Guys vs. Gals - do you need a different saddle?

HOME    SHOP    DEALS

We all know men and women are built differently - especially in that area of the body that makes contact with a bike saddle. This may lead you to assume that gender specific saddles are necessary. However, scientific research has proven this simply is not the case.

The key to comfort in the saddle is a saddle sized to your sit bones distance. Since this distance is not gender specific, neither should your saddle be gender specific. SQlab's revolutionary fit kit measurement helps you determine the perfect fit for YOUR sit bones - whether you're a male or a female. Get your FREE Fit Kit

OK, the sensitve areas ARE different between men and women. For men, pain often comes from too much pressure on the soft tissue, or the goods. For women, pain often comes from contact between the saddle nose and the lower female pubic arch. The SQlab step saddle design, with a lower saddle nose, solves both problems. As always, the proof is in the pressure map.

With a flat saddle pressure is placed on the pubic arch, instead of the sit bones, leading to pain. The lower saddle nose of the step saddle means the pressure is where it should be - on the sit bones.

Too much pressure on the soft tissue results in numbness for males. The step saddle places the pressure on the sit bones, giving relief for soft tissue.

The good news? See a saddle you like? Male or female it will work for you. SHOP SADDLES
