Sit Bone Width Saddle Fit
Sit bone width saddle fit matches saddle width to your pelvic contact points so pressure sits on bone, not sensitive soft tissue.
Sit bone width saddle fit matches saddle width to ischial tuberosity spacing so weight rests on bone, not soft tissue. Shops measure with foam impressions; at home, corrugated cardboard impressions give a rough guide.
Too narrow concentrates pressure; too wide can chafe thighs. Tilt and shorts still matter—width alone does not fix numbness.
Common questions
-
Do cutout saddles replace width fitting?
No—cutouts relieve soft-tissue pressure but ischial support still needs appropriate width and level tilt.
