Competition saddles
To disable ads, please log-in.
Hi everyone!
I read a lot of other posts&threads but still have doubts about the right saddle. I never had a women's saddle, but tried Fizik Nisene Sport, Selle Italia Flite and TransAm, Bontrager, Scott-all men's. Also I don't think I need something too wide because my problem is pressure in the sensitive area. I guess I should mention I ride a lot since I'm into competitive MTBiking. Can you please suggest something (anything!) that would maybe work for me, but isn't too expensive?

It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

Competition saddles
Are you near any shops that have demo programs? WTB has a great line of saddles in many sizes/shapes.

Unfortunately I have nowhere to try the saddles since none are available for purchase
I am going to order from Chain Reaction Cycles probably,so I am very limited... The only thing up for sale near was Selle Italia Lady TransAm but I don't know anything about it.
The Selle SMP TRK looks ok, I have actually been thinking about that one, Fizik Vitesse and some of Selle Italia(Lady,Diva,Lady SLK & SLR)...
Also can you tell me the difference between Fizik Vitesse Sport, HP and Tri? I mean in riding them?

Measure your sitbones. If by "sensitive area" you mean your perineum or labia, that's a good sign that your saddle is probably too narrow.
