Struggling to find the best bike saddle? We can help!

Bike saddles shouldn’t feel like sitting on a knife edge. With so many options available, it can be overwhelming and expensive to find the right one. At Total Endurance, we’re here to simplify the process and help you find a saddle that makes every ride enjoyable.

Common Saddle Issues

Discomfort: Pain or soreness during or after a ride can be caused by the saddle’s shape, size, padding, or position.

Numbness or Tingling: Pressure on nerves and blood vessels can cause numbness or tingling in the genital area or buttocks, often due to a poorly fitting saddle.

Chafing: Friction between the skin and saddle can lead to painful sores or blisters, especially during long rides or in humid conditions.

Saddle Sores: Prolonged pressure and friction can cause infected bumps or boils that take weeks to heal.

Slipping or Sliding: A saddle that doesn’t stay in place can be uncomfortable and impact your performance.

Personalised Saddle Fitting Process

The right saddle is unique to you. With our range of Selle Italia and Fizik saddles, you can test different options before committing. Here’s how we find your perfect fit using the Selle Italia ID match system:

Step 1: Measure Hip Width We measure the intertrochanteric distance to determine if you need a wider or narrower saddle.

• S saddles: Hip width 131mm-136mm
• L saddles: Hip width 145mm-150mm

Step 2: Measure Thigh Diameter We compare your thigh diameter to your hip width to suggest a narrower saddle if needed.

Step 3: Determine Pelvic Rotation This crucial step identifies your level of pelvic rotation (low, average, or high) to recommend the right saddle:

• S1 and L1: No central hole, for low pelvic rotation
• S2 and L2: Minimum-sized central cut, for average pelvic rotation
• S3 and L3: Large central hole, for high pelvic rotation, with Superflow technology for extra comfort

Finding Your Perfect Saddle

After identifying the best type of saddle for you, we’ll discuss your riding style. Whether you need a fitness saddle with more padding or a performance saddle for different scenarios, we have options. We also offer Triathlon/TT-specific saddles and ultra-lightweight saddles under 65g.

30-Day Comfort Guarantee

We’re confident in our fitting process. That’s why every saddle comes with a 30-day comfort guarantee. Try it, and if it’s not comfortable, we’ll swap it for another design based on your feedback.

Demo Saddles

In-store we have a range of demo saddles that you can hire for up to 30 days and ensure the saddle is right for you before committing to the saddle.  This saves you from having to purchase different saddles and have to go through the hassle of trying to sell them if they aren't right for you.
