New Saddles in the LAB!   

German company SQ Lab takes a scientific approach and tests its saddles for pressure and comfort.  We now have their Ergowave Active 612 line in the lab, with a unique cushioning system that lets you choose your cushioning level on each saddle.  

We've added the entire IDmatch system from Selle Italia, whose saddles we've long admired.  Try their SLR saddles for light weight, Flite saddles for a little more cushioning, and women's-specific models.  Flow saddles have a cutout for great genital relief and prevention of numbness.

Cobb Cycling has been one of our favorites for years.  Now renamed "Speed and Comfort," they've added new road saddles (Tenace and San Remo) that are a little slimmer in the nose, but retain both a cutout and enough rear width for stability.  We think these new saddles will be hits!

Shimano's PRO line is looking awesome, with the new Stealth.  The Stealth takes cues from the Specialized Power, with light weight at an even lower price point.

VO2 cycling has entered the market with a revolutionary saddle shape.  For a unique experience guaranteed to relieve perineal pressure, numbness, and pain, try their Evolve.

German firm SQ Lab tests saddles for pressure and comfort.  SQ Ergowave Active saddles have a pressure-relief section; a deep center depression to prevent numbness; and a shock-absorber under the saddle, with three interchangeable (soft/ medium/firm) inserts.  Multipe widths (130, 140, 150, 160).   One of the most comfortable road/race saddles we have tested!

BiSADDLE - The geniuses at BiSaddle have come up with a solution for hard-to-fit butts: a FULLY ADJUSTABLE BIKE SADDLE!! The BiSaddle can be made wider or narrower, with separate front and rear adjustments; and inserts to change from flat to semi-round to rounded.  This saddle is a marvel, especially for triathletes looking for just the right nose width.  Now available in two lengths: SRT (very short) and EXT (long), as well as EXT-Sprint with slimmer mid-taper.  To make BiSaddle demos available, rentals are $5 extra; to test it with the full insert kit, a $100 deposit is required, which is refunded after we receive the saddle (and all parts) back.

Ergon is another smart German company with the new SR Pro Women's (and men's) road saddle.  This saddle has already been a hit with females looking for just enough rear support, a generous central cutout, and plenty of leg freedom.

The bike fit scientists at German company Gebiomized have created a new line of saddles based on their saddle pressure mapping system.  Using thousands of maps as a guide, they now have the Stride TT/Triathlon saddle, as well as Sleak and Area road saddles.  Stride has a split nose, but is narrower than ISM saddles: it allows complete freedom of motion and ideal aerobar posture.  The Sleak is a V-shaped road saddle, more traditional design with a strategic cut-out.  The Area is a T-shaped saddle: wider in the rear but still slim in front for leg clearance.

VO2 Evolve - Very few saddles relieve central pressure, numbness, or blood supply compromise better than the new Evolve 2.2 series from VO2.  We are one of the first to offer VO2, which is a life-saver (or at least a genital-saver) for many triathletes and roadies.  Our demo saddle has 1" thick foam with medium-soft padding, but there are other models: 0.6" padding, firmer foam, softer foam, and the shorter/wider 2.1 model.  See their research here: https://v-o2.com/health-science/

The experts at Speed and Comfort, led by John Cobb, have solved many saddle problems for both genders.  With their experience in road and triathlon racing and endurance, they have developed their latest masterpiece, the Delta 38.  This saddle retains all the great features of the 55-series (Type 5) saddle, but in a narrower profile with a 38mm nose.  Smooth sides and good padding make this a saddle for all types of riding!
