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.

Terry Bicycles Butterfly Carbon Saddle - Women's

In 1985, upon introducing a women's specific bicycle frame design to the industry, Georgena Terry created a company destined to become a household name among women cyclists throughout the world. True to her passion for 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 the line of saddles has grown exponentially, the Butterfly Carbon Saddle retains all of the characteristics embodied in the original Butterfly that is loved the world over. 

The original women's saddle, the Butterfly, was designed in 1999. While it has gone through revisions over the years, the basic design and profile have remained the same. There are now several versions of the Butterfly each one with unique features.

Terry's Butterfly Carbon Saddle was placed on Carbon rails. Unique to the saddle is the oval shape of the rails. They measure 9.6mm high by 7mm wide. This shape provides extra durability and stiffness. The carbon rails also make it the lightest of all the Butterfly saddles. The base is the same multi-density injection molded foam featured in the entire Butterfly line placing stiffer padding over the paddles and softer foam along the full length channel and cut-out to relieve pressure against soft tissue areas. Additionally, a thin layer of gel is laid over the padding for a little extra comfort during long rides.

Covered in real leather with an embossed butterfly pattern, the saddle is sure to turn heads perched on your prized steed.

The Terry Butterfly Carbon Saddle measures 262mm long by 155mm wide at the paddle. It weighs 218grams and is available in the color Black.

Syncros XR1.5 Saddle - Women's

If you like the feel and low weight of Syncros' XR1.0 saddles but aren't as enamored with the higher price, consider Syncros' XR1.5 Women's Saddle. With the same women's-specific shape and race-ready weight, the saddle is constructed with hollow titanium rails instead of carbon to absorb vibrations as you crush through rock gardens and pedal over gravel. Though heavier than its pricier counterpart, titanium is less delicate, and it doesn't require you to use a torque wrench when making adjustments like carbon does.

Aside from the titanium rails, the carbon-injected nylon base and light layer of PU cushioning on the XR1.5 are both the same as those featured on the XR1.0, so you'll gain the same comfort over long days on the trails without sacrificing overall efficiency. The soft microfiber cover around the saddle will resist wear from the elements over time, and a female-specific pressure-relief channel down the center of the XR1.5 encourages healthy circulation and support where you need it while riding. As with many of its other saddles, Syncros offers the XR1.5 in two width options to make sure riders aren't forced to settle with one standard size.

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.

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

Fizik, though known for its lithe, minimalist silhouettes and luxe materials, bestows equal attention on the construction of its cycling wares as it does on their aesthetics, and the Fizik Women's Luce Carbon Saddle was no exception. Revisiting issues like weight distribution and leg positioning, Fizik used an entirely new design to create the Luce, with a wide carbon-reinforced nylon shell that distributes weight evenly over the sit bones for a saddle that delivers comfort without sacrificing functionality.

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. 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-dampening 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.

Ergon SM Sport Gel Saddle - Women's

Take on the trail with power, confidence, and most importantly — comfort, with the Ergon SM Sport Gel Saddle on your side. This women's specific saddle is designed for the rowdiest enduro days, all-mountain shred fests, and longer tours, thanks to its large gel pads that absorb vibrations from the trail. The center features a cutout throughout your most sensitive anatomy, designed to alleviate pressure on punchy climbs and through brake-bump laden descents. In back the saddle features a flat section that allows you to move freely and get behind the seat on steep descents with minimal hangup. To top it all off the saddle is equipped with a microfiber cover, and reduced-friction flanks to allow quick position changes through variable terrain.

Terry Bicycles FLX Gel Saddle - Women's

Professional women racers often prefer lighter weight, less padded saddles than recreational riders. Terry Bicycles sponsored a women's road cycling team for many years and through their collaboration with riders designed a saddle that is perfect for the most pedal-happy, die-hard racer out there. The FLX series is the latest in Terry Bicycles' saddle design featuring a unique shape and lighter weight. The FLX Gel is an intermediate between the softer Butterfly and the stiffer FLX Carbon. 

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 gel is a narrower 142mm.

Many riders prefer a bit of cushioning when choosing a saddle. Terry's saddles feature varying degrees of cushioning to provide support for sit bones as well as appropriate relief for soft tissue areas.The FLX gel is not an un-padded saddle. It features a light layer of gel over the multi-density foam base. This layer helps to cushion sit bones that may not be accustomed to hours and hours in the saddle.

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. Unlike saddles that feature a rounded shape as well as a separate cut-out, the full length channel of the FLX provides pressure relief for tissue between the sit bones as well as for sensitive areas near the nose of the saddle.

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 and it weighs 258 grams. 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.

Juliana Primiero Saddle - Women's

Lady posteriors are different than dude posteriors, so a saddle that's made for guys won't work as well for gals. Obvious? Maybe, but the Juliana Primiero Women's Saddle is somehow still one of the women's-specific MTB saddles on the market. Made with a wider shape than men's saddles, the Primiero is designed to support women's sit bones, but it's not so wide that it will interfere with your pedaling and movement in the saddle. The flex-tuned composite shell flexes to save your sensitive bits from getting banged up, but is stiff enough to support aggressive pedaling, and low-profile padding offers gentle cushioning where you need it. An anatomical center channel helps reduce pressure, chromoly rails keep it locked on to your seat post, and the Kevlar-reinforced cover is smooth, sleek, and seriously durable.

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.

Brooks England Flyer S Saddle - Women's

Selle Royal Forum Moderate 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. 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, first races, and your speedy new frame.

Astute Italia Miss Lite VT Saddle - Women's

Designed to be as lightweight as possible, the Astute Italia Miss Lite VT Saddle shaves 25 grams from the Miss Line VT Saddle it's modeled after, thanks to the addition of full carbon rails. The female-specific round shape and center channel help to relieve pressure when you're pushing out watts while training and racing.

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.

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.

WTB Deva Pro Saddle - Women's

Trading out the titanium rails of its more expensive counterpart, the Deva Team for more price-conscious chromoly, WTB's Deva Pro Saddle blends the comfort you expect in a long-mile saddle with the affordability to have some cash left over for all-important snacks. Like the Team, the Deva Pro features a recessed center channel that relieves pressure on sensitive tissues as well as WTB's DNA padding. This padding conforms to your anatomy almost like memory foam to further relieve pressure points and increase comfort. Its durable microfiber cover resists scuffs and abrasion, while minimal graphics make let this saddle fit aesthetically with nearly any bike.

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.

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.
