For a 90° position (straight back), choose a wide, gel-padded saddle, ideal for comfort. For a 60° position (versatility), a medium saddle offers a good compromise between comfort and sportiness. Finally, for a 30° position (performance), opt for a thin saddle with a narrow nose, designed to reduce pressure and improve pedalling efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible with all brands of seat posts with 7 mm rails.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCHOOSING YOUR SADDLE WIDTH\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 143 mm wide saddle will be suitable if the width between your ischial bones is between 90 and 120 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e290 mm x 143 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR BIKE RIDE:\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdjusting the saddle is essential to be comfortable while cycling. First, choose a model that suits your posture (for example, a 30° tilted back). Adjust the height for a natural leg extension, then the angle to avoid any pain. Finally, adjust the fore and aft to align your knees with the pedals. For complete comfort, suitable cycling shorts are also recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e1. DETERMINING THE SADDLE HEIGHT (part 1)\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo find the perfect bike size, measure your inseam height. You'll need a tape measure, a hard-cover notebook, and a pencil. Stand with your back against a wall, barefoot, with your feet 15–20 cm apart and your heels against the wall. Place the book between your legs, raise it high into the perineum and mark a small mark on the wall at the top of the book. Measure the distance between this mark and the floor. This measurement is crucial for choosing the right bike size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e3. Adjust the saddle setback\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoving the saddle forwards or backwards: why is it important? A good adjustment will help you avoid any pain and pedal more efficiently. Sit on your bike, leaning against a wall. Attach your shoes to the pedals and place the crank arm in a horizontal position. Look at your knee: The front of your knee should be in line with the pedal. Too far forward? Move the saddle slightly back. Too far back? Move it slightly forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWatch the tutorial video to measure the width between the ischial bones:\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can also watch our tutorial video which will explain all the steps described above: https:\/\/players.brightcove.net\/3415345270001\/DOHosj6Wy_default\/index.html?videoId=ref:p2575062_1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e2. SADDLE TILT ADJUSTMENT\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe saddle angle is also important! To adjust it properly, you'll need a spirit level. Place it on the front of the saddle, between the centre and the tip, and adjust it until it is perfectly flat. Then, try it out on a few bike rides. It's normal to adjust it slightly over time: The most important thing is to be comfortable when pedalling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e1. DETERMINING THE SADDLE HEIGHT (part 2)\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow do you know what height to adjust the saddle to? It's simple: Take the measurement between the ground and the top of the book, then multiply it by 0.883. For example, if you measured 89 cm, this makes 78.6 cm. This is the distance you should have between the centre of the bottom bracket and the top of the saddle. You don't need to be a professional to adjust your bike, just follow this method.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal for road and gravel cycling, as well as XC mountain biking with its wide and ergonomic design suitable for all body types.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item large--one-half medium--one-half productFeature productFeature--easy-to-breathe\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"grid--full\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item one-fifth productFeature-icon\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"productFeature-image\" src=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/contents.mediadecathlon.com\/b65338\/pic.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item four-fifths productFeature-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"productFeature-title\"\u003eSitting comfort\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"productFeature-description\"\u003eErgonomic seat for better pressure distribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item large--one-half medium--one-half productFeature productFeature--easy-to-breathe\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"grid--full\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item one-fifth productFeature-icon\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"productFeature-image\" src=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/contents.mediadecathlon.com\/b65379\/pic.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item four-fifths productFeature-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"productFeature-title\"\u003eAnatomic design\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"productFeature-description\"\u003eThe central part relieves pressure on the perineum.
