"In 1993, the brand released their first Kevlar saddle, and just two years later we saw the first iteration of the Bel-Air. Over the years, the Bel-Air has proved to be a timeless classic."
"While Greg Minnaar is a rider who needs little introduction, his legacy as a world-class racer was cemented with 23 World Cup wins and four World Championships. With each win represented by a stripe on the saddle, the design-like Minnaar himself-is bold yet understated; symbolizing both his results and his ongoing commitment to mentoring the next generation. Danny MacAskill has become a global household name thanks to his jaw-dropping trials videos."
"Emblazoned with his love for Scotland's rugged Highlands, the saddle's trig point graphic nods to the survey markers found at summits across the landscape. Symbols of achievement and exploration, for Danny it's also a nod to his home and the trails that helped define his life and shape his storied career. Kriss Kyle has never been afraid to blur the lines between BMX and mountain biking. His Bel-Air V3 features a Scottish wildcat graphic that reflects that same creativity and grit."
SDG collaborated with CAST and three top riders to produce the Bel-Air V3 in three athlete-inspired colorways. The Bel-Air lineage dates back to the brand's first Kevlar saddle in 1993 and the initial Bel-Air iteration two years later, establishing a long-standing design. Greg Minnaar’s saddle displays stripes representing his World Cup wins and World Championships. Danny MacAskill’s design features a trig point graphic honoring Scotland’s Highlands and exploration. Kriss Kyle’s version includes a Scottish wildcat graphic and a bold Kevlar-reinforced cover, offering consumers a refreshed, pro-styled saddle option.
