Selle Italia Diva Gel Flow Saddle – Women’s

Selle Italia recognizes that comfort is often sacrificed in the pursuit of weight reduction. The Diva Gel Flow saddle is a women-specific perch that finds the balance between low weight and comfort, so you can ride efficiently without perpetual agony.

The Selle Italia Diva Gel Flow saddle can be easily recognized by the massive anatomic cutout across the top that relieves the rider’s soft tissue areas. The saddle directs your weight to the sit bones, so they can do what they’re designed do.The Diva Gel Flow also uses plenty of padding—something that most race saddles can’t claim—to provide the rider with a comfortable perch. It’s easy to spot the ladies using the Diva Gel Flow, too—just search the peloton for riders who aren’t in agony.

The Diva Gel Flow starts with a nylon composite base. The saddle is stiff enough for efficient pedaling, but it also gives enough to comfortably conform to your body’s movements. The Vanox rails also allow a bit of flex to dampen road shock and absorb vibration. Finally, the Diva Gel Flow comes in one generous width—152mm—for additional comfort.

Astute Italia Miss Line VT Saddle – Women’s

Pushing the boundaries of saddle innovation without straying from their Venetian roots, Astute Italia crafted the Miss Line VT Saddle with a premium fit and finish, alongside a female-specific round shape and center channel cut-out.  The open, U-shaped shell reduces pressure and ensures support for female cyclists pushing themselves on a daily basis. This particular saddle belongs to Astute Italia’s Miss Line of elegant saddles designed exclusively for female cyclists, with this particular saddle developed with input from the Wiggle Hi5 women’s cycling team.

Astute Italia uses a soft, washable Italian microfiber cover for durability and comfort, alongside dual-density Progressive Memory Foam in two selective areas, as to ensure the rear end is a bit firmer to support the sit bones and front is softer for a bit more comfort and mobility. The rails employ tubular Titan-V Technology of 80 percent titanium and 20 percent vanadium to reduce vibration without sacrificing the saddle’s lightweight efficiency and robust strength on the road.

WTB Deva HP Comp Saddle – Women’s

WTB’s Deva HP Comp Saddle blends comfortable padding and support with a cost that won’t leave your bank account crying.

Terry Bicycles Butterfly Cromoly Gel Saddle – Women’s

When Georgena Terry brought women’s specific bike design to the industry in 1985, she shaped a company destined to become a go-to for women cyclists. True to her passion of designing cycling gear that specifically addresses the fit and needs of women, she expanded the line to include saddles, the primary touch-point while riding. And while the company has expanded and grown, and Terry is no longer at the helm, the Butterfly Cromoly Gel saddle remains one of its most popular models. 

Designed in 1999, the Butterfly Saddle, is by no means dated. In fact, it embodies the best of the research and development Terry has done with both professional as well as recreational cyclists. Constructed on FeC Alloy rails, the Butterfly is 155mm wide at the paddle which provides support for women’s wider sit bones. The flatter top means that the saddle will not put excess pressure on the soft tissue area between your sit bones. The injection molded foam is multiple densities, with a stiffer foam on the paddles and softer foam near the nose. Additionally, the Butterfly features a thin layer of supportive gel along the top. Unlike squishy seat covers, the gel inserts are firm and provide optimal support without added pressure against soft tissue. A traditional pear shape, the saddle features a full-length channel with a cutout which also helps to minimize pressure.

The entire saddle is covered in smooth microfiber with textured leather. It is made in Italy and features the fine attention to detail that is the mark of Italian design.

The Terry Butterfly Cromoly Gel Saddle weighs 369 grams and has a length of 262mm. It is available in Black.

Fi’zi:k Luce – R5 Saddle – Women’s

Take the sting away from all day rides without breaking the bank with the Fi’zi:k Luce R5 saddle. This luxe saddle utilizes the same shape and construction as its carbon-railed counterpart, but opts for cost-saving S-alloy rails instead, shaving a big bill off of the price, while keeping your sit bones happy. It features a wide, 144mm shell (regular), topped with an Ischial Flex cover that both cushions you, and stands up to long and rigorous miles that but the hurt on your saddle.

The Luce is crafted with a three-piece shell that will adapt to your body movement to prevent fatigue while maintaining just the right amount of stiffness, combining two thermoplastic panels with the center carbon-reinforced nylon. You’ll be able to drive power into the pedals when you’re floating along a serpentine climb after work, with enough flex to enjoy staying out all day on Saturday group rides. A lengthy pressure relief cutout along the saddle’s middle also helps with this; it encourages healthy, consistent circulation throughout soft tissue to prevent numbness from getting in the way of enjoying new routes, races, and sporadic rides to the café.

Astute Italia uses a soft, washable Italian microfiber cover for durability and comfort, alongside dual-density Progressive Memory Foam in two selective areas, as to ensure the rear end is a bit firmer to support the sit bones and front is softer for a bit more comfort and mobility. And to ensure you’re not slipping and sliding all over the place, there’s textured areas along the rear and sides for additional security, even if it’s a bit wet outside.

Fi’zi:k Luce Carbon R1 Saddle – Women’s

You won’t hear us arguing around the office as to whether or not designers at Fi’zi:k know their way around a saddle. It’s been years that they’ve been crafting them out of luxurious materials, with sleek and minimalist silhouettes, combining attention to aesthetics with comfort and performance that seals the deal, and the Luce Carbon R1 Women’s Saddle is no different. The Luce R1 takes the previous Luce Carbon’s shape and comfort, and adds a kick of style thanks to its sleek black uppers and teal thermoplastic elastomer, bringing the Luce into the modern age where style and comfort go hand in hand.

This elimination of width beyond what was necessary to support the sit bones allows Fizik to create more space for uninterrupted, chafe-free pedaling—and it also saves grams. This is done in a crafty manner, keeping the carbon reinforced nylon shell in the center to evently distribute weight over the site bones, while thermoplastic elastomer panels flex along the sides to enhance comfort and absorb vibrations from chattery road. Additionally, Fizik includes a pressure-relief channel through the middle of the saddle to promote circulation whether you’re sprinting or out on a recovery ride, and a slightly cushioned cover provides flexible support without limiting energy return. Sitting atop vibration-damping carbon fiber rails, this is a women’s-specific saddle that’s up to the job of keeping you comfortable on hard rides and high mileage weeks.
