Used to have a Lupina 132 for about 4 years, I recently sold it because I moved to 140, and when I went back to Berk and saw the current prices ..I bought a 90gr saddle on AliExpress for 30 bucks which fits me well.
@@slayerofgrams thanks for the reply! Yeah noticed that darimo finish quality is not otherwordly, hopefully someone makes a review on the THM cockpit :D. On website they listed sub 250g for 420mm variant which is not terrible. I'm not going for hardcore weenie build, sub 6kg seka spear with 32mm tubeless, so I'm not gonna be desperately needing those 20 grams.
Now let’s see it in a video on the bike. The torque specs are maximum recommended torque, correct. So in practice, do you go to the max? or 0.5 to 1Nm lower on fragile components like a carbon rail?
yeah it would be nice if the manufacturer has crash replacement and even better, salvage it for second chance, a bit beefed up to turn them into test saddles.

The matte finish must look good along with the brushed Ti frame bits, too!
It’s so beautiful ❤❤❤
Without the sticker even less! 😉 There is no sticker on the old one.
My berk lupina 150 arrived this morning, 80.9g
Have you tryed Bjorn saddles/seatposts?
Bought a carbon saddle from aliexpress, Gelu. Good finish, not uncomfortable, 85 dollars, less than 60 grams
I have the 62g version (I think they made a lighter one after i bought it) and luckily it fits me well. Such good value!
could you please do a comparison between Berk, Bjorn and Alpitude? :)
Is It the short version? I can only find that on the berk site
regular version
Man those are anchors!, you should try a Gelu K3, more confortable and half the weight. A bit pricey though.
Just no
@@MS-bw7yt
Yes
My Gelu was about 85 dollars, expensive for aliexpress, german stuff is usually several times more expensive, and quality questionable.
Gelu is not a german brand, it’s portuguese
Are you planning on doing weigh in for new THM aero barstem?
Sorry, I have no plans to buy that I’m afraid.
@@slayerofgrams gotcha, I was considering buying one for my build, but I think I will just get the nexum drag since I know what to expect
@@adamlucina The nexus drag will be lighter for sure, but I'm also pretty sure that the THM will be better "built" in terms if finish and what not.

4nm on my darimo post, don’t need more than 5 on my ti bike with an enve 2bolt clamp
I’m thinking about this and the Alptitude Gardena. Anyone tried either one ?
Please try Schmolke saddles. They're only 53 grams.
No cut out with a relief channel instead of a cut out
Enjoy your 3 g saving !
Old one could be salvageable
