Velo Saddles has introduced its first saddle to include ETPU foam, the Angel Revo Halo. After launching the Angel Revo with nitrogen-infused Atmos Foam in 2022, Velo claims that it is bringing a new level of comfort with Halo Foam, which utilizes ETPU.

Offering expanded thermoplastic polyurethane foam (ETPU) as a foam option offers riders benefits, including improved comfort, shock absorption, and durability. The Angel Revo Halo is available with titanium rails in 248mm length and 148mm width.

ETPU is produced by heating and expanding thermoplastic polyurethane pellets under pressure, resulting in a lightweight, flexible foam that compresses and rebounds quickly. The use of Halo Foam in the Angel Revo provides shock absorption properties – enhancing riders’ comfort, especially during long rides or on gravel adventures.

Halo Foam is also highly elastic and has shape recovery properties, allowing 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.

Blending popular features from its 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 providing 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 fibre. Patented Atmos Shaping technology combines Halo’s Omnicover and the base without a visible seam.

The Halo Omnicover is made from recycled polyurethane (PU) and knitted metallic threads, offering durability and water resistance. It provides a balanced level of traction, ensuring a comfortable and secure connection between the rider and the saddle.

The Angel Revo Halo will be available summer of 2023 and has a target MSRP of US$125.
