Size selection information

Meaning of the letter

• S or L indicates the saddle's width, guided by the intertrochanteric distance (between the ischial bones of the pelvis).
• Size S: narrow distance, for individuals with a value below 120 mm
• Size L: large distance, for individuals with a value above 120 mm
• If you have already identified your ischial width during a medical visit or bike fitting, you can easily find the saddle width that suits you best. If you haven't measured, we recommend contacting one of the idmatch centers.

Meaning of the number

• Numbers 1, 2, and 3 indicate the presence or absence of a cut-out in the saddle, guided by pelvic rotation/flexibility. For those with excellent pelvic rotation, size 3 is recommended, while for others, it reduces to size 1.
• 1: indicates a closed saddle, meaning no cut-out.
• 2: indicates a smaller cut-out called "Flow."
• 3: indicates the presence of the so-called "Superflow" cut-out (the largest).
• Stiffer individuals can use size 1, but also 2 and 3. Conversely, it is not recommended for a flexible individual to use a saddle without a cut-out.
