Riding position for different cyclists

One 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.
