Information on Size Selection

Letter Significance

• S or L indicate the saddle width, guided by the intertrochanteric distance (the distance between the ischial bones of the pelvis).
• Size S: narrow distance, for individuals with a value under 120 mm
• Size L: wide distance, for individuals with a value over 120 mm
• If you already know the width of your ischial bones from a medical visit or bike fitting, you can easily find the right saddle width for you. If not, we recommend contacting an idmatch center.

Number Significance

• Numbers 1, 2, and 3 indicate the presence or absence of a cutout in the saddle, guided by pelvic rotation/flexibility.
• 1: indicates a closed saddle, i.e., no cutout.
• 2: indicates a smaller cutout called "Flow."
• 3: indicates the presence of a large cutout, known as "Superflow."
• Less flexible individuals can use size 1, as well as sizes 2 and 3. Conversely, it is not recommended for flexible individuals to use a saddle without a cutout.
