Bodyfit saddles have long been synonymous with comfort and great value for money.

We have drawn on our many years of expertise to bring you saddles that enhance rider comfort and don’t compromise on quality. Our saddles use innovative ideas like the patented i-Flex internal springing and of course many feature that all-important Gel padding. Even our entry level saddles are carefully constructed to alleviate pressure on sensitive areas.

All this at very affordable prices!

Saddles

What Is SLS Padding?

SLS stands for Supportive Lightweight Structure. Meaning the foam inside the cover offers the correct amount of support, but at the same time is comfortable for all-day and everyday use. The foam has a very high air content and cut outs, making it extremely light but with no detriment to comfort.

Is My Saddle Waterproof?

All Bodyfit saddles are 100% waterproof. The synthetic cover is one piece and molded to the saddle, therefore no water can penetrate to the layers below. The covering on Intake saddles is waterproof, however due to the stitching on the Airflow saddles, water could penetrate through the stitching to the layer beneath the cover.

What Is Microfibre?

Microfibre is a synthetic leather material. It behaves in exactly the same way as leather, as in it has high water repellence properties, yet is breathable and comfortable. Microfibre has the advantage that it will adapt to any form instantaneously and is not affected by climatic conditions.

Why Are Male And Female Saddles Different?

The Male and Female pelvis are different, for obvious reasons, and Bodyfit and Intake saddles are anatomically-designed with these differences in mind. The female sit bones are slightly wider apart so the gel inserts are appropriately placed in the correct positions on the female range. Likewise as the rider’s position becomes more dynamic (i.e. forward) the sit bones move closer together. The higher end saddles are designed with this in mind so will be just as comfortable for the rider while they are seated in a more race like position. Unisex saddles tend to be much wider with a very comfortable foam padding that makes the saddle fit the male and female form equally well.

Do I Need A Universal Clamp?

If your bike’s seatpost is straight with nothing at the top, i.e. it’s a stub, then you will need a universal seatclamp, available on some of the Bodyfit Unisex saddles. The clamp tightens onto the stub seatpost using a spanner. Most seatposts have a clamp on the seatpost which clamps onto the rails of the saddle. You will need to remove the universal clamp to fit to this kind of seatpost. The seatpost clamp then tightens to the rails while adjusting angle and position.

What Position Should My Saddle Be In?

To start with, a neutral position should be adopted, i.e. the clamp should be fitted mid way along the rails and the top of the saddle should be roughly horizontal. After riding the bike you can further adjust the position by moving the saddle forward/backwards along the rails and tilting the nose of the saddle up and down to suit you.

Top Tips On Bicycle security From ABUS

Check-list for securing bicycles

The numbers of thefts on the increase – detection rate on the decrease!
The chances of recovering a stolen bicycle are becoming slimmer and slimmer. It doesn’t have to be like that. With a small outlay you can spoil the fun of even the clever thief. Here’s a check-list for proper bicycle security to keep the fear of losing your iron horse in check

Is the bicycle properly parked?

Never park your bike carelessly. The deserted side street is just as bad as the quiet parking place. A better bet is a busy stand.

Do you use an extra lock?

These are on the market in every category of price and quality. High-quality chain locks or D-locks are to be recommended. The longer the thief takes to pick a lock, the greater the risk he runs of being caught.

Is the bike secured to a fixed object?

Wherever possible, you ought to lock your precious bike using a high-quality extra lock to a fixed object. Long D-locks or high-quality lock-chain combinations are suitable for this purpose.

Does your lock act as a deterrent?

A criminal’s energy is soon depleted if he sees that it will take a lot of time and effort to steal your bike.

Locking cylinder – a weak point

More and more professional thieves rely on intelligent special tools with which they can pick locks at ease. A large number of bicycle locks feature what are known as tubular cylinders (which take a round key). Opening these locks is child’s play with just one special tool. So: hands off!

Are your locks certified?

Only top-security products made of hi-tech materials with high-quality locking systems pass international certification institutes’ tests. The more of these little stickers or symbols there are on the packaging, the more resistant the products are. ABUS offers the widest range of Sold Secure (UK Master Locksmiths Association) approved products available.

Are they secure against ice spray?

Many cheap locks are produced from steel which gives up the ghost when treated with ice spray. High-quality locks are resistant to ice spray attacks and carry a certification seal to this effect.

Do you always carry your lock around with you?

The best lock doesn’t have a chance if it’s not carried around on the bicycle. ABUS locks come supplied with the best & most reliable mounting brackets making them easy to transport.

The trend towards a secondary lock

Secure your bicycle with two different types of lock, e.g. a D-lock and a cable lock. Professional thieves generally specialise in one type of lock.
