SADDLE FITTING
Finding the best saddle for you can be an arduous (and not mention expensive!) task with everyone you ask having their own perception of what saddle is the best and most comfortable and if you follow their advice might end up in the same position as you were before; with a saddle that makes you want to 😭 within minutes of sitting on it.
With so many different brands and so many saddle shapes and sizes available it can be a mine field of where to start and what to look for. The most important factor with a saddle is that it will be completely personal for you and you won't know until you've actually sat on it and ridden your bike for a number of miles.
Most bikes come with the cheapest saddle and usually coloured to match the bike but bike manufacturers know that this is likely to be one of the first things you will be looking to replace.
We use the Selle Italia id match system which can help narrow the search and uses your measurements to help identify what type of saddle is better and which ones will likely cause discomfort.
We have demo saddles available from Selle Italia and Fizik to test ride.
Combining a Fibra-Tek cover, TI 316 rails and a Superflow channel, the Selle Italia MAX NOVUS EVO Boost Gel TI 316 Superflow Saddle is well-equipped for the demands of modern road cycling.
Perfect for racing and endurance road cycling disciplines, this saddle features a high-quality fibra-tek cover that is made from a technical material to guarantee strong and durable performance on every ride. Selle Italia has also kitted out this version with TI 316 stainless steel rails for an increase of up to 25% in resistance and durability as well as a reduction in weight by 15% in comparison to traditional rails. Another highlight is its waved (curved) profile that's recommended for static cyclists or riders with a posterior pelvic tilt. Also benefitting from a Superflow channel that runs down its middle section, it drastically reduces pressure, numbness and fatigue so you can enjoy lasting comfort on longer journeys. Weighing in at only 228g, this is a great choice of upgrade for reliable support without any weight penalty.
