Nago R4 147 - Big Ó Collection
Saddle in special edition, with personalized graphics dedicated to the World Tour teams to celebrate their achievement and offer top performance.
NAGO R4 147 Big Ó is the Team Edition version of the multidisciplinary, high-performance saddle designed to meet the demands of professional cyclists. Refined through “Pressure Map MyOwn” testing, this saddle meets the needs of riders seeking maximum performance and comfort—even during long rides.
The Nago R4 147, which in the 2024 season won nearly everything alongside Tadej Pogačar, is the evolution of the iconic NAGO—the Prologo saddle introduced in 2008 that has already claimed a Giro d’Italia victory and numerous Monuments over the years. This saddle, featuring Nack rail and the prominent Big Ó logo on the saddle cover, is also the choice of other top WorldTour champions such as Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) and Jack Haig (Bahrain Victorious).
Anatomical Shape
The T-shape design ensures greater freedom of movement thanks to a wider seating area. The rear-positioned anatomical center allows the rider to easily change positions and take full advantage of the saddle’s length. Its semi-round ergonomic shape makes the NAGO R4 ideal for cyclists with medium pelvic rotation flexibility, while the 147 mm width makes it suitable for cyclists with a wider ischial bone distance, who therefore require a broader support base on the saddle.
Compared to the 137 mm NAGO R4, the 147 mm version features increased padding: 10 mm more on the sides and 3 mm more on the top. It is specifically designed for riders with a higher Body Mass Index (BMI), who can benefit from the extra padding for better weight distribution, as well as for cyclists simply seeking a more cushioned and comfortable saddle.
Technologies
The closed version of the NAGO R4 features three fully independent sections, made with next-generation variable-density foams to provide the right support and comfort throughout every phase of pedaling. Under the central section lies the Active Base system by Prologo: a cut-out in the base, designed to combine the benefits of a closed saddle—offering a wider contact surface—with the comfort advantages of an open-base design.
Base and Rails
The long-fiber carbon base and the Nack rail (Nano Carbon Fiber) make the saddle even lighter, stiffer, and extremely high-performing, while still ensuring optimal comfort.
