Alpitude’s mission is to design and produce the finest components for your bike. Manufactured by a group of passionate cyclists in a small workshop in Trentino (Italy).

Alpitude claims to have found the perfect balance between Italian craftmanship and innovation. And it seems to be the case considering their product range, a clear demonstration of handcrafted qualities, CNC machining and 3D printing. Whether you go for a seatpost, a derailleur cage or a new saddle.

The Gardena is the first saddle from ALPITUDE with a short, ergonomic fit that is 100% handmade in Italy. The use of carbon for all components does not only result in a very low weight but provides exceptional stiffness and durability as well.
