The perfect gravel bike saddle: comfort and versatility
Gravel riding is the ultimate mix of speed and adventure. Your saddle should be too. A gravel bike specific saddle is designed to provide all-day comfort, dampen vibrations from unpaved roads and give you the freedom to change your sitting position. It is the perfect balance between a performance road bike saddle and a robust mountain bike saddle, made for long days on unfamiliar terrain.
How to choose the best gravel bike saddle?
On long gravel rides, comfort is the top priority. To choose the best saddle, measuring your sit bone width is a good starting point. Many gravel saddles have some more padding than road saddles to better absorb shocks and vibrations. A shorter nose (‘short-fit’) is popular because it reduces pressure at the front and gives you more room to change your sitting position. A large, long cut-out also helps to increase comfort during rides that last for several hours.
The right materials for off-road adventures
The materials used in gravel saddles are selected for their vibration dampening qualities. Titanium and carbon saddle rails are ideal for this purpose, as they naturally filter out more vibrations than steel rails. Many gravel saddles also have a shell designed to flex slightly, acting as a kind of mini shock absorber. Examples include the AGX (Adventure-Gravel-Cyclocross) saddles by Prologo and the Allroad models by Ergon.
Popular gravel bike saddle brands
A growing number of top brands are developing saddles specifically for gravel bikes. Among them, PRO is a frontrunner with its versatile PRO Stealth Offroad saddles. Selle Italia also offers excellent options with the Novus Boost Evo Gravel and Flite Boost Gravel models. Other popular brands include Ergon (with the SR Allroad series) and Fizik (Terra Argo), all of which perfectly combine comfort and performance.
Frequently asked questions about gravel bike saddles
What is the difference between a road bike saddle and a gravel bike saddle?
A gravel bike saddle generally has some more padding than a road bike saddle to be able to absorb vibrations better. The shape is often slightly different too, usually with a shorter nose and a design aimed at making it easy to change your riding position, which you will do more often on varying gravel routes.
How much padding do I need in a gravel saddle?
More padding is not always better - a saddle that is too soft may cause chafing. Gravel saddles offer a good balance with enough padding to absorb shocks as well as enough firmness to provide good support and power transfer. The right amount of padding depends on personal preference and on which type of surface you ride most.
Can I use a mountain bike saddle on my gravel bike?
Certainly. If you find a mountain bike saddle very comfortable, there is no reason not to use it. However, a gravel specific saddle is often lighter and more shaped for the slightly sportier position you adopt on a gravel bike compared to a mountain bike; thus, for many riders a gravel saddle may eventually be a better choice.
