Ergon SR Sport Gel Saddle - Women's

Don't toss comfort to the wind when you're bringing your power to the peloton. Instead, saddle up on the Ergon SR Sport Gel Saddle for Women and take the sting out of chattery roads and crushing climbs. This women's-specific take on the saddle is built for flawless comfort throughout the miles, thanks to its orthopedic comfort foam, and strategically placed gel pads that dampen rugged vibrations from the road. In center you'll find a long cutout that's crafted to alleviate pressure from your most sensitive anatomy, while a wide, winged back supports your sit bones when you're in the drops hammering for your breakaway. To top it all off, Ergon employs a smooth but durable microfiber cover that allows you to move around on the saddle as needed, with minimal rubbing against your favorite bibs.

Mavic XA Elite WTS 29in Boost Wheelset

The mid-travel 29er is no longer a novelty, and Mavic's 29in XA Elite WTS Boost Wheelset adds the final element to push wagon wheels into proper all-mountain territory: rim width. The rim's 25mm internal width lets 2.35in tires fill out with more air volume. More volume means lower PSI, which in turn translates to more traction, more cushion, and—when paired with the durable Crossmax Quest tires—fewer flats. The wide rims are matched with equally wide Boost hubs, which improve spoke bracing angle and overall wheel stiffness to eliminate the one issue we've had with wagon wheels: noodliness.

Despite its huge diameter and width, the rim is still classically Mavic: light, stiff, and as durable as alloy hoops come. The low weight comes courtesy of Mavic's oh-so-French ISM 4D process of extruding and machining the rim, a process that's now in its fourth generation. With each successive iteration, ISM has gotten more and more extreme, removing extra material and rounding off the squared edges of previous verisons. The strategic milling ensures that lost material doesn't equate to lost stiffness; however, this new generation is admittedly helped in the stiffness department by the wider rim and the improved spoke bracing angle of Boost hubs.

The XA Elite's rims also lose a bit of material from the inside, where Mavic has eliminated the bead hook in an update to its original Universal Standard Tubeless (UST) tire bed design. UST first surfaced in the late '90s, when Mavic teamed up with Michelin and Hutchinson to effectively kill the tube. As with most things bike-related, Mavic proved that it was ahead of its time, and it took tubeless a while to catch on in the popular imagination.

Now, of course, it's everywhere, and Mavic celebrated the technology's renaissance by introducing yet another development; namely, the hookless beads mentioned above. Though it's counterintuitive at first, eliminating the apparent security of a bead hook actually makes the tire more secure. Stronger tire beads, bead channels in the rim's tire bed, the elimination of an artificial weak point at the base of the bead hook—the reasons are legion and we could go on for pages about it. But we'll spare you the details by noting that Mavic's hookless UST design reduces burping and makes installation easier.

The rims are laced to Mavic's own hubs, and the brand's meticulous French expertise manifests here in the form of a freehub with two pairs of pawls with contrapuntal engagement. More engagement points mean less dead space between pedal input and forward motion—crucial for popping up rock features or cleaning tricky cruxes. Mavic also supplies the tires, and its mid-sized Quest model is happiest when you're sitting on the rear brake leading into roosty berms or when it can demonstrate its plush grip on loam-dusted root lattices.

SDG Components Allure Ti-Alloy Saddle - Women's

The enchanting SDG Components Allure Ti-Alloy Saddle will have you hooked instantly thanks to its comfy, forgiving, and lightweight design. Anatomically-designed, the flat-forward platform allows ease of movement on the saddle, while the down-curved nose aids in climbs and prevents irritating snagging.

Terry Bicycles FLX Saddle - Women's

Although the Terry Butterfly saddle is the most popular of its line, not all women need a saddle quite as wide or as padded. Professional women racers often prefer lighter weight, less padded saddles. The FLX series is the latest in Terry Bicycle's saddle design featuring a unique shape and lighter weight. 

There are a few things to look for when deciding which is the optimal saddle for your riding and anatomy. First you'll want to know the width between your sit bones. Easily measurable, this tells you the approximate width of a saddle necessary to support your sit bones. While the Terry Butterfly measures 155mm, the FLX is a narrower 142mm.

Cushioning is also another thing to look at while trying to choose a saddle. And while none of Terry's saddles feature the super soft gel of days of yore that often caused more sores than it prevented, they do have varying grades of supportive cushioning. The FLX is one of its minimally padded saddles.

Additionally, the FLX features a unique shape. Rather than a traditional one-piece pear-shape with a cutout, the shell is designed with an almost complete cutaway from the back area between the paddle to the nose. This does two things. First, it gives you pressure relief for soft tissue zones along the entire length of the saddle. Second, it provides two very distinct perches for your sit bones so that you won't slide around trying to locate the perfect position.

The rails of the FLX are constructed from durable Manganese and the entire saddle is covered in black leather with classic white patent leather accents.

The Terry FLX saddle is 260mm long by 142mm wide. It is available in Black.

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.

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.

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.

Terry Bicycles Butterfly Cromoly Saddle - Women's

In 1999, Terry Bicycles introduced the Butterfly saddle, a women's-specific saddle. For 16 years, Terry has been designing and testing saddles for female athletes and the Butterfly Cromoly represents the best of all the research and development. 

The Butterfly Cromoly combines the features most sought after by women: support, cushioning, and flexibility. To begin with, it features a wider-than-normal paddle width. The paddle is the widest part of the saddle at the back — it functions to support your sit bones. Where many race saddles are a narrow 130mm, the Butterfly is 155mm. While professional riders often ride smaller saddles to enable fast position changes, Terry understands, in general, that the touring, endurance, or casual female rider is more concerned with comfort for long rides. Additionally, the saddle features a full-length cut-away through the nose and mid-section. This provides pressure relief for soft tissue. The saddle has also been designed so that it flexes, ever so slightly which aids in protecting delicate areas from pressure sores.

The Butterfly Cromoly saddle is designed with the identical attributes of the Butterfly Ti saddle, however, using cromoly rails and a synthetic covers keeps you from cringing when you look at the pricetag. The saddle is perfect for any level of rider looking for a comfortable women's saddle that won't break the bank. The one difference is that the cromoly version is the heaviest of the Butterflies weighing in at 335grams. But, if comfort trumps weight-savings in your book, the Butterfly Cromoly is an excellent choice. The saddle is covered in smooth vinyl with a textured leather back.

The Terry Bicycle's Butterfly Cromoly Saddle is 261mm long by 155mm wide and weighs 335grams. It is available in Black.

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.

Brooks England B67 S Saddle - Women's

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.

Fi'zi:k Luce Manganese Saddle - Women's

You can tell, after a few spins around the driveway, that the saddle that came with your new road bike leaves something to be desired. Sure, you could put up with it for a season or so, narrowing down exactly where it puts the most uncomfortable pressure on your sit bones, or you could skip the pain and swap it out right away for the Fizik Luce Manganese Saddle. Fizik devoted a considerable amount of time and effort to its new women's-specific saddle, shaping it to accommodate women's bodies with a more drastic taper towards the nose to even out weight distribution and ensure thigh clearance.

As you test your new bike's limits on longer, faster rides, the Luce's three-piece shell will adapt to your body movement to prevent fatigue while maintaining just the right amount of stiffness. 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.

Terry Bicycles Damselfly Saddle - Women's

Terry Bicycles is committed to designing saddles that cater to all levels of cyclists, from the casual rider to the consummate professional. The Damselfly Saddle was developed at the behest of Terry's sponsored riders, so you can be sure it's all about speed.

A wide saddle can offer touring-style comfort, but it also interferes with pedaling, so Terry designed the Damselfly with a narrow 267mm profile for comfort while pedaling in anger. The slightly elevated tail provides a platform to push against when you're sitting back on climbs, and the extended drop nose confers space during the sprint and gives you the option of sitting on the nose while tucked during long solo efforts.

The Damselfly also includes Terry's signature center cutaway. This feature relieves pressure and allows the saddle to flex rather than compress under load, so you don't lose the cushioning provided by the firm foam padding. The saddle is finished with a smooth Lorica cover, which allows you to move easily around the saddle, and Vanox vanadium rails that are at once durable and lightweight.

Terry Bicycles Butterfly LTD Saddle - Women's

We're pretty sure that nobody ever said comfort and style have to be mutually exclusive, and Terry Bicycles is quick to prove the point with the Butterfly LTD Saddle. This saddle offers the tried-and-tested support that Terry is known for, with injection-molded multi-density foam, and a women's specific cut with wide, 155mm rear to support your sit bones, and a full-length channel that alleviates pressure from your sensitive tissue. To bring feminine flair to the Butteryfly, Terry wraps the saddle with printed Dura-Tek featuring limited edition artwork that wraps around with a touch of color, and swooping lines that resemble a butterfly taking flight.

Syncros XR1.0 Carbon Saddle - Women's

Syncros' top-end XR 1.0 Carbon Saddle was designed with a women's-specific fit and just enough cushioning for roosting berms and railing turns down singletrack all day. The addition of 7 x 9mm carbon rails and a carbon-injected nylon base add to the saddle's vibration damping powers across root-latticed trails and rocky climbs.

Not strictly a race saddle, the XR 1.0 has a light layer of PU cushioning for added comfort over long rides. The soft microfiber outer cover wrapped over the entire saddle to protect it from wear-and-tear from the elements is strictly race-minded, though. Syncros includes a pressure-relief channel in the middle of the saddle for a strategic distribution of weight, and the positive material surrounding the channel is shaped to accommodate women's anatomies. The XR 1.0 is also available in two width options, so you don't have to sacrifice comfort for this lightweight, efficient addition to your mountain bike.

Fi'zi:k Luna - X5 Saddle - Women's

Weave through tight tree lines, and power up punchy switchbacks in comfort with help from the Fi'zi:k Luna X5 Saddle for Women. This MTB-specific saddle gives you reliable support when you're crushing technical sections, with a wide profile that cradles your sitbones, while a shorter, narrower nose stays out of the way until you need it for those front-of-the-saddle power-move packed climbs. A central cutout gives you sweet relief from pressure on your most sensitive tissue while you ride, aiding in increased blood flow, while fighting numbness.

The Luna X5 is aimed for riders with a high power output to bodyweight ratio, with a stiff carbon-injected nylon shell, and two thermoplastic elastomer wings that are bonded with the nylon spine. These wings provide just enough flex to keep you comfortable, while the carbon-injected center holds up to rigors of trail riding, and dampens chatter. The cover is crafted from smooth and sleek classic Microtex that stands up to hard miles in the saddle, while the sides feature reinforced Microtex panels that hold up to the abrasion of pedal-heavy rides. It sits on top of Fi'zi:k's IscialFlex padding, which keeps your soft tissue cushioned for longer, harder rides in comfort. The saddle sits ontop of two corrosion-resistant S-alloy rails that give stiffness and power that won't waiver when the trail gets rowdy ahead.
