Charge, our favourite Somerset based bicycle company, has released the Knife, a new saddle to complement its popular Spoon series.

The Knife is a lighter version of the Spoon, and while it carries much the same shape, it's been slimmed right down in all the key areas to get the weight down.

Weight savings have been achieved in a number of ways. From the side profile, the new Knife is much slimmer with a new flexible nylon base allowing the fitting of thinner foam padding. Titanium rails help drop the weight, as do the removal of the nose and rear bumpers. Charge claim a weight of 210g.

Costing £39.99, the Knife will be hitting the shops in a few months. Available in black or white.
