Measuring tool
Function : the measuring tool shall highlight the right saddle for every person who takes the measurements. The tool combines three different parameters, which – in order of priority – are:
1. Riding position , viz. the inclination on the bike. This parameter identifies three types of riders: Athletic rider - who sits on the saddle with 45° spine angle; the Moderate rider – with a 60° spine angle and the Relaxed rider – who sits upright with a 90° spine angle.
2. Ischial bones distance according to the riding position (ischial bones are not parallel, accordingly the distance among them in the Athletic riding position is not the same as in the Moderate Riding position). The result will indicate the saddle size: S, M or L
3. Weight of the person, which influences the required padding softness: if the weight is under 60 kg, a soft saddle (model a) is most appropriate; if the weight is above 60 kg, ahard saddle (model b) is more adequate.
