Fizik Test Saddle Centre

If you are having saddle problems or are just looking at purchasing a Fizik saddle what better way to help you decide what model than to ride before you buy.

Using Fiziks spinal concept we can advise you as to what saddle/ saddles will suit your flexibility range.

You then get the chance to try all 3 saddles in the range Arione, Antares and Aliante not only as standard saddles but also in the new Grooved Versa models on a climb of the one of the major tours on our Elite Real Power trainer.

One of our respective technicians will change the saddles over for you and put them in the correct position so that you get an idea of what saddle suits your anatomy for more efficiency and comfort.

Price for 1 hour session is £50.

If you wish to purchase 1 of the respective saddles you will automatically receive a full discount of the fee charged

	THE SNAKE You use the entire length of the saddle. You flex easily and naturally to accommodate different positions. Genital compression is not an issue for you as your weight is supported by the sit bones. FLEXIBLE SPINE Those with more flexibility bend easily at the lower part of the spine. This allows the sit bones to manage most of the body’s weight with little pressure on the genital area regardless of the riding posture.
	THE CHAMELEON You are not restricted to a particular saddle shape. For comfort and performance you flex and adjust instinctively to manage the body’s weight. MEDIUM SPINE The ability to flex your spine may vary with your fitness level. You adjust for comfort interchangeably by changing hand positions on the tops, hoods and drops, sometimes relying on the sit bones and sometimes relying on the genital area to support the body’s weight.
	THE BULL As you reach forward you make a major adjustment, dramatically rotating the pelvis forward to sit in the pocket of the saddle. Your sit bones interface with the rear part of the saddle increasing pressure on the genitalia. Your genitalia finds relief in the pocket of the saddle. RIGID SPINE Those with less flexibility are not easily able to assume the high performance cycling position. To reach this position the pelvis rotates forward dramatically, forcing the hips back. In this position the rider’s weight is directed to the genital area.
