Making the most of your ride:
Saddle adjustment: 4 Steps for optimal comfort
Choosing a saddle: suitable for your posture (back at 60° = special saddle).
Height: the leg needs to extend without unbalancing the pelvis.
Angle: neutral to avoid pain and the wrong pressure.
Backward/forward: knees properly aligned with the pedals.

1. Determining the saddle height (part 1):
Equipment: Tape measure, rigid book, pencil
Position: standing up, barefoot, back against a wall, feet 15 to 20 cm apart
Action: raise the book between your legs up to the perineum
Marker: mark the top of the book on the wall
Measure: from the floor to your mark = your inseam height
Essential information for choosing the right frame size.
1. Determining the saddle height (part 2):
To determine your inseam height, you need to multiply it by 0.883 = the ideal distance between the centre of the bottom bracket and the top of the saddle.
Example: 89 cm x 0.883=78.6 cm
This method is used by bike fitters for optimal positioning.
2. Adjusting the saddle angle:
A flat saddle is more comfortable!
Place a spirit level on the front of the saddle (in the centre towards the tip).
Adjust it until it is horizontal. Then tweak after a few rides until comfortable.
3. How to measure your sit-bone width
- Take two pieces of cardboard, a flat stool, a ruler and a pen.
- Place the cardboard on the stool, sit up straight and apply pressure for one minute.
- Stand up and locate the two marks.
- Connect the centres with the ruler: this is your sit-bone gap!
Handy for finding the best saddle for your personal use.
3. Adjusting the saddle setback:
How to adjust the saddle position (forward/back)
- Get on your bike against a wall mount
- Clip your shoes to the pedals
- Place the crank parallel with the ground
Look at your knee: It should be aligned with the pedal
If not, move the saddle forward or back as required.
How to choose your saddle according to your riding style
A saddle adapted to your position for guaranteed comfort.
Straight back (90°): Wide, padded saddle for greater comfort
Inclined position (60°): Versatile saddle
Low position (30°): Thin, moulded saddle to improve performance
Choosing the right saddle width
Here are some simple benchmarks:
- If the gap between your sit bones is between 90 and 120 mm, use a 145 mm saddle
- If between 120 and 140 mm, a 155 mm saddle will be more comfortable
- In a raised position (45 to 60°), choose a 155 mm saddle, even if the gap is smaller
Compatibility:
Compatible with all brands of seatpost with 7 mm rails.
Features:
270 mm x 160 mm
