    The Width Story

    A saddle should do more than simply protect you from your seatpost. Like shoes, gloves and other gear you depend on, it should fit. Perfectly.

    Until now, saddle width had been determined by little more than an educated guess based on myriad opinions and a few calluses. But physiology makes it clear that it does not, and should not, have to be this way: different riders, even those with identical waist sizes and weights, can have different sit bone width measurements. Thinner saddles are not always best for the peleton’s svelte, just as a sprinter does not necessarily require a wider saddle due to broader musculature. There is one primary determinant of proper saddle width: the distance between the ischial tuberosities (a.k.a. “sit bones”):

    Related to this is rider position: as a rider rolls forward into a more aggressive aero position, the sit bone placement tapers closer together. As a result, a more comfortable endurance position requires a slightly wider saddle than a faster, more aero position would require.

    So without dimensions like waist measurement available as a reliable way to determine sit bone width, and because perceived comfort is a poor substitution for a measured fit, we developed the Body Geometry Saddle Fit System to provide an easy way to accurately measure your actual sit bone width. Once you’ve been measured, try either of our two all new racing saddle designs, the Alias and the Avatar. Each is available in 3 widths to ensure a perfect fit, based on your actual measurements and preferred riding position.
