How to choose your saddle according to your riding style
A saddle that adapts to your riding position for guaranteed comfort.
Straight back (90°): Wide, padded saddle for greater comfort
Inclined position (60°): Versatile saddle
Low position (30°): Thin, moulded saddle to improve your performance
TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR BIKE RIDE:
For optimal comfort, adjust your saddle at four key points. Choose a model suited to your posture (for example, a 30° back angle).Adjust the height to suit your body type, then adjust the angle to avoid discomfort.Lastly, move it forward or back for proper alignment. For complete comfort, don't forget to wear cycling attire suited to the length of your rides.
1. Determining the saddle height (part 1):
You will need:a tape measure, a hardback book and a pencil.
- Stand barefoot with your back against a wall, your heels touching the wall and your feet about 15 to 20 cm apart.
- Slide a book between your legs, gently moving it up to your perineum to simulate a saddle.
- Mark the top of the book on the wall.
Measure the distance between the floor and this mark:this is your inseam length, which is essential for determining the size of your bicycle.
1. Determining the saddle height (part 2):
How to adjust your saddle correctly: Measure your inseam (using a book and tape measure), then multiply by 0.883.
Example: 89 cm → 78.6 cm to adjust between the axis of the bottom bracket and the top of the saddle.
2. Adjusting the saddle angle:
Adjusting the saddle angle:
- Take a spirit level
- Position it in the centre near the front
- Adjust to ensure that the saddle is horizontal
Test it on several rides and then adjust until comfortable.
3. How to measure your sit bone width
To measure the space between your sit bones, use this simple method:
- Place two pieces of corrugated cardboard overlapping on a flat stool.
- Sit straight-backed and apply firm pressure for 1 minute.
- You will leave two impressions when you stand up.
- Find their centres, connect them and measure them.
This distance is an essential indicator to determine the appropriate saddle for your body shape.
3. Adjusting the saddle setback:
Advanced adjustment, immediate effect: Clip your shoes in and place the crank in a horizontal position.
If your knee is too far forward → move the saddle back.
If too far back → move it forwards.
Simple adjustment, visible results.
