It is no secret that the team of fitters at Cyclologic loves gebioMized technology. Saddle pressure mapping has revolutionized the way we approach bike fit. All levels of cyclists, from Pro Tour professionals and Ironman champions to first time recreational riders benefit from the data we are able to gather using gebioMized products.
That data, collected from tens of thousands of pressure maps, has now been used to design a line of saddles that we have absolutely fallen in love with. The gebioMized Sleak, Area, and Stride saddles simply work.

From a bike fitter’s perspective, the thought process behind selecting which gebioMized saddle is right for a given rider, is very straightforward and intuitive.
Triathlon and TT: If you are looking at a TT or Tri bike, then the Stride should be one of the first saddles you grab. It comes in two densities, soft and medium, and has multiple areas for the rider to sit. Most long course triathletes will prefer the softer density saddle, while most TT specialists prefer the medium density.
Road, Cyclocross, Track and Mountain bike: When it comes to selecting the right saddle for road, cyclocross, or mountain bikes, gebioMized have made things very simple for you as well. Just answer the following three questions:
1- Is the cyclist a man or woman? The Area saddles were designed primarily with women in mind, and the Sleak saddles for men. This is just a starting point though. We have placed many men on Area saddles.
2- Does the cyclist ride with an upright torso angle (more pressure on the ischial tuberosities), or with a lower torso angle (more pressure on the pubic rami)? Upright riders will gravitate toward the Area 155 or the Sleak 135. Riders with lower torso angles will lean towards the Sleak 145 or Area 145.
3- Each of the above saddles comes in both channel and a cut out versions. How sensitive is the rider to pressure in the center of the saddle? If they tend to have sensitivities there, choose the cut out. If they don’t, choose the channel.
