How to choose a bicycle saddle?
A bicycle saddle is one of the most important components that directly affects riding comfort and the overall riding experience. A properly chosen saddle determines whether a ride will be pleasant and comfortable or quickly become tiring. Although appearance may seem important, it should not be the main criterion – far more important is how the saddle supports the body and distributes weight while riding.
When choosing a saddle, it is essential to consider your riding style and seating position. For a more sporty position, such as road cycling or MTB riding, narrower and firmer saddles designed for a forward-leaning posture are usually preferred. Meanwhile, for city or leisure riding, where the rider sits more upright, wider and softer saddles that provide greater support are generally more suitable.
Riding comfort is also enhanced by modern solutions such as memory foam padding, ergonomic saddle shapes, or pressure-relief channels. These features help reduce discomfort during longer rides and provide greater stability in various conditions.
The range includes saddles for men, women, and youth, adapted to different anatomies. Trusted manufacturers such as “Specialized”, “Fizik”, “PRO”, and “Selle Royal” offer proven solutions for a variety of needs. When choosing a saddle, it is recommended to pay attention to its width, shape, and riding position – the right choice can significantly improve comfort and allow you to enjoy every ride.
It is also important to remember that even the best saddle will not perform at its best without proper cycling apparel. High-quality cycling shorts with good padding and chamois cream help reduce friction, protect the skin, and further enhance comfort during longer rides.
For even more precise results, Velonova offers sit bone measurement and a saddle fitting service, which helps select the correct saddle width and shape based on the individual rider’s anatomy.
Yes. A saddle that is too soft can cause more discomfort over time than a firmer one, as the body sinks in more, increasing pressure and friction. The right level of firmness depends on riding duration, riding style, and seating position.
Not always. Wider saddles are generally better suited for a more upright riding position, such as on city bikes. In a sporty riding position, a saddle that is too wide may restrict movement and cause discomfort.
Many saddles require a break-in period. The body needs time to adapt to a new shape, so the first rides do not always reflect the saddle’s true comfort.
Yes. Pelvic anatomy differs, so saddles may vary in width, shape, or include additional pressure-relief features. These differences help reduce discomfort during longer rides.
A properly selected saddle that matches your seating position and riding style significantly reduces pressure and friction, helping to prevent pain and fatigue even on longer distances.
