Next up is the D-Spyder ‘Original’, a more durable and economical version of the previous D-Spyder. Just like the S-Spec above, the ‘Original’ retains the same proven shape but utilizes the more durable Carbonite composite shell matched to a stronger but less exotic hollow Chromoly rail. At 175g, the D-Spyder ‘Original’ is still one of the lightest BMX saddle on the market, and now, it’s also the most affordable D-Spyder saddle ever! Whereas the D-Spyder S-Spec is designed for performance at the expense of some durability, the ‘Original’ is built strong and can take on the rigors of any BMX action without issue! The D-Spyder ‘Original’ is available in white, black, green, and chocolate. D-Spyder Original MSRP US$55.00
