Saddle pain in men

Saddle pain should not be part of cycling.

Does this sound familiar?

  • Pressing or burning pain on the sit bones after an hour of cycling
  • Numbness in the pubic area during or after the ride
  • Shifting on the saddle to find a comfortable spot
  • Saddle pain that worsens as the ride progresses

The biomechanical causes

Wat er meestal achter zit

A saddle that does not match your sit-bone width or posture

An incorrect saddle height or tilt causing pressure to be distributed incorrectly

Pelvic misalignment or leg length difference causing you to sit asymmetrically

Too much weight on the saddle due to an incorrect reach to the handlebars
