What makes a men's saddle?
A men's saddle is characterised by a rather narrow shape that allows for optimal pressure distribution on the sit bones. The long nose towards the front is also a typical feature of a men's saddle. Another important feature of a men's saddle is the relief channel that runs out to the rear. This is particularly important to protect sensitive areas in the genital region. The channel prevents a feeling of pressure or numbness. This means that you can remain seated comfortably and avoid pain even on longer distances.
The right men's saddle for every cycling discipline
Whether you ride a road bike, off-road or gravel, there are special men's saddles for every cycling discipline. A road bike saddle for men is usually particularly light and narrow. It enables optimal power transmission and is comfortable to ride even at high speeds. An MTB men's saddle, on the other hand, is usually somewhat wider and robustly built. The focus here is on off-road suitability. There are special men's saddles for gravel riding that are a combination of road bike and MTB saddles. They are robust enough for off-road use, but also light enough for long distances on the road.
