Selle Fizik

When thinking about cycling comfort, the first component that catches the eye is the saddle, a crucial element for ensuring a comfortable posture and pedaling, even over many kilometers.The saddle, along with the handlebars and pedals, is one of the points of contact between the rider and the biker and, depending on the riding position, can also be the object that supports the majority of the biker's weight. For this reason, it is essential to have both a sturdy seat post and a comfortable saddle. The position of the saddle, relative to the handlebars and pedals, also determines the forward posture on racing bikes and the more upright posture on city bikes. Finally, the saddle position affects pedaling efficiency and the physical effort required to complete the movement. It is therefore up to the cyclist to determine whether the saddle already mounted on the bike is suitable for their body or whether a new one is needed. Most saddles have a tapered shape: the front is narrower to allow the cyclist to move their legs freely, while the wider rear provides proper support for the pelvis and sit bones. To choose the saddle that best suits your needs, it's essential to consider the width of your pelvis and make sure you choose a model that can support it adequately. FIZIK SADDLE MODELS Fizik saddles are distinguished by the quality of the materials used, such as carbon fiber. They are lightweight and comfortable, and guarantee high-level performance both on the road and off-road. The models available on the market are: Fizik racing saddles: tapered and rigid with a carbon fiber body (high-end). The covering is thin and not very shock-absorbent, thus reducing the weight of the saddle. To further increase lightness, some models are without suspension.Fizik mountain bike saddles: The vibrations and impacts a mountain bike must withstand are much more intense than those of road/gravel bikes. Fizik MTB saddles are more robust, have a less tapered shape, and higher, more deformable padding to better absorb vibrations from the terrain. Compared to racing saddles, MTB saddles are mounted in a more forward-sloping position because mountain bikers tend to pedal out of the saddle a lot on some sections.
