How to choose your saddle according to your riding style
Choosing the right saddle all depends on your position on the bike.For a straight back position (90°), opt for a wide saddle, often with gel, ideal for city riding.
If you are slightly bent over (60°), an intermediate saddle will be an excellent compromise between comfort and performance for regular rides.
Finally, for a sporty position (30°), a narrow saddle with a thin nose is the solution to reduce pressure and improve your performance.
To make the most your bike ride:
To enjoy cycling, it's essential to adjust your saddle correctly.Start by choosing a model that suits your posture (for example, a 60° back angle).Then adjust the height so that your leg extends naturally without your pelvis moving.Adjust the angle for comfortable support; a neutral position is often ideal. Finally, move the saddle forwards or backwards to align your knees with the pedals, which will improve your pedalling efficiency.
1. Determining the saddle height (part 1):
To choose the right size bike, start by measuring your inseam.You will need a tape measure, a book and a pencil.Stand barefoot with your back against a wall, your heels touching the wall and your feet slightly apart (15-20 cm).Place the book between your legs, move it up to your perineum and mark the wall above the book.Then measure the distance between this mark and the floor.This height is essential for finding the right bike for your body type.
1. Determining the saddle height (part 2):
Simple adjustment for maximum comfort
Measure your inseam, then apply the formula:
Length × 0.883 = ideal saddle height (from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the saddle).
2. Adjusting the saddle angle:
A well-angled saddle = more enjoyment cycling.
Place a spirit level on the front of the saddle.
Adjust until it is completely flat.
Then fine-tune the angle according to your posture and how it feels.
3. How to measure your sit-bone width
Measure your sit bones in 4 steps:
- Place 2 pieces of corrugated cardboard on a flat stool.
- Sit upright on them and press down for 1 minute.
- Stand up, locate the marks and trace their centre.
- Measure the gap:this is the width between your sit bones.
This information is key to choosing a saddle that suits your body type.
3. Adjusting the saddle setback:

Position yourself correctly and check the alignment of your knee and pedal.
Then adjust the saddle setback according to your needs.
