When you think about comfort on a bike, the first component you consider is the saddle, a fundamental element to ensure a comfortable posture and pedaling for many miles.
The saddle, along with the handlebars and pedals, is one of the points of contact between the bike and the rider and, depending on the position of the rider, can also be the object that bears most of the weight of the biker. For this reason it is essential to have both a strong seatpost and a comfortable saddle.
The position of the saddle determines the forward posture in racing bikes and more upright in city bikes. The position of the saddle, finally, affects the efficiency of pedaling and the physical effort to make the movement.
It is up to the cyclist, therefore, to understand if the saddle already mounted on the bike is suitable for his body or if it is necessary to buy a new one.
Most saddles have a tapered shape: the front part is narrower so as to allow the cyclist to move his legs freely while the rear part, wider, guarantees the right support for the pelvis and ischial bones.
To choose the saddle that best suits your needs, it is essential to take into account the width of your pelvis and make sure you choose a model that can support it adequately.
Fizik saddles stand out for the quality of the materials used, such as carbon fiber, they are light and comfortable and guarantee high-level performance both on the road and on dirt roads.
The models on the market are:
Fizik racing saddles: tapered and rigid with carbon fiber body (high range). The coating is thin and not too cushioning so as to reduce the weight of the saddle. To increase even more the lightness some models are without suspensions.
Fizik mountain bike saddles: the vibrations and the shocks that a mountain bike has to bear are much more intense compared to road/gravel bikes. The Fizik saddles for MTB are more robust, have a less tapered shape, a higher and more deformable padding so as to better absorb the vibrations coming from the ground.
Mtb saddles, compared to racing saddles, are mounted in a more sloping position at the front because mountain bikers tend to ride very out-of-saddle on some stretches.
On Pro-M Store you can find a wide range of Fizik saddles for road and mtb bikes such as the Terra Argo X5 saddle, perfect to be mounted on Gravel bikes, the Fizik Vento Argo R1 "short nose" saddle for greater stability while pedaling and the Tempo Argo R5 "short nose" saddle, versatile and stable that relieves pressure in the soft tissue area.
