Information on size selection

Meaning of the letter

• S or L indicate the saddle width, and the choice between the two depends on the intertrochanteric distance (between the ischial bones of the pelvis).
• Size S: Narrow distance, for people with a value of less than 120 mm
• Size L: Large distance, for people with a value greater than 120 mm
• If you have already identified your ischial width during a medical visit or a bike fitting, you can easily find the saddle width that suits you best. If you haven't taken any measurements, we recommend contacting an idmatch center.

Meaning of the number

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