Product: Shadow Conspiracy – Simone Barraco Signature Penumbra Series 3 Seat

December 31, 2015

Is it time for a new BMX seat? Have you seen the latest version of Simone Barraco‘s signature Penumbra seat from The Shadow Conspiracy? Well, not a lot has changed from the previous version that also featured this unique Aztec pattern, but it is available in this new Army green that looks rad. The Series 3 Penumbra seat is available in Tripod or Pivotal versions, with slightly different seat pans, both seats are a Mid style seat that is wrapped in a sewn 3-panel, USA sourced, 10 oz. canvas material with plastic bumpers along the bottom to help resist wear and tear. The Pivotal version comes with a Coffin Pivotal patch which isn’t found on the Tripod version since the bolt is on the bottom.

The Simone Barraco Signature Penumbra Series 3 seat is available through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry The Shadow Conspiracy worldwide now with a weight of 9.3 oz. (tripod) or 11.8 oz. (Pivotal).
