Riding position is the angle at which you hold your upper body when cycling, and it is the crucial factor in choosing an optimal saddle. According to your riding style, the way your sit bones rest on the saddle varies substantially, and this consequently affects the level of comfort.

Select your correct riding position from either 45° (Athletic), 60° (Moderate) or 90° (Relaxed) to enjoy your rides pain free!

Ischial Variation is the measurement of distance between your sit bones. How to measure it: If you don’t have the possibility to go to a biomechanics expert or to a shop that has a sit bones measurement tool, you can easily simulate the procedure at home using corrugated cardboard or another moldable material on a flat surface.

Sit at 90° and apply pressure

Find the centres of the two ischial impressions and measure the distance between these two points with a ruler. The result is your ischial distance.
