Selle Royal Ladies Alpine Gel Saddle
When it comes to choosing a new Bike Seat, there are a couple of things to take into a account: whether you are a male or female, and what style of riding you do.
Due to huge differences in a man and woman’s anatomy, the first step is very important. Selle Royal’s saddles are designed with this in mind. The women’s bikes seats feature Narrower more "V" shaped pressure relief area than the men’s as the area that is on the seat is much thinner. A woman has wider sit bones than a man, with the average woman measuring at 130mm across, so the bike seats are wider at the rear in a ladies saddle.
The next of Selle Royal's most important design parameters is the riding position. This has a big influence on how the sit bones and other intimate parts of the body contact the saddle. Selle Royal has categorized 4 riding positions to address these important contact areas: Sport, Athletic, Moderate and Relaxed.
The Selle Royal Alpine is a saddle is a bike seat aimed at the Athletic Cyclist; an active rider, who rides for fun and wants to be comfortable at all times, but nevertheless wants to be able to pick up the pace now and then.
Padded with RoyalGEL, an exclusive polyurethane gel, the Selle Royal Alpine ensures the rider gets a superior level of comfort. Royalgel absorbs any shocks better than ordinary foam padding found in other bike seats; the shocks from bumps on the road are absorbed into the GEL instead of being transferred into the cyclist’s body. This GEL won’t harden with age, will stand the test of time and most importantly, it offers the maximum level of comfort.
