The bikefitting.com Saddle Selector is a professional fitting tool designed for bicycle retailers and fitters. By digitally measuring sit bone width and combining that data with rider flexibility and preferred riding position, it delivers accurate, personalised saddle recommendations — reducing returns, building customer confidence, and making saddle selection a science rather than a guess. Suitable for road, mountain, touring, triathlon, and e-bike disciplines.

Highlights

• Digital sit bone measurement: Delivers greater accuracy than traditional pressure-pad methods — no calibration or pressure mapping required.
• Multi-factor assessment: Combines sit bone width with flexibility and riding position data to recommend the truly optimal saddle shape and width.
• Dealer stock integration: Only saddle brands stocked in your store appear in the recommendations, so advice is always aligned with what you can sell.
• Standalone or integrated: Works as an independent point-of-sale saddle selector or as part of a comprehensive bikefitting.com bike fit session.
• Web application interface: User-friendly browser-based software — no complex setup or specialist hardware beyond the included Cube device.
• Covers all cycling disciplines: Supports road, mountain bike, touring, triathlon, and e-bike rider profiles.
• Reduces saddle-related issues: Helps prevent saddle sores, discomfort, and injury by matching riders to the correct saddle geometry for their anatomy.

How It Works

The Saddle Selector Cube device measures the rider's sit bone width digitally. The fitter then enters the rider's flexibility level and preferred riding position into the web application. The software cross-references these inputs against a curated database of saddle models — filtered to show only brands available in your store — and produces a prioritised recommendation list. The entire process is quick enough to run during a standard sales consultation, with no calibration between customers required.

Professional Tool — Dealer Use

The bikefitting.com Saddle Selector is sold as a professional dealer tool. It is part of the broader bikefitting.com ecosystem developed in partnership with Shimano, enabling authorised retailers to offer evidence-based saddle fitting as a retail service or an add-on to full bike fitting appointments. By pairing objective measurement with stock-specific recommendations, dealers can increase customer satisfaction and reduce saddle exchanges.

Compatibility & Fit

Compatible with all saddle brands and models that can be configured within the bikefitting.com software. Dealer stock selection is configured during setup so recommendations reflect your actual inventory. Suitable for use across all rider types and cycling disciplines. No specific bike compatibility requirements — this is a measurement and recommendation tool, not a bicycle component.
