Description
The Prologo Scratch M5 is a performance-oriented road saddle built for riders who spend serious hours in the saddle — whether that's grinding through the Western Ghats, training on Pune's early-morning loops, or preparing for a brevet across the Deccan plateau. Choosing the right saddle is one of the most personal decisions in cycling, and heat only raises the stakes. Cobbled Climbs is the authorised retailer for Time in India.
Use Cases
Daily training. Reliable use across Indian training conditions — heat, humidity, and rough tarmac.
Race day. Performance-grade construction for competitive efforts.
Long rides. Built for full-day rides across Western Ghats, Sahyadri, or Nilgiri climbs.
Our Take
In India's punishing summer heat — think 40°C on Delhi roads or Chennai's coastal humidity — saddle shell breathability and padding that doesn't compress mid-ride become critical factors. The Scratch M5's performance-focused geometry suits riders who spend time in an aggressive position, making it a strong choice for training rides and club events alike. Give it five to six rides before passing judgement; fit adjustments often resolve early discomfort.
Sizing for Indian Riders
Saddle width must match your sit-bone width — typically 130–155mm for most Indian riders. Measure by sitting on cardboard, marking the dimples, measuring between centres, then adding approximately 25mm. Prologo saddles generally run true to European sizing. In high-heat conditions, a slightly wider fit can help distribute pressure more evenly on long rides.
Compatibility Notes
The Scratch M5 is compatible with standard 7×7mm rail seatpost clamps. Match your seatpost diameter to your frame — common sizes are 27.2mm, 30.9mm, and 31.6mm. For carbon rail variants, always use a carbon-compatible torque setting. Minor fore-aft and tilt adjustments can meaningfully improve long-ride comfort on rough Indian road surfaces.
Pairs Well With
For the best riding experience, pair the Scratch M5 with quality padded bib shorts for long-distance comfort, a carbon or alloy seatpost matched to your frame, chamois cream for hot and humid rides, and a lightweight saddle bag for daily training use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Prologo Scratch M5 best used for?
The Scratch M5 is designed for performance road cycling — training rides, club events, and race days where an aggressive position is maintained for extended periods. It suits riders who prioritise power transfer and positional control over maximum cushioning, making it a strong choice for Pune, Delhi, and Hyderabad road cyclists logging regular kilometres.
What size Prologo Scratch M5 should I order?
Measure your sit-bone width first — sit on cardboard, mark the two pressure points, measure between their centres, and add approximately 25mm. Most Indian riders need a saddle between 130mm and 155mm wide. If you are between sizes, riders with a more aggressive road position often prefer the narrower option for better leg clearance.
Will the Prologo Scratch M5 hold up in India's heat and monsoon conditions?
Yes. The Scratch M5's synthetic cover handles heat and humidity better than leather alternatives, making it practical for summer riding in Chennai, Ahmedabad, or Mumbai's monsoon season. Wipe the saddle dry after wet rides and avoid prolonged direct sun exposure when the bike is parked, which can accelerate cover wear over time.
How does the Prologo Scratch M5 compare to a more padded comfort saddle?
The Scratch M5 is a performance saddle — it uses less padding than endurance or recreational designs, prioritising power transfer and positional stability. A heavily padded saddle can compress under sustained load, causing discomfort on rides over two hours. For Brevet or ultra-distance riding, a more endurance-oriented saddle shape may suit better, compared by specification at Cobbled Climbs.
Is the Prologo Scratch M5 worth Rs. 10,980 in India, and what warranty applies?
At Rs. 10,980, the Scratch M5 sits in the mid-to-premium performance saddle category and offers meaningful quality over budget alternatives in terms of shell rigidity and cover durability. Prologo saddles are covered by the brand's standard manufacturing warranty — contact Cobbled Climbs post-purchase for warranty support. Free delivery is available on orders above Rs. 2,500 with COD across India.
