Fabric are a young company based here in the UK. They make saddles mainly, but not like anyone else. As a result theirs is a range that is aesthetically pleasing, light and stiff in good measure and in the right balance; and that fit. They don't have saddles for mountain bikers or roadies specifically, rather their range of saddles is aimed simply at those who ride a bike.
Like most saddle brands of note, Fabric have a structured range with a fitting system designed to assist the rider in selecting the most appropriate saddle. Fabric’s fit system is based on a person’s Somatotype which refers to the underlying bone structure of an individual. This is an important point as this measure is not affected by diet, fitness or training so the saddle that suits, will always suit. Viewed more simply, Fabric saddles are fitted by body size and rider position.
For the most part, people fall into 3 Somatotypes: Ectomorph (Light bone structure), Mesomorph (Average, larger structure) and Endomorph (Broad) and Fabric produce saddles to suit each type which vary in width, 134mm, 142mm and 155mm and each one of their saddles is designed for performance and comfort rather than sacrificing one for the other.
The Line Shallow is aimed at the Ectomorph or slight, slim . Like all of Fabric’s offerings, it is constructed from just 3 parts; a bonded cover, rail and base which removes any excess materials and staples to give a light weight, comfortable and tidy product. Unlike the Scoop range, the Line features a central relief channel designed to reduce the pressure on the pudendal artery for longer rides. The LINE offers the support of a conventional saddle with the added comfort of a cutaway. The Line saddle amply supports sit bones with lightweight foam padding and relieves pressure with the central relief channel.
It is available in 2 versions - this ELITE version with a Chromoly rail - and the RACE version which uses Titanium for the rail to save a little weight and improve longevity. Given the nature of riders of this somatotype, Fabric have elected to produce the Line and Line Wide in a single base profile - the Shallow, since this is the most commonly appreciated .
Flat : For flexible riders who prefer a race position (high differential)
Shallow : An all-round position and for averagely proportioned people
Radius : A more pronounced curve for those with a relatively low differential (sportive or endurance position) or those with a relatively short leg.
The Fabric Line Shallow Elite featured here has a nylon base, hollow Cro-mo rail and lightweight PU foam covered with a waterproof microfibre for durability and easy cleaning. The Shallow Line 134 will suit slimmer riders with an average differential and who vary their position by moving around the bars during their rides.

Like most saddle brands of note, Fabric have a structured range with a fitting system designed to assist the rider in selecting the most appropriate saddle. Fabric’s fit system is based on a person’s Somatotype which refers to the underlying bone structure of an individual. This is an important point as this measure is not affected by diet, fitness or training so the saddle that suits, will always suit. Interestingly, your Somatotype can be determined not by measuring your lower half, but rather by two simple measurements: height and - believe it or not - wrist circumference!
There are 3 Somatotypes :Ectomorph (Light bone structure), Mesomorph (Average, larger structure) and Endomorph (Broad) and Fabric produce saddles to suit each type which vary in width, 134mm, 142mm and 155mm and each one of their saddles is designed for performance and comfort rather than sacrificing one for the other.
By far and away the most common Somatotype is the Mesomorph and it is for this reason the bulk of Fabric’s range consists of the 142mm Scoop saddle which is designed for those with a naturally athletic physique and able to achieve well defined muscles*
The Scoop is an extremely versatile, cross-genre saddle. Like all of Fabric’s offerings, it is constructed from just 3 parts; a bonded cover, rail and base which removes any excess materials and staples to give a light weight, comfortable and tidy product. It is available in a range of base and rail materials to suit budget and riding preference. In order to cater for a broad spectrum of riders there are 3 degrees of shaping (curve) available :
Flat : For those with high differentials (saddle drop to handlebar) ie. A race position but also those who may have a relatively long leg
Shallow : An all-round position and for averagely proportioned people.
Radius : A more pronounced curve for those with a relatively low differential (sportive or endurance position) or those with a relatively short leg.
Ultimately, the Scoop will suit the majority of cyclists and their specific cycling needs, the question of rail and base material will be entirely up to you and your wallet. A healthy range of colour options means that you will be able to colour match where required, whilst the stalwart traditionalists will be happy with the all black option available across the saddle spectrum.
The Fabric Scoop Elite featured here has a nylon base, hollow Cro-mo rail and lightweight PU foam covered with a waterproof microfibre for durability and easy cleaning. Available in numerous colours. Likely to be the most common choice, this SHALLOW version of the Scoop will suit a broad spectrum of riders with an average differential and who vary their position by moving around the bars during their rides.
