the pad and make it very comfortable.
The Microfiber is the famous and tried material of Prologo. The Nylon base is used on this saddle to decrease weight but provide great strenght, good shock absorption and lightness.
The Air Channel Base: allows the air to circulate through in order to give that much more comfort and breathability.
The structure of this saddle is medium-rails. Medium-rails allow a more flexible position on the saddle and allow use of feathering of the pedals.
The saddle is a Road saddle which means it is a saddle that is more narrow, longer, lighter. This saddle is more adapted to make long rides and to adapt to the physiology.
The T2.0 top rails are one of the best tiptop rails on the market. This T2.0 rails are now an evolution of the T. This T2.0 rails are a technology development of the T. They are lightweight, more comfortable, more resistant, durable longer and fit better to the rest of the saddle. They also provide a better aerodynamic.
The stiffness and resistance of the saddle depend on the site (T2.0) (K) analysis of the entire structure of the pad. The balance is done by taking into account the specific characteristics of the concept, the experience of the manufacturers and recommendations of the riders. The kappa evo has good resistance and is suitable for all competitive cyclists.
The kappa evo is a very light bicycle saddle at 260 grams and is very comfortable thanks to the 3.5mm foam padding.

Kappa Evo Conclusion: If you are looking for a lightweight comfortable saddle that is very durable, this is a great saddle. It weighs under 250 grams and has great padding. The saddle is practically indestructible and can take a lot of abuse. It is not the lightest saddle on the market but it will be incredibly comfortable and last you many years.

The saddle should be replaced about 3-4 years. This is in relation to the number of hours that
you have used it and the way that
you are sitting on it. A bike saddle is usually not comfortable at first, but after
several hours of usage
the padding breaks in and you are able to ride comfortably on the saddle. You can use
an old pair of bike shorts to see if you have a perfect
position on the saddle and do not sit on it too much. The shape of your buttocks has been modified and it is
harder to change
it back to its original form.
The whole Prologo saddle collection is pretty fantastic and they really have some great products. The PROLEGNO Kappa K2 Saddle is a good choice for some serious cyclists. If you’re interested in purchasing the PROLOGO K2, then click the link below and good luck, be safe and enjoy the ride.

One of the key features of this saddle is the 3.5mm anatomical foam pad that provides excellent shock absorption, breathability, and comfort. The padding of the pad is made of visco-elastic polymer, a material that has been created from renewable raw materials (mainly wood pulp). The raw materials are fermented to produce lactic acid. This lactic acid is then transformed into polylactic acid (PLA), which can be spun into fibres, filaments, moulded, cast or thermoformed.
The Kappa Evo has a synthetic cover that is so comfortable due to its air channels and integrated padding. The air flow structure of the pad is similar to the shape of an ‘X’, to allow the air to circulate through the saddle and provide your behind with a much more pleasant experience on long journeys.
As well, the stretched mesh not only allows for well-defined breathability, but also provides a great feeling of support and comfort along with the multiple points of contact that are formed during the interaction between the pad and your seat bones.
The saddle also has a thin and light Nylon base, which decreases weight but still provides great strength, good shock absorption, and lightness.
The AIR CHANNEL BOTTOM: allows the air to circulate through in order to give that much more comfort and breathability.
