How you sit and how you’re positioned on your bike affects your aerodynamics, power, and comfort. You need your hips, knees and ankles to be aligned and your saddle position correctly to achieve maximum power output. Do you have the right saddle and position to maximize your power output?
The wrong saddle can cause nerve damage, numbness, and discomfort. You need to make sure that your sit bones are optimally positioned. Your sit bones are at the lowest point of your pelvis and support your body weight. When you’re riding, these need to be positioned on the correct width saddle for optimum pedalling efficiency. Studies show that the right saddle and saddle position can increase your power by over 12%!
You might assume that a softer saddle is more comfortable, but this isn’t always the case. If your saddle is too soft, it lacks support, and your sit bones sink to your deeper-lying sensitive tissue. This can cause your muscles and tendon attachments to go numb or feel pain and discomfort.
The short (stubbed) nosed saddle use to only be popular for triathletes. But studies have shown you can increase your power output over 10% with the right saddle for you.
We want you to be seated correctly so that you can be comfortable while achieving your cycling goals. We’ll measure your seat-bones in-store and get the right saddle for you.
