- Selle San Marco is launching three Shortfit Allroad saddles (Sport, Racing, Supercomfort Racing) featuring a corrugated profile and the Bow Rail System.  
- The Sport model features steel rails for entry-level riders, whilst the Racing model utilises a nylon frame with Xsilite rails; all models are available in sizes S and L.  
- The Supercomfort Racing model features gel padding to reduce pressure; prices for the range vary between 90 and 190 euros, depending on the model.

Bike Ahead: The Hypersaddle – an 87-gram saddle put to the test – absolutely mad!

- E-TPU padding, a short cut, a textured surface and a relief channel are designed to provide comfort, support and control from gravel to downhill.  
- Special features: rear-entry mounting system, integrated M5 accessory point, 140/160 mm width, approx. 148–150 g, price €129.95.

Sixpack Evo Rail Ultra: This saddle has no seat stays

- Einstein's personal Nelson leather saddle from 1929 with original order documents was offered for auction on 20 May 2026, but found no bidders.  
- Einstein ordered the saddle in Berlin-Schöneberg in 1929 and gave the bicycle and saddle to his colleague Max von Laue in 1932 before he emigrated.  
- The bicycle was later disposed of, but von Laue kept the comfortable saddle, which is now to be sold again via Margarete Hommrich's family.

- New SQlab 612R Ergowave 2.0 Carbon: Road bike saddle from 125 g, 4 widths (12-15 cm), carbon stays 7x9 mm, price €349.99, available from June
- Stepped saddle with a short, sporty design and pronounced dip for an aerodynamic, performance-orientated riding position, not focused on comfort
- Flex-Wing technology combines longitudinal stiffness with lateral flexibility, relieves the perineal area by up to 60 % according to the manufacturer and is adapted to widths

SQlab 612R Ergowave 2.0 Carbon: 125 gram lightweight road bike saddle

- Arione R1 Light: longest Fizik saddle with a flat profile, central cut-out and delta-shaped rear for relief and freedom of movement.  
- Full carbon shell, stiff carbon frame and EVA padding provide 151 g weight, high riding contact and 8 cm adjustment range for variable seating positions.  
- Two widths (135 and 145 mm) cover narrow to medium pelvises; plus four other Arione models from 99 to 299 euros, criticism: no option for wide pelvises.

- Select the saddle width according to the sit bone distance: too narrow puts strain on nerves, too wide causes friction and slipping.
- The shape, curvature, cut-out and padding hardness must match the pelvic position, riding position and sensitivity of the perineal and genital areas.
- Correct fitting with suitable tools, suitable clamping and correct inclination; professional fitting optimises pressure distribution.
