ISM Saddles | Product News / Reviews

Posted by Elite Custom on

ISM saddles are wide by design. The width isn't a flaw or an oversight but instead the width is the primary design component that provides the safety and comfort of all the ISM saddles. Our studies of the human hip confirmed the sit bones are the starting point for anyone sitting on any surface. When a human sits on a chair, a couch, the ground or any other object the first section of the human skeleton that makes contact with the sitting surface are the isichial tuberosities (sit bones).

ENVE M Series HV Rims VS Mountain Tire Sizes | Product News / Reviews

While some offered larger add-on cogs or aftermarket derailleur links, Praxis Works has opted to skip what some saw as a bandaid approach and instead developed an entire wide range 11-40...
