Information on saddle ergonomics
How does seat pain occur when cycling?
The majority of body weight rests on the saddle while cycling. This can lead to numbness and pain in the seat bones, genital or soft areas. It can also lead to discomfort from friction.
Where?
Mostly an incorrect saddle position on longer rides can increase discomfort. The saddle can sometimes cause numbness or pain around the pelvic region. The Nervus pundendus nerve is often responsible for this.
Prevention
The most important thing is to spread out body weight correctly across the saddle. This can best be done by using a proper saddle that matches your seat bone distance. This allows for a large enough space to properly distribute weight.
How does a saddle stem discomfort?
Pressure on arteries and nerves usually cause pain and discomfort. A cut out in the middle of the saddle can usually help here. The cut out needs to be made specifically for both male and female anatomy. High-quality foams and gels can also help relieve discomfort and friction while riding.
The difference in seat bone distance and genital shape by men and women makes gender specific saddles a must and require a certain ergonomic shape:
- Cut out is shaped based on genital region
- Smooth transition from cut out to rest of saddle prevents pressure points
- Pressure is best distributed for all riding types
