We have saddles for every kind of ride & every kind of riders! Whether you’re a gravel rider, a road rider or a bikepacker – we’ve got a saddle for you.
Need a quick breakdown of what the difference is between all of these is?
We got you!
Firstly we have rubber topped & foam bike seats – these are your Cambium’s from Brooks & your Ergon brand bike seats.
Then there’s the Leather Saddles from Brooks. Now it’s open to interpretation which of these is more comfortable. Because everyone is different of course. But there is most definitely a cult following for leather bike seats. And this is because they mould & conform to your body over time. But the downside on these is that they are heavier than a rubber or foam version.
Next is the width of the saddle. A wider surface area suits a more upright riding position. And a narrower one suits a more aggressive position like on a road bike.
Next we have gender specific saddles in the Ergon range and the Short version from Brooks. Shorter and wider saddles are traditionally marketed to women as a more comfortable solution. And definitely a shorter nose on the seat is ideal for a smaller sized bike or a step-through bike. You will just have more room in the frame with a shorter bike seat.
And then there’s cut-outs otherwise known as Carved versions. This gives added pressure relief, and works for a lot of people who have painful experiences on bikes.
