Should my saddle width reflect my sitbone width?

Yes, it’s important that your saddle is wide enough to support both sitbones evenly. Saddle manufactures are developing much wider saddles for a reason, wider saddles = more pelvic stability and comfort. Take sitbone measurement tools with a pinch of salt, they provide a guestimate on sitbone width which helps streamline your options. If you are a larger rider then try a wider saddle, if you are small and slender then give a narrower saddle a try. Be logical around saddle selection and always make sure you are covered with a money back guarantee if the saddle doesn’t work for you. That’s something that we offer on all the saddles we retail.
