Finding the right saddle

A saddle must match the width of your sit bones so that your weight rests on them and not on the soft tissue. Many Selle Italia saddles have a cut-out or a channel in the middle that is meant to reduce pressure in the perineal area.

Your riding position also matters: if you sit upright, you usually need a wider saddle than someone in a stretched-out position.

Tip: Give a new saddle a few rides. Your body needs a little time to adjust.
