Few component changes constitute a genuine improvement as much as a new seat.
So, here is our pick of the best road bike saddles. Although saddle technology has evolved significantly over the years - featuring innovations like 3D printing and popular shorter designs with central cut-outs - many cyclists continue to use the same saddle for years. Therefore, we've revisited our review archive to bring you a list of the best saddles we'd recommend.
Tester Liam writes: “What you're getting from the Romin is a relatively long saddle, with a central cutout Specialized says helps maintain blood flow. This channel is narrower than found on their own stubbier saddles, such as the S-Works Power Mirror. It’s an absolute steal for a titanium-railed saddle that offers this level of comfort and this quality of finish.The Selle Italia Diva Gel Flow saddle is one of the most widely recommended women’s saddles out there and for very good reasons. It’s comfortable, flexible, light and it even looks good too.
The Repente Spyd 3.0 is a high-performance saddle that is suitable for both on and off-road riding as well as both male and female riders. The Spyd 3.0 is marketed as a 'Close Fit' saddle, designed to reduce pressure on the ischial bones and it certainly has an unusual shape, with an almost vertical edge where it widens for the 'sitting' area.
There are two versions of the Shortfit 2.0 3D saddle, the Carbon FX on test, and the Racing, with the only difference being the material used for the rails. The Carbon FX's are carbon, while the Racing has stainless steel rails.The Ritchey WCS Cabrillo saddle is a great all-rounder with a shorter and wider unisex design aimed at road and gravel riders. At first glance, it would easily pass as a traditional road saddle but at 260x146mm the WCS Cabrillo is a little shorter.
If you're looking to switch to this saddle, ISM recommends you build up the distance slowly, simply because it's so different to most.The Repente Quasar is a racy saddle that's very comfortable and exceptionally light for the price. If you like to ride hard and fast, with your saddle high and handlebar low, then you're probably the type of rider who is interested in a flat saddle.
You also get Giant’s PFT – Particle Flow Technology – pockets in the padding and reviewer Liam found it resulted in no numbness or sore spots.What do you get if you combine the classic Brooks 'hammock' saddle design with thoroughly modern materials? You get the Cambium C17 which tester John describes as"supremely comfortable".
There is a central cutout to aid with blood flow, but it's short compared with those on some other saddles and it doesn't extend to the rear end of the seat – and that lack of a cutout contributes to the Aliante's reasonably substantial weight.This is the big question and it’s not an easy one to answer because saddle choice is very much a matter of personal preference. You’ve never had a wider choice of saddle shapes and widths – so much so that things can get confusing.
Comfort isn’t simply down to the depth of padding. Saddle shape and the density of the padding are important too, and what works best for one person won’t necessarily suit another.
