Road/MTB cycling saddle Light 145 mm unisex

Description

We have designed this road and MTB cycling saddle to suit both male and female cyclists. 1. TESTS CARRIED OUT WITH DECATHLON SPORTSLAB This saddle is available in two different sizes: 145 mm and 155 mm. We have carried out tests in collaboration with our research and development laboratory: Decathlon Sportslab. The aim of this study was to be able to recommend the appropriate saddle size based on the distance between the sit bones for both men and women who cycle several times a week. 2. HOW TO CHOOSE THE SADDLE WIDTH? For a sit bone width between 90 and 120 mm, a 145 mm saddle is preferable. For a sit bone width between 120 and 140 mm, a 155 mm saddle is preferable. If you have a more upright position on the bike (with a back angle between 45° and 60°), you can opt for the wider 155 mm saddle. This will make your rides less uncomfortable. 3. HOW TO MEASURE THE WIDTH OF THE SIT BONES? Materials needed: 2 pieces of corrugated cardboard, a stool (with a flat surface), a ruler, a pen. 1. Place the corrugated cardboard pieces on top of each other. 2. Sit on the stool with your back straight. Then, apply force to the stool by pulling upwards for 1 minute. 3. Stand up and mark the points that represent the imprint of your sit bones on the cardboard. 4. Identify the center of these two imprints and draw a line connecting both points.

To enjoy your rides, remember to wear cycling shorts suitable for their duration. Here are the instructions for setting up the bike: https://players.brightcove.net/3415345270001/DOHosj6Wy_default/index.html?videoId=ref:p2263569_1 1. DETERMINING THE SADDLE HEIGHT (part 1) Materials needed: a tape measure, a book, and a pencil. a. Stand up, barefoot, with your feet against the wall. Place your feet slightly apart (max. 15 to 20 cm) with your heels touching the wall. Look straight ahead. b. Then, place the book against the wall and slide it between your legs up to the perineum: apply some force to imitate the pressure of the saddle. 1. DETERMINING THE SADDLE HEIGHT (part 2) c. Measure the distance from the top of the book to the floor and transfer this measurement to your bike. Then, multiply the value obtained by 0.883.
