Kids' 14/16" 60° Bike Saddle

240 mm x 180 mm

The width of the saddle directly affects comfort.Our studies with Decathlon SportsLab have identified two key sizes: 145 mm: for sit bones measuring 90 to 120 mm 155 mm:for sit bones measuring 120 to 140 mm For a more upright posture, 155 mm remains the best option, even for sit bones measuring less than 120 mm.

For enjoyable, pain-free rides, it\'s crucial to adjust your saddle correctly.Start by choosing a saddle that suits your posture, for example a model designed for a 60° back angle. Adjust the height so that your leg extends naturally without your pelvis moving.Adjust the tilt for good support, with a neutral position often being ideal. Finally, adjust the saddle forward or backward to align your knees with the pedals, which will optimise your pedalling.

For a perfectly adjusted bike, measure your inseam length.You will need a hardcover book, a tape measure and a pencil. Stand with your back against a wall, barefoot and with your feet 15-20 cm apart.Place the book between your legs, move it up to your perineum and mark the wall above the book. Measure the distance between this mark and the floor.This measurement is essential for choosing the ideal frame size, ensuring your comfort and safety.

Simple adjustment for maximum comfort Measure your inseam, then apply the formula: Your inseam × 0.883 = ideal saddle height. Example: 89 cm → 78.6 cm between the bottom bracket axle and the top of the saddle.

A good adjustment is also a properly angled saddle. Place a spirit level on the front of the saddle. Adjust it so that it is completely flat. After a few rides, make slight adjustments according to how it feels.

- Take two pieces of cardboard, a flat stool, a ruler and a pen. - Place the cardboard on the stool, sit up straight and press down hard for one minute. - Stand up and locate the two marks. - Connect the centres with the ruler:this is your sit-bone width! A handy way to find the saddle that best suits your riding style.

Optimise your position with a simple test Lean against a wall, clip into your shoes, crank horizontal. Your knee should point towards the pedal axle. Adjust the saddle until you find this alignment.

Choosing the right saddle all depends on your position on the bike.For a straight back position (90°), opt for a wide saddle, often with gel, ideal for city riding. If you are slightly bent over (60°), an intermediate saddle will be an excellent compromise between comfort and performance for regular rides.Finally, for a sporty position (30°), a thin saddle with a narrow nose is the solution to reduce pressure and improve your performance.
