Fi’zi:k Luce Manganese Saddle – Women’s

You can tell, after a few spins around the driveway, that the saddle that came with your new road bike leaves something to be desired. Sure, you could put up with it for a season or so, narrowing down exactly where it puts the most uncomfortable pressure on your sit bones, or you could skip the pain and swap it out right away for the Fizik Luce Manganese Saddle. Fizik devoted a considerable amount of time and effort to its new women’s-specific saddle, shaping it to accommodate women’s bodies with a more drastic taper towards the nose to even out weight distribution and ensure thigh clearance.

As you test your new bike’s limits on longer, faster rides, the Luce’s three-piece shell will adapt to your body movement to prevent fatigue while maintaining just the right amount of stiffness. You’ll be able to drive power into the pedals when you’re floating along a serpentine climb after work, with enough flex to enjoy staying out all day on Saturday group rides. A lengthy pressure relief cutout along the saddle’s middle also helps with this; it encourages healthy, consistent circulation throughout soft tissue to prevent numbness from getting in the way of enjoying new routes, first races, and your speedy new frame.

Take the sting away from all day rides without breaking the bank with the Fi’zi:k Luce R5 saddle. This luxe saddle utilizes the same shape and construction as its carbon-railed counterpart, but opts for cost-saving S-alloy rails instead, shaving a big bill off of the price, while keeping your sit bones happy. It features a wide, 144mm shell (regular), topped with an Ischial Flex cover that both cushions you, and stands up to long and rigorous miles that but the hurt on your saddle.

Terry Bicycles Damselfly Saddle – Women’s

Terry Bicycles is committed to designing saddles that cater to all levels of cyclists, from the casual rider to the consummate professional. The Damselfly Saddle was developed at the behest of Terry’s sponsored riders, so you can be sure it’s all about speed.

A wide saddle can offer touring-style comfort, but it also interferes with pedaling, so Terry designed the Damselfly with a narrow 267mm profile for comfort while pedaling in anger. The slightly elevated tail provides a platform to push against when you’re sitting back on climbs, and the extended drop nose confers space during the sprint and gives you the option of sitting on the nose while tucked during long solo efforts.

The Damselfly also includes Terry’s signature center cutaway. This feature relieves pressure and allows the saddle to flex rather than compress under load, so you don’t lose the cushioning provided by the firm foam padding. The saddle is finished with a smooth Lorica cover, which allows you to move easily around the saddle, and Vanox vanadium rails that are at once durable and lightweight.

WTB Deva Team Saddle – Women’s

The WTB Deva Team Saddle features ample cushioning in a women-specific design for exceptional support and comfort over long miles. WTB outfits the Deva Team with a pressure-relieving recessed center channel and its DNA padding, which conforms to your anatomy almost like memory foam to further relieve pressure points. Its durable microfiber cover resists scuffs and abrasion, while minimal graphics allow the Deva to seamlessly integrate into any bike’s colorway.
