Dropper post compatible

Dropper posts are becoming more and more common, even gravel bikes have them now. So, Silca has designed the Seat Capsule Premio to be compatible with up/down posts.

A seat rail guard lets the Boa closure snug the Seat Capsule Premio tight to the saddle without needing a strap around the seatpost. Without a strap on the post, the seatpost can then be lowered to its full travel.

Different than a seat roll

According to Silca, opening and closing the bag while it's still attached to the saddle is the key difference between a seat bag and a seat roll, with the thermoformed shell offering more structure than a seat roll.
