Saddle for Giant Trance X1 29er 2013

rave81

i finished upgrading the groupset of my new Giant Trance X1 29er to XTR, however I find the saddle that comes with it is uncomfortable, especially riding 4 hours in technical trail/single track.

Can you please recommend a comfortable saddle for trail rides.

Saddles are very personal. That said, most people seem to get on ok with Charge Spoons or SDG Bel Airs. It's a Fizik Tundra as standard on the Trance, right? So I'd guess you maybe need something wider or pressure relieving, or both. The good side is that Spoons are cheap enough if you find they don't really fit too.

Mine did not come with Fizik Tunday, it comes with Giant own saddle. The Fizik saddle is only available with Trance X0 and X00.

I would also suggest a Charge Spoon, very comfortable saddle and amazingly cheap, I paid £17.47 for mine, i've just ordered a second one so I'll have one on each bike.

specialized body geometry - get your "sit bones" measured and pick a saddle to suit.
