Creation of the foam or the padding that's used specific for the needs of the triathlete or the aero bar athlete. Once they're rotated forward moving forward sliding forward in that arrow position offers the same pelvic. Stability seen elimination of numbness. Because there's no compression of soft tissue which is the same for men and. Women it's not a male or female specific. Saddle it's a human specific saddle and. The scene whose benefits apply we want.

Most triathletes the is and the da mo's saddle which has really no support on the front of it and the beef most. People have is that it's wide in the. Nose and it rubs on some people's v so how does this compare the tri saddle to. The highest sense though well i think the most important thing to understand. Is that there's two standout features. That separate you know what is become a. Very popular saddle in the triathlon world to new technology and benefits the. First being the series of saddles that. Run from the t3 which is going to be. This saddle which is the smallest narrowest in the line and all the way up. To the t1 which is the other side which is the largest so each individual. Rider can find the saddle that fits them. Proportionally that's optimum meaning we. Don't want to put the very large athlete. On the very narrowest saddle or vice versa because they interact with the saddle differently there the proportions aren't the same between. Those two athletes so we can optimally. Match the size of the athlete to the size of the saddle level of padding. Whether you prefer a little bit more minimalistic level padding to a greater. Degree of padding a little bit softer.

Gives you greater pelvic stability because you don't introduce the chance of the saddle becoming out of plane. Whether that's from rider weight from pedaling from the forces of the seat post. Causing the saddle to separate or to. Move and so by continuing this shell it. Bends out of the way so there's no contact with the body same thing applies from the road line to the tribe line that you still get a modified eagle beat.

Can't distort the saddle pedaling forces can't distort the saddle so you maintain optimum stability optimum comfort optimal performance well that's awesome. I got just one question though did they only come in these colors well the very. Distinct red and yellow are our test saddles so you can come in and try them out for yourself and then, and then we know if we lost our tests out that's right can't get mixed up in the studio and then as far as regular saddles they. Come in black white or the fluoro yellow. Fluorescent color ok thanks a lot dave, so we're gonna have these test saddles at our trek locations, and we do pro bike. Fitting that's all part of getting set up correctly on the bike having the right saddle as well so come on in. Check out these new saddles, and we hope to see you soon thank you.
Selle Italia SP-01 Kit Carbonio Superflow Saddle - Men's
With its lightweight but sturdy construction, a sleek shape, and a futuristic independent flex design, the SP-01 Kit Carbonio Superflow Saddle is a result of ongoing product research into more effective saddle designs by Selle Italia, one of the industry leaders in high-performance cycling saddles. By introducing an innovative rear frame that allows independent flex of the left and right sides of the saddle, the SP-01 Kit Carbonio Superflow more effectively supports the alternating motions of your hips while pedaling, improving overall comfort without compromising stability when it's time to put power down to the pedals. And by pairing this technology with a large center cutout that relieves perineal pressure, the saddle further improves comfort by helping reduce the numbness or pain that can result from prolonged pressure to this soft tissue region over the course of a longer ride.
The SP-01 series of saddles are constructed from a variety of different materials at different price points, and the SP-01 Kit Carbonio Superflow sits near the top of the lineup right below the featherweight Tekno version. Though it weighs roughly 25g more than the top-of-the-line SP-01 Tekno, it's rated for both on and off-road use whereas the Tekno is recommended for road use only and has a rider weight limit. By using CarboKeramic rails and a shell comprised of a carbon fiber/nylon blend, Selle Italia is still able to achieve an impressive weight, but without any durability concerns or a rider weight limit. The SP-01 Kit Carbonio Superflow comes in two sizes to fit most rider's sit bone widths, and uses Selle Italia's signature Fibra-Tek microfiber cover that resists tearing and abrasion for outstanding longevity.

Numbness or soft tissue pressure we now have one model available in two. Different sizes we have the 130 and the. 145 this signifies that the company has. Finally caved to the notion that not one. Size for every rider but that one model. Should be made in a variety of sizes to.

Selle SMP Lite 209 Saddle - Men's
Built to relieve the pressure that many race saddles place on the pudendal nerve and surrounding soft tissue, the Selle SMP Lite 209's pronounced central channel eliminates numbness to reduce fatigue. The unique beak shape provides a flat base while sitting, but reduces pressure on the genital area. It's designed for pants ranging in size from medium to extra-large, the rear of the saddle has been raised to provide an optimized position during hard pedaling. The Lite 209 is made with a nylon/carbon composite shell for efficient power transfer and an engineered flex for comfort. The stainless steel rails also provide mild shock and vibration absorption. Cushioning over harsh terrain, the saddle's foam elastomer padding is wrapped in supple leather or microfiber (depending on your choice) to deliver all-day comfort.
Brooks England B17 Standard Saddle - Men's
Urban cycling (like cycling in general, to be fair) is all about blending form with function, and nobody does that better than Brooks England. Its B17 Standard Men's Saddle is the epitome of this design philosophy, and Brooks has been making it for over 100 years, so it's not surprising that the company has the B17 pretty much dialed. The full-grain leather cover helps keep the saddle from overheating on warm days, and is designed to conform slowly to your anatomy over long periods of riding, so you'll end up with a nearly custom fit after a few months. The B17's steel rails are strong and absorb road vibrations, and the saddle's wide tail and abrupt taper help provide a solid pedaling platform while eliminating rubbing and discomfort.
Brooks England C17 Cambium Saddle - Men's
The Brooks C17 Cambium Saddles are a massive, tectonic-plate-shifting departure from the venerable saddle maker. Why? Because they’re not leather. Brooks made its name over the last century making the best leather saddles on the planet. Even as other saddle makers adopted microfibers, foams, gels, and other modern materials, Brooks remained steadfast. Now, though, they’ve developed a rubber/canvas construction technique that offers all the benefits of their leather saddles in a weather- and vegan-friendly package. The shell of the saddle is a natural rubber, which is vulcanized to a cotton canvas topper.
The break-in period for a Brooks saddle is nearly as legendary as the saddles themselves, and the Cambiums are a bit different, though special care should still be taken. The rubber needs very little breaking in –it should be quite comfortable out of the box. The canvas topper, however, is a bit rough, and will abrade Lycra shorts quickly and severely. For this reason, we recommend breaking this saddle in on a more casual bike (one that you’d wear jeans on) before putting it on a bike that will see Lycra time.
Brooks England Swift Saddle - Men's
Brooks England drew its inspiration for the Men’s Swift Saddle from its 1890 catalog. This vintage-looking leather bike saddle features firm, high-quality leather that breaks in to fit your bum like leather boots form to fit your feet—say goodbye to having a sore backside. Also, leather is porous and allows for ventilation, so these seats feel comfortably cool on hot days. Because copper is gentler to leather than steel, and because tour racers of yore would have their saddles outfitted with large rivets because that made the seats last longer, the Swift features nine oversized, hand-hammered copper rivets. Choose from titanium or chrome-plated steel rails.

Fi'zi:k Arione R3 Open White Edition Saddle - Men's
We know The Rules dictate white bar tape if you want to look pro and also stipulates that said tape must match the saddle, so if you're looking to complete the look and you're a fan of its shape, please check out the Arione R3 Open White Edition Saddle from Fi'zi:k. Always a perennial favorite in the pro peloton, this version of the Arione receives pressure-relieving cutouts for comfort over long distance training and racing. By combining this anatomic cutout design with a classic shape in two widths, many find the Arione R3 Open Saddle as a friendly perch for 5-hour long base rides and 1-hour criteriums alike.
Even though saddle selection is highly personal, we feel like there is some takeaway from riders who rack up more miles in one season then we will in a few. Thus, the Arione R3 Open Saddle is a performance-oriented road saddle for riders who want a flat saddle profile with a cut-out to avoid pressure and numbness. If you always wanted to upgrade from your stock saddle to a more highly-tuned one, this saddle should be one to consider. It represents Fi'zi:k's sleek design and top-quality craftsmanship at a price that isn't astronomical. The white Microtex cover is easy to care for, as is the k:ium rails and the carbon-reinforced nylon shell drops grams while offering the ideal foundation for dishing out the watts.
Selle SMP F30 C Carbon Rail Saddle - Men's
For those of you who want the benefits of a Selle SMP saddle but can't quite come to terms with the looks comes the F30 C Carbon Rail Saddle. This saddle has a more compact, "stub-nose" shape without quite the exaggerated drop nose but make no mistake, it's all Selle SMP. Those unique design features provide greater riding comfort while deep in the drops versus conventional saddles and provide the ability to move about, finding a perfectly powerful position without a hint of excessive pressure. Another patented SMP carryover is its ergonomic center channel that relieves the potential of compression in the perineal and prostate area helping to eliminate tingling and numbness. Additionally, nerves and the vascular regions are protected allowing the entire area to benefit from increased blood flow and better ventilation.
The tail of the saddle receives a kicked up design for maximum pelvic support and better stabilization. This provides a better foundation to brace against while putting out the watts as well as a more powerful and comfortable position when climbing. It's also worth noting that the rear of the saddle has a slight cutout to protect the coccyx.
This particular saddle is covered in leather on the black version and receives a microfiber cover for the white one. It receives a minimal amount of foamed elastomer padding covering a carbon reinforced nylon shell. The 7.1 x 9.0mm saddle rails are constructed from unidirectional, high modulus carbon fiber for a wide fore and aft range, great shock absorption, and it saves 50 grams over the stainless steel version.
Selle SMP Forma Carbon Rail Saddle - Men's
The Selle SMP Forma Carbon Rail Saddle takes design notes from the Composit saddle, but with a slightly wider width that's ideal for those of us with broader sit bones. The rails are made from unidirectional "high modulus" carbon fiber for maximum lightness and strong resistance to impact, keeping up with your most demanding rides without slowing you down. The innovative shape and pressure-relief channel are fully intact and without any excessive padding. This keeps weight and bulk to a minimum while maintaining the shape and supportive characteristics SMP saddles are known for. The saddle is wrapped in leather, and has a durable elastomer nylon and carbon composite shell to hold up to both road and mountain applications.
The Forma sits at 137mm wide and is best suited for medium to large pelvises and it features a thinner profile than other models in this range. At the front of the saddle is the characteristic beak nose shape designed to relieve pressure while seated. SMP's pronounced "free" central channel, further reduces pressure on the pudendal nerve and surrounding soft tissue. The back of the saddle is raised to support a powerful pedaling position, where body weight is divided between the rear and lower part of the ischial tuberosity region. This shape also helps reduce overall pressure on the coccyx while riding over rough surfaces.
Selle Italia SP-01 Superflow Saddle - Men's
The SP-01 Superflow Saddle is a recent addition to Selle Italia's lineup and introduces a futuristic design consisting of an adaptive rear frame that allows independent flexing of the left and right sides of the saddle. The concept behind this design is that the "suspension link movement" effectively supports the movement of your pelvis for enhanced comfort as you're spinning, all without compromising your stability during more intense pedaling efforts. Selle Italia pairs this technology with a large center cutout that helps reduce numbness and pain by relieving pressure in the perineal area during long days of racking up miles on the road or trail.
The SP-01 Superflow uses Ti 316 rails made from a blend of titanium and stainless steel that provides some shock-absorption over rough terrain while increasing strength and reducing weight compared to traditional rails. The carbon and nylon blend that comprises the shell also helps to keep the weight down while offering a supportive platform for hard pedaling. The saddle is available in two sizes to support a wider range of sit bone widths, and uses a sturdy Fibra-Tek microfiber cover that resists tearing and abrasion for long-term durability.
I'm here with massimo from cellar italia. And he's gonna tell us a bit more about some of their new saddles this year we present two important sellers the first one is the spc r1 is a new we say the. New year of the design because in this case we have a saddle with a flow system. Just go on the back and not on the one. The front as the other set off for sale italia our laboratory study allowed to. Have this saddle coming from the automotive designer so it's very cool in. Terms of style design very high in terms. Of material and technology and it's. Helped the rider to have two different kinds of comfort the first one is thanks to the super flow system sorry just to be clear the same price system is the kind of the cutout on the in the middle of the saddle besides the rider to spread out. All the pressure you can have on the perineal area the other comfort is the. Movement that the two wings out the. Rider to feel more comfortable even if. The body is a agnes a helping by the. Shape of the saddle moving a little. But when the rider's pedal it's now. Moved on something a bit different because this has got the cuts out down the front yeah exactly this is the novice booster it's coming from the novice and run super floor it's perfect. For the rider that want to have a performing product in a comfortable. Product that the comfortable elements are the double padding coming from. The back up to the nose and even the nose has the padding t in the front so. Even if the rider say on the front of. The saddle it feels very it feels a good sensation. And then there is the super flow cut out. And as for the especially one and the. Other shadows its absolute right to don't feel so much pressure on the perineal area and its helps rather to. Think about only about riding pedaling. And not about any possible pain or. Critical elements and you feel like more of your customers are buying the saddles with cutouts now. Most of the riders now is moving from. The classical settle without the cutout. Or a field shape to this kind of cell so. A big cut out that is the rider to feel. More comfortable in this case we create a compact product with this kind of. Elements if you move forward you feel. The two elements of comfort but you can. Push very hard on the pedal this is the. Right shadow for the amateur rider for. The gran fondo rider that i want to have a very good comfortable performing. Product we give the possibility to all. The customer to find the right saddle in. The right size and to find the price that is suitable for the pocket of every. Single customer so we are working for. The riders not only working for the performing now on something a little. Different I'm here with luke the creator of any clip facing system our system. Have a new idea that's to fit to. Adjust cleat under the foot we put the. Shoes in the system that's position. Permit us to have a fix at the shoes on. Our workstation we choose the. Characteristical cleat, and we use the goniometer that have the same shape of the glitter. We put on the system and we can regulate. The distance to have the good fitting to. Individuate the right position we use. These instruments to measure the characteristic of food length width and. The position of the head of the first. Metatarsal these measurements we can put. In a web app that each customer can. Download the system inside have an. Algorithm that calculate the right. Distance from the internal heel of the. Shoes to the point on the axis of the. Pedal we replicated this distance. This scale we can put the right position. Cleat in terms of distance and rotation. Inside or outside for the road. Shoes is possible to determine a the. Inside or outside position of the click. Under this shows so the algorithm is. Likely going to make sure that you can get the perfect click position on any show you with any clay yes absolutely. Nice jess
Selle Italia Novus TM Flow L - Men's
Selle Italia recently took a trip to the nineties, bringing back its Novus line and reworking it to exceed 21st century cycling standards. The Novus TM Flow L Shows why the brand is still successful after over a century. It's built on a frame of strong Manganese rails and a composite body that combine to provide a firm ride without sacrificing comfort. The shape works well for many riding positions, be it upright, forward-leaning aero, or anything in between. A cutout in the center relieves perineal pressure for long-distance comfort, while a Duro-Tek cover resists tearing and abrasion to ensure long-term durability.
Selle SMP KRYT3 Saddle - Men's
Selle SMP designs saddles for various cycling disciplines and with its Men's KRYT3 Saddle, it might just be the first saddle we've come across that's built for criteriums. We're quite certain that’s not the only arena it will excel in and we're kind of surprised it doesn't come with some sort of protective anti-abrasion material on the sides to withstand the inevitable crash, but nevertheless, it's designed with a shape that supports quick adjustments to speed and handling that’s needed on a tight, closed course. This saddle gets its signature shaping and standard elastomer foam padding keeping you comfortable way past the 1-hour plus a lap timing of your typical crit.
The KRYT3 is indeed all SMP with its signature pressure relieving center channel and iconic dropped nose. This shaping relieves pressure on soft tissue and places it on the sit bones which, as it turns out, are way better at supporting our body weight while seated. SMP shapes the carbon reinforced nylon shell to work best for a cyclist with pant size ranging between 30 and 35-inches for maximum comfort. The black version features a soft leather cover while the color versions use a durable microfiber. Stainless steel rails resist corrosion and boost durability so the saddle stays with you for years to come.
So these sounds are really specific. First of all they are to say we have a. Very special design patented. Design why we start from the assumption. That cycling must be a pleasure so we. Have very specific and exclusive. Features on all of our selves first of all there's the complete open cutout from the back up to the nose you can. Find many saddles with just a hole in the middle but the most important part where the carrot must be is the front why because most of pressure on your perineal area and private parts is concentrated here while riding and this. Is what this is one of the things that make our service different from the others another thing is the nose. Dropping down so it's very important to. Avoid any pressure on your private parts. And per unit area again so to get a better comfort and better performance as well as you can see maybe some of them. Some people they know our curved shape. Which features most of our models why. Because in this way when sitting on the. Saddle when riding there's a better. Match between the shape of the ischial generosities and the surface of the. Saddle so no matter we'll wash your. Pelvis rotation depending on your. Position on the bike but you can have a perfect match between them moving pressure from the private parts to the. Ischial generosities which is the only good place where pressure must be. But we're gonna launch a new. Concept a new evolution in the concept of smb which is yes 30c ok as you can. See first of all differently from our. Traditional concept is not curved but. It's flatter why because if some users. Need to get a better support thanks to. This shape so from between your ischial. Generosities and especially the back up back part of the saddle having a very solid position of the on the bike. Some others they need to be more. Especially mentally they wanna be more free to move by riding and in this way. They can have the maximum freedom of. Movement no matter what the position they assume on the bike, and we have two. Versions of these thank you very much is. The f30 so it's the same sub in two. Different lines, so we have all the options available for customers to. Get onboard on these new models and the. Main thing is that you have on both versions you have a wide sitting surface. On the back for easier to grow this but in the same time you have a very lean. Shape in the central part of the saddle and on front as well so you don't. Scratch with your lights against the saddle so everybody it doesn't matter what the body configuration can use these models with satisfaction so it's a kind. Of universal new concept which can fit. Everybody and it depends on if they prefer. A short or a long shadow.
Selle SMP Glider Carbon Saddle - Men's
Selle SMP saddles sport some pretty unique shapes and at first glance, the silhouette is quite striking and we don't blame you for questioning its comfort. You can't judge a book by its cover though, and we've sold a boatload of these saddles to cyclist and considering the amount of reorders to outfit their entire fleet, it speaks volumes to the comfort of the saddle. Two things to consider with SMP saddles are its padding level and its width, which SMP correlates to your pant size. The saddle we have here, the Men's Glider Carbon Saddle has medium padding and fits cyclist with 32-37-inch waists making it a saddle that’s a great place to start for most cyclists.
Selle SMP saddles are designed and manufactured to optimize the body's interaction with the bike, knowing that nothing kills the fun on a long ride quite like saddle discomfort. The Glider, much like the rest of the saddles in SMP's lineup has a distinctive drop nose helping relieve pressure over soft tissue regions. This design also promotes more comfort while in an aero position, since there's less pressure as you reach for the drops, letting your pelvis roll forward while maintaining a flatter back.
The rear section is slightly elevated giving you something to push against as you dole out more watts on the climb. At the center of its 136mm width, the saddle features a wide cut out helping eliminate pressure in the perineal zone. The additional benefit being that it places your weight evenly on the sit bones so you can rack up the miles in total comfort.
The saddle is built on unidirectional carbon fiber rails helping to drop the weight down quite a bit. The carbon reinforced nylon shell offers just enough flex to help soak up road vibrations while boosting its durability. Even the elastic foam padding is designed for the long haul and resists breaking down. Finally, the cover is finished in a soft, genuine leather, adding a touch of class and long-wearing durability.
Selle SMP Composit Carbon Rail Saddle - Men's
While most of the cycling world can recognize Selle SMP saddles at a glance, there's still something that's just so distinctive about their appearance. Selle didn't design the beaked nose, high back, and large central channel for no reason, after all, and while all the above are common features on Selle saddles, each has been tailored to fit specific riding styles, anatomies, and disciplines. The Composit Carbon Rail Saddle, for example, employs the same shape and materials as the SMP4BIKE series, but it ditches the foam to better suit aggressive road riders with narrow to average pelvises.
The lack of foam makes the Composit slightly less cushy, but that's not a racer's primary concern. More important are support and stiffness, which the Composit delivers via unidirectional carbon fiber rails, and an elastomer nylon and carbon composite shell. The beaked nose provides more space where you need it, and the pronounced center channel relieves pressure on other soft tissue areas so you can sit comfortably without loading up on padding. The raised "whale tail" back gives you something to push against, and the ultra-light, yet impressively strong unidirectional carbon fiber rails handle years of hard riding without getting loose or losing strength.
Ergon SM3 Saddle - Men's
The Ergon SM3 Saddle is designed with XC racing in mind, but still provides the comfort and support needed for big rides in the backcountry or all-day endurance events. The longer padded nose allows you to shift your weight forward for more comfort and control on steep climbs, while the generous relief cup removes pressure from sensitive areas when you're spending long hours in the saddle. The padding itself is designed specifically for mountain biking, absorbing small impacts and trail chatter while providing a firm platform to put power to the pedals.
Ergon designed the SM3 saddle from the ground up. The ultra-thin shell used an extensive finite element method analysis to map loads and areas of stress. This gives the saddle its distinctive shape, but more importantly, it allowed Ergon to tune the shell construction for optimized deflection. The shell is covered with progressive layers of padding that are individually tailored to the different saddle widths. Every size option gets its own layer for rider-specific compression. Adding to the SM3's trail taming is a nose mounted micro damper. This damper, located in between the shell and TiNox rails, filters out smaller vibrations. The rails are hollow to reduce weight and allow 30mm of adjustment. The SM3 also has an easy-to-clean synthetic leather cover—just wipe it off with a damp rag.
Despite Ergon being a German company and doing the design work in-house, they relied on the Italian saddle expertise of Selle Italia to manufacture this particular saddle. To size yourself for an Ergon SM3 Pro Saddle, you'll need to measure the distance between your sit bones. Widths between 9-11cm should ride a Small, 11-13cm a Medium, and 13-15cm should opt for a Large.
