Dash Cycles is making some of the coolest, most exotic parts in the world of cycling.


The Dash p.3 is a tiny bit of cycling jewelry.

Like all Dash equipment, the saddle's construction is gorgeous and flawless.

The p.3's flowing lines are much like those of a SLR-type saddle.

We love the minimal Dash branding that still leaves room for the carbon to shine.

From the front, it's simply flawless.

This top view shows where the depression is that serves as a cutout.

The rails are carbon wrapped in red Kevlar braiding that makes for an extremely durable rail.

The rails are bonded to the saddle during the same operation that creates the saddle itself - it's a one-step layup with no after-bonding.  A seriously difficult task, but it makes for a much stronger construction.

The underside of the saddle is a bit raw, showing the function-centric design philosophy.

Side-by-side with an SLR-type carbon saddle, you can see the p.3 looks much like it, but without the front half.

It does look and ride a bit like an SLR-type, but has less range of adjustment, and is pretty stiff.
