Designs optimised for different width pelvic bones, riding styles and riding positions
Retail staff trained to expertly match saddles to riders
Test program allows customers to try before they buy
Baggy shorts or hydration pack straps can catch on V-shaped cut out at the rear of the saddles on very steep, technical terrain.
