saddle for time trail bike

kevin_stephens

After quite a lot of trial and error on my turbo and the road, I am really pleased with the front end set up of my second hand TT bike. I have a really comfortable, powerful and low aero position

The problem is my saddle, with lying low my weight is more on my manly soft tissue than my sit bones, which becomes very uncomfortable after a while. If I tilt my saddle to overcome this I feel like I am always sliding forward and have to push harder against my aero bars to stay in position.

Can anybody recommend a dedicated TT saddle to overcome my problems?

I love the SLR on my road bike, and something similar suited to a TT position would be great.

many thanks

I've used a few and the best by far for me is the Arione Tri. Strangely I wasn't a fan of the normal road Arione but the Tri model is fantastic.

A friend of mine has got a Tri-specific Profile TriStryke - it's not the best look saddle in the world (not very 'sleek') but he swears it's the most comfortable he's ever ridden - even after a 50 he said it was still comfortable!!

Think I might have to get myself one for next year!!

I use a Selle Italia NT1, which I think is actually supposed to be a MTB downhill saddle, but it has a nice wide gel-padded nose which allows me to ride right on the nose for a 25, without too much discomfort.

Ive tried numerous saddles for TTing, even the Tri-Stryke (whcih ws too soft). Concensus amongst fellow TTers that I know is the Selle Italia SLR T1. Has a big wide and long nose, its the oly saddle I can sit on for long periods without too much pain.
