What do you guys recomend for a saddle. I am getting a new road bike and I am looking into a new saddle. Right now I have a tri saddle on my TT so I am looking for a road specific saddle. I know were all different but just curious at the popular brands and models you guys like.
Hello ryan, A saddle good for me, is not also necessary good for you, anatomical profile are different one by one. Saddle, like your shoes,...if you can, TRY IT! 😉
Saddles have two key attributes: shape and material. I think shape trumps material in the long run. It's very important where the saddle fits against your bones. I use the Selle Italia SLR. It looks very uncomfortable, but in fact is very comfortable because it fits well. I think they could make it out of hard plastic with no covering at all and it would still be comfortable. You don't sit on a saddle, you "perch" on it.
