Is Your Saddle Helping You—or Hurting You?
by BiSaddle
The most underrated piece of equipment on your bike is the saddle. Every rider’s sit-bone width, pelvic rotation, and soft-tissue sensitivity are different. An adjustable saddle allows you to fine-tune width, angle, and pressure distribution so it supports your sit bones instead of compressing soft tissue. Even small adjustments in width or shape can significantly reduce perineal pressure, numbness, and hot spots. Traditional saddles are a common cause of pain, including numbness, discomfort, saddle sores, erectile dysfunction (ED), and soft-tissue damage. Everyone has different tolerance levels, but one fact is universal: proper blood flow is essential for both comfort and performance. Research shows that 1 in 2 cyclists will experience sexual dysfunction, and 58–70% report genital numbness. Traditional bike seats drastically reduce blood flow to the sexual organs, and chronic compression of arteries, veins, and nerves can lead to serious long-term health problems. An adjustable saddle eliminates much of the trial-and-error frustration of testing multiple fixed saddles. Instead of buying and swapping out several models, one adjustable saddle can adapt to different setups—especially valuable if you ride more than one bike or your fit changes over time. BiSaddle is the only saddle in the world with fully adjustable, customizable technology. It is designed to keep you comfortable, centered, and supported, while improving power transfer and efficiency on the bike. With BiSaddle, you’re in control—able to dial in your personal “sweet spot” for performance, comfort, and injury prevention.
