Finding the perfect saddle
There are several variables that go into finding the perfect saddle, width, shape, padding, and position. Carin, our Level 2 Retul Fitter, breaks down how we can easily find the correct saddle width for your sit bones. And yes, it is completely non-invasive.
Using our Digital Sit bone Device, we use pressure mapping to determined the width of your sit bones to determine the correct width saddle. This provide the appropriate support for your body avoiding pressure on the soft tissue and preventing saddle sore and discomfort. Choosing the correct saddles is the foundation of a good fit as it is one of only three points that you touch the bike and the one that carries the most weight.
As mentioned, width is only one variable in having a comfortable ride. The position of the saddle can heavily influence comfort as well. Having a Retul Fit done to match you to your saddle and bike is the best way to ride comfortably and injury free.
