What is important for a good sitting experience on your bike is, on the one hand, the optimal distribution of the weight on the support surface. There should be as little pressure as possible on particularly sensitive areas, such as the perineum and genital area. Ergonomic saddles meet these requirements through a special shape: the stepped saddle concept from SQ-Lab, the Mimic or Mirror technology from Specialized or the specially shaped saddles from Ergon have proven to be relieving in practice. In addition, it is important that the correct saddle width is selected so that the ischial bones rest well on the saddle. At the same time, the sides of the saddle must not limit your pedaling movements. A multitude of requirements that a standard model can only rarely meet.

Buttock pain, sores, numbness in the soft tissues and even back pain are common complaints when cycling and can have various causes. With the right model for you, these can be minimized and comfort increased. Here we rely, among other things, on the long-term research work of the ergonomics specialists at SQ-Lab. The German company is successful with its products worldwide thanks to extensive research and measurements in collaboration with doctors, engineers and test drivers.

Modern seat posts do more than just hold the seat to the frame. On the one hand, suspended models can dampen vibrations on bumpy surfaces and thus reduce the pressure on the entire body. In addition, remote-controlled adjustable seat posts make it easier to optimally adapt to the needs of the body and the route at any time. The Californian manufacturer Fox Racing, for example, is leading the way here. It offers both mechanically and hydraulically adjustable seat posts, which are controlled via a remote unit on the handlebars. The advantage is obvious: mountain bikers can adjust the saddle height with one hand while riding without dismounting, for example at the beginning or end of a steep downhill section. The remote control cables can be laid neatly inside the frame if it is prepared accordingly. In addition to the multi-stage ones, particularly comfortable, infinitely adjustable seat posts are also available

Of course, even pressure distribution also depends on the choice of suitable support and cushioning material. Some manufacturers work with special gel pads in the area of ​​the ischial bones. In other places, ultra-modern seat foam can be the optimal solution for your sitting position. The variety of options allows us to recommend a suitable model for every body type and every driving style.
