Overall Review
Intro When buying my 2019 Transition Scout, this house brand saddle was something I thought I would be changing “as soon as..." A year later, after an early demise by a crash, I found myself scouting (whoops) the internet for the very same saddle. Here is why... Full disclosure: I ride without a liner. Review Why the prejudice? After riding most years on Specialized Henge and Power saddles, the ANVL Forge seems to have little cush - not that much of a perineal cutout and quite a sharp edge to it in all four corners. With a friction-amplifying multi-surface upper on it, it just seems like all...

Overall Review
I ride a transition and have done nothing but beat the hell out of it. after snapping a couple stems, I decided to follow my gut and gain some muscle. not only do i no longer worry about anything breaking, id like to think i up'd my bling game a million point. transition/anvl have their product dialed and best of all i didn't have to take out a small loan to do it. well done guys!!

ANVL Tilt Flat Pedal
Vital Review
Overall Review
Transition’s young house brand ANVL has been making quality components for a few years now, but it’s fair to say that the original version of the Tilt flat pedal was not much to write home about.

The Good

Weight, comfort, cleans up well, durability.

The Bad

Noise and a bit more flex than I like.

Overall Review
Initial Impressions This saddle came stock on my bike. The ANVL logo is highlighted with a bold yellow/green color and the rest of the saddle is black. There are some ridges and a bunch of dimples on the surface. That makes for a cool look that blends in to just about any build. Function The Forge Stealth saddle uses the traditional rail mount system. It has some nice guide marks for easy reference while positioning the saddle on your seat post. For the most part, this saddle has been set and forget, but the guide marks are nice to have. The saddle has been comfortable from ride one and is...

Review by Johan Hjord // Photos by Johan Hjord and Tal Rozow Born from the Transition crew’s desire to make better bling, ANVL popped on the components scene a couple of years back and they drew a fair bit of attention with a range of seemingly well-designed parts that look good too. Curious to go beneath the appearance, we laid our hands on the new Forge Stealth saddle a couple of months ago, and we’ve been resting our weary behinds on it ever since. Read on to find out how it treated us. ANVL Forge Stealth Ti Alloy Highlights RAIL MATERIAL: Titanium COVER MATERIAL: Leather + Kevlar corners...
