If your saddle doesn't fit, even short off-road rides can be very uncomfortable, let alone those lasting many hours. But one thing's for sure: there's a suitable saddle for every mountain biker. When searching for the perfect saddle, take into account the following factors: what kind of riding do you do? Are you more of a downhill rider or more into CX? Do you sit upright or more stretched out on the bike? How far apart are your sit bones? How heavy are you? If you're serious about mountain biking, it's worthwhile getting a bike fit. Experienced riders, on the other hand, know exactly which saddle is right for them. There are numerous tips on the internet for determining the distance between your sit bones. Once you've measured this, you're one step closer to finding your perfect saddle.
