For a 90° position (back straight), choose a wide, gel-padded saddle, ideal for comfort.\n\nFor a 60° position (versatility), a medium saddle offers a good compromise between comfort and sportiness.\n\nFinally, for a 30° position (performance), choose a thin saddle with a narrow nose, designed to reduce pressure and improve pedalling efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCHOOSING YOUR SADDLE WIDTH\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 143 mm wide saddle will be suitable if the width between your ischial bones is between 90 and 120 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWatch this video tutorial on how to measure the width between your ischial bones:\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can also watch our tutorial video which will explain all the steps described above: https:\/\/players.brightcove.net\/3415345270001\/DOHosj6Wy_default\/index.html?videoId=ref:p2575062_1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR BIKE RIDE:\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdjusting your saddle is essential to be comfortable when cycling. First choose a model which is suitable to your posture (for example, a back inclined at 30°).\nAdjust the height for a natural extension of the leg, then the angle to avoid any pain.\nFinally, adjust the advance and offset to align your knees with the pedals. For complete comfort, suitable cycling shorts are also recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e 1. DETERMINING SADDLE HEIGHT (part 1)\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo find the perfect bike size, measure the height of your inside leg. You will need a tape measure, a hardback book and a pencil.\nStand with your back against the wall, barefoot and with your feet slightly apart (15-20 cm), heels against the wall. Place the book between your legs, lift it up to your perineum and mark a slight mark on the wall at the top of the book.\nMeasure the distance between this mark and the floor. This measurement is vital for choosing the right size of bike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e 1. DETERMINING SADDLE HEIGHT (part 2)\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow to know at what height to adjust your saddle?\nIt's simple:take the measurement between the ground and the top of the book, then multiply by 0.883.\nFor example, if you measured 89 cm, that makes 78.6 cm.\nThis is the distance you must have between the centre of the bottom bracket and the top of the saddle.\nNo need to be a pro to adjust your bike, just follow this method.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e2. ADJUSTING THE SADDLE INCLINE\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe angle of the saddle is also important!\nTo adjust it correctly, you will need a spirit level.\nPlace it at the front of the saddle, between the centre and the tip, and adjust until it is completely flat.\nThen, try it out on several bike rides. It is normal to adjust it a little over time: the most important thing is to be at ease when pedalling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e3. Adjust the saddle offset\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoving the saddle forwards or backwards: why is it important?\nA good adjustment will help you to avoid any pains and to pedal more effectively.\nSit on your bike, leant against a wall.\nAttach your shoes to the pedals, and put the crank in a horizontal position.\nLook at your knee:the front of the knee must be in line with the pedal.\nToo far forwards? Move the saddle back a bit. Too far back? Move it forwards a bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal for road and gravel cycling as well as XC MTB with its wide, ergonomic design suitable for all body types.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item large--one-half medium--one-half productFeature productFeature--easy-to-breathe\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"grid--full\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item one-fifth productFeature-icon\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"productFeature-image\" src=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/contents.mediadecathlon.com\/b65338\/pic.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item four-fifths productFeature-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"productFeature-title\"\u003eSitting comfort\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"productFeature-description\"\u003eErgonomic seat for better distribution of pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item large--one-half medium--one-half productFeature productFeature--easy-to-breathe\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"grid--full\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item one-fifth productFeature-icon\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"productFeature-image\" src=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/contents.mediadecathlon.com\/b65379\/pic.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item four-fifths productFeature-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"productFeature-title\"\u003eAnatomic design\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"productFeature-description\"\u003eThe central part relieves pressure on the perineum.
