IT ISN'T ALWAYS THE WRONG SADDLE!
The wrong saddle or the right saddle in the wrong position can ruin a bike ride. More importantly it can also lead to health issues such as lower back pain, saddle sores and numbness of the soft tissue around the pubic bone. These problems normally arise when your weight is not evenly balanced on your saddle or supported through your pelvis.
An uncomfortable saddle also has knock on effects to the rest of your cycling position. "Bike fits" typically only require you to be in the saddle for short periods of time, so the soreness, hotspots and numbness don’t have time to build up to noticeable levels. This can lead to you being put into a position that, whilst fine in the fit studio, is a different story once you are out on a longer ride, exacerbated by road vibrations.
WORLD LEADING PRESSURE MAPPING TECHNOLOGY
By using our pressure mapping system, it is possible to analyse your personal saddle pressure dispersion, to ensure that your saddle starts comfortable and remains that way. Once we have found a saddle that suits your anatomy we fit it to your bike and optimise your comfort on the saddle, by adjusting its height, angle and fore-aft position, using our motion capture system and the pressure mapping hardware.
A session typically lasts an hour depending on your requirements, at a rate of £100/hr
THE SECRET SADDLE CLUB
After more than 15 years of concentrated experience with custom saddles in cycling, after more than 50,000 analyses of our saddle pressure mappings with thousands and thousands of cyclists whom we have put more comfortably on their bicycles with our bike fittings, we present you our gebioMized saddle line.
MODELS
SLEAK
As the first choice for cyclists on the hunt for the best performance, the Sleak is primarily aimed at cyclists that ride with the load on the pubic bone and athletes with narrow pelvis shapes. Available in widths of 135 and 145 mm.
AREA
The new gebioMized Area, especially developed for cyclists who mainly ride with a load on their ischium, focuses entirely on comfort. Available in widths of 145 and 155 mm, so that even athletes with larger sit bone distances “get their money’s worth”.
FEATURES
Shape matters! Sleak and Area are available in two different shapes:
-
The V-shape is particularly suitable for athletes who ride with pressure on the saddle nose and in the middle area.
-
The T-shape offers optimal legroom when the rider’s load accumulates on the rear of the saddle.
Channel or cut-out: which version would you like? Sleak and Area are available in two versions in both V- and T-shape:
-
As a cut-out version for cyclists in search of maximum “pressure relief”
-
As a channel version for riders who are looking for a larger contact area.
