C2 Gel Flow Saddle - Black

To adapt to every cyclist, this saddle comes in two sizes: 145 mm and 155 mm.Following a study on ischial bone spacing, we recommend the most suitable size for your road cycling habits. For spacing from 90 to 120 mm, choose the 145 mm saddle. For spacing from 120 to 140 mm, choose the 155 mm saddle. If you have an upright posture (back at 45-60°), the 155 mm version will be more comfortable, as it distributes pressure points more evenly.

For maximum comfort, adjust your saddle in four key areas. Choose a model suitable to your posture (for example, a back inclined at 30°). Adjust the height according to your body shape, then adjust the angle to avoid any discomfort. Finally, modify its advance or offset for good alignment. For total comfort, do not forget to wear cycling shorts adapted to the duration of your ride.

To measure your inside leg and choose the right size of bike, you will need a tape measure, a hardback book and a pencil. Stand barefoot, back against a wall, feet 15 to 20 cm apart. Place the book between your legs and gently move it upwards towards your perineum. Mark the top of the book on the wall with a pencil, then measure the distance between the floor and this mark. This measurement is essential to determine your perfect frame size.

No need to be a pro to adjust your saddle. There is a reliable, easy-to-follow method: Measure your inside leg (from the ground to the top of a book between your legs). Multiply this measurement by 0.883. For example, for an inside leg of 89 cm: 89 × 0.883 = 78.6 cm. This is the ideal height between the centre of the bottom bracket and the top of your saddle. This adjustment guarantees smooth, pain free pedalling, and better efficiency on your bike.

A well-adjusted saddle is not a question of height. Its angle plays a key role in your comfort. What you need:a spirit level. Place it between the centre and the tip of the saddle. Adjust until the saddle is perfectly horizontal. Then, go out for a ride and try it several times. It is normal to adjust the angle a little depending on how it feels. The aim:find the angle that allows you to pedal smoothly, without pressure or discomfort.

To measure the gap between your ischial bones, place two pieces of corrugated cardboard on top of a stool. Sit on it, with your back straight, whilst applying great pressure for one minute. Stand up and identify the two marks that have been left. Mark the centre of each groove and measure the distance between the two points. This measurement will help you choose the correct width of saddle for optimal comfort.

For the best choice of saddle, your position is key. If you ride with your back straight (90°), choose a wide and comfortable saddle. For a slightly bent position (60°), a medium saddle offers a good balance between comfort and performance. Finally, if you are in sport mode (30°), a narrow saddle with a thin nose is essential for long term performance and comfort.

Every cyclist is different, which is why this saddle comes in two widths: 145 mm and 155 mm.Thanks to a study conducted with Decathlon SportsLab, we have analysed the spacing between ischial bones to better understand the real needs of cyclists, men and women. A precise recommendation to choose the size that is best suited to your body shape and pedal in total comfort, even on long rides.
