Buy Bicycle Saddles Online – Comfort & Performance for Every Bike

Whether you are looking for a city saddle for everyday use, an ergonomic trekking saddle for extended tours or a lightweight road bike saddle for sporty rides: the range covers saddles in different widths, materials and degrees of hardness. This allows you as a commuter, touring rider, athlete or occasional rider to quickly find the right saddle for your seating position and anatomy – conveniently from home.

Saddles by Intended Use

For city traffic and short distances, wider, well-padded city saddles with an upright seating position are suitable. Trekking and touring saddles offer a balanced mix of comfort and stability for medium to long distances. Road bike saddles are narrower and firmer to support an aerodynamic posture. Mountain bike saddles score with robust construction and good freedom of movement off-road. Ergonomic saddles with pressure relief zones are specifically designed for riders who value healthy and pain-free sitting – also on e-bikes.

Buying a Saddle – What to Look For?

When buying a saddle, saddle width, sit bone distance, padding and area of use play a central role. The optimal saddle width is based on your individual sit bone distance, which you can have measured with a measuring cushion at a specialist shop. A saddle cutout or central recess can reduce pressure on sensitive areas. Lightweight models with carbon rails are suitable for weight-oriented riders, while leather saddles impress with long service life and individual adaptation.

Who Is This Category For?

The category is ideal for all cyclists in Switzerland – from everyday commuters and weekend excursionists to sporty road bike and mountain bike riders, touring riders and e-bike users. Those specifically looking for a women's saddle, an ergonomic saddle for sitting discomfort or a lightweight carbon saddle for weight optimization will also find a wide selection of specialized models here.

Quality, Ergonomics & Material Selection

When buying a bicycle saddle, it is worth paying attention to high-quality materials such as abrasion-resistant microfiber upper material, lightweight rails made of titanium or carbon, and an anatomically sensible shape. Ergonomic models with pressure relief zones and multiple width options offer noticeable added value, especially for frequent riders. A professional saddle fitting helps to find the optimal saddle for one's own anatomy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which bicycle saddle suits me?
The right saddle depends on your riding style, seating position, and sit bone distance. For sporty riders, narrower, firmer saddles are suitable, while everyday and touring riders benefit from wider, padded models. A sit bone measurement at a specialist shop helps you find the optimal saddle width.
How do I find the right saddle width?
The saddle width is based on your sit bone distance. You can have this measured at a specialist shop using a special measuring cushion. The saddle width should be about 2–3 cm more than the measured distance so that the sit bones rest optimally on the saddle surface and soft tissue is relieved.
What is the difference between city, trekking and road bike saddles?
City saddles are wider and more heavily padded for an upright seating position and short distances. Trekking saddles offer a balanced mix of comfort and stability for medium to long tours. Road bike saddles are narrower, lighter and firmer to support a sporty, forward-leaning posture and avoid pressure points at high cadences.
Are leather saddles better than synthetic saddles?
Leather saddles adapt individually to the sitting anatomy over time and offer very high comfort on long distances after a break-in period. Synthetic saddles are lighter, weather-resistant and ready for immediate use. Both materials have their advantages – the choice depends on your personal preferences and intended use.
How important is a saddle cutout or recess?
A saddle cutout or central recess can reduce pressure on sensitive perineal areas and improve blood circulation. It is particularly recommended for riders who are on longer distances or in a sporty posture. Whether a recess is necessary, however, depends on individual anatomy.
Which saddle is suitable for long tours?
For long tours, ergonomically shaped trekking saddles or high-quality leather saddles are recommended, as they offer good pressure distribution and adapt to the sitting anatomy. Models from Brooks, Ergon or SQlab are particularly popular with touring riders because they ensure comfort even after several hours in the saddle.
How do I recognize an ergonomic bicycle saddle?
Ergonomic saddles are characterized by an anatomically adapted shape, stepless width gradations and often a pressure relief zone in the perineal area. Brands like Ergon and SQlab rely on medically sound concepts and offer saddles in different widths that are precisely tailored to the sit bone distance.
Can I mount a bicycle saddle myself?
Yes, mounting a bicycle saddle is generally easy to do yourself with simple tools. The correct saddle height, horizontal alignment and the appropriate saddle offset are important. A torque wrench helps to tighten the clamping screws with the correct torque and avoid damage.
