Choosing the right road bike saddle is essential for a comfortable and enjoyable ride. A well-fitting saddle will help to distribute your weight evenly, reduce pressure on your sit bones, and prevent pain and discomfort. There are a few key factors to consider when choosing a road bike saddle, including the width, shape, and padding.
The width of the saddle should be based on the width of your sit bones. To measure the width of your sit bones, sit on a piece of cardboard and trace the outline of your sit bones. The distance between the two widest points is the width of your sit bones. Once you know the width of your sit bones, you can choose a saddle that is the same width or slightly wider.
