The saddle is a personalized part of your bicycle. Using the model that suits you when riding will have a key impact on your comfort and riding performance. After all, the seat is one of the three parts of your body that are in contact with the bicycle. The discomfort in the soft tissue area will make any riding uncomfortable. I believe you agree with this. So how do you know if the car seat is right for you?
Everything has to do with riding posture
Your riding posture is the most important consideration. In general, the Bontrager seat is divided into five positions from aerodynamics (position 1) to comfort (position 5). They range from casual upright postures to forward-leaning, aerodynamic postures. Your riding posture determines which part of your pelvis is in contact with the seat. Many people have a misunderstanding that a larger bicycle seat is naturally more comfortable. But the comfort of the seat depends entirely on your riding posture and how your body touches the seat. Although all seats are designed to support the body and reduce the pressure on the soft tissues of the body, if you choose an aerodynamic posture when riding, but choose a posture 5 seat, you will feel uncomfortable. Similarly, if you ride in an upright position but choose a posture 1 seat, it will also be uncomfortable. In order to find the right bicycle seat for you, you must first determine your posture, and then find a seat category that matches your riding posture.
