❓1. How to choose the right shape of Saddle according to my body type?

  • Measuring the sit bone distance : the width of the Saddle must match your pelvis.
  • Saddle flat → more freedom of movement, ideal for XC and dynamic positions.
  • Saddle curved → better support, recommended for long outings.
  • Shorter or wider nose → useful for steep climbs or enduro/trail.

❓2. What materials and padding should be preferred?

  • Coating : microfiber or faux leather for durability; non-slip textures on technical terrain.

  • Padding :
    Farm → precision and efficiency (XC).
    Soft or gel → comfort over long distances.

  • Rails :
    Steel → robust and economical.
    Titanium → light + good vibration filtering.
    Carbon → ultra light and rigid (performance use).

❓3. How to optimize comfort with the right settings?

  • Tilt : neutral or very slightly downwards to limit the pressure.
  • Retreat : influences pedaling and posture.
  • Height : precise adjustment is essential to avoid knee/lower back pain.
  • Central cutout : reduces perineal pressure, very useful if sensitive or over long distances.

❓4. What Saddle choose according to my practice MTB ?

  • XC/Marathon :
    Saddle light, rather flat, padding farm, titanium or carbon rails.
    Freedom of movement + pedaling efficiency.

  • Trail / All-Mountain :
