Velo Saddles introduces its first saddle to include ETPU foam, the Angel Revo Halo, offering a new level of comfort.
Velo launched the Angel Revo with nitrogen-infused Atmos Foam in 2022. The new Angel Revo Halo Velo utilizes expanded thermoplastic polyurethane foam (ETPU). This option offers riders numerous benefits, including improved comfort, shock absorption and durability. The Angel Revo Halo is available with titanium rails in 248mm length and 148mm width.
Commonly used in sporting items, ETPU is produced by heating and expanding thermoplastic polyurethane pellets under pressure. This creates a lightweight, flexible foam that compresses and rebounds quickly. The use of Halo Foam in the Angel Revo provides exceptional shock absorption properties. It effectively reduces the impact of bumps and vibrations from the road or trail. This significantly enhances the rider’s comfort, especially during long rides or on epic gravel adventures.
Halo Foam is also highly elastic and has excellent shape recovery. The foam allows the saddle to adapt and conform to the rider’s body contours. This personalized fit minimizes pressure points and promotes blood circulation, preventing numbness and discomfort.
Velo Halo Features
Blending popular features from their Senso TT and Angel TT performance saddle, the Halo maintains its original design of the Angel Revo.
It includes Velo’s patented pressure relief Y-Cutout, the longest cutout of previous models. The cutout provides enhanced comfort for long rides. Additionally, the design uses Velo’s proprietary EuphoraBase shell, a non-petroleum-based hybrid bioplastic using plant-based materials and glass fiber.
Patented Atmos Shaping technology combines Halo’s Omnicover and the base without a visible seam. This innovative technology ensures that it is 100% waterproof and is easier to clean after use. The Halo Omnicover is made from recycled polyurethane and knitted metallic threads, offering exceptional durability and water resistance. It provides a balanced level of traction, ensuring a comfortable and secure connection between the rider and saddle.
The Angel Revo Halo will be available in summer 2023. It has a target MSRP of US $125.
