Saddle fitting

Find your ideal seat size with
idmatch Smart Caliper and Saddle Sizing

Using a strict scientific measurement process that only takes 30 seconds, a sophisticated algorithm and some straightforward anthropometrical data, any cyclist can now find his own ideal solution in terms of comfort and performance.

Smart Caliper

The idmatch Smart Caliper is a sophisticated anthropometrical gauge endowed with an internal algorithm which delivers accurate measurements and scientific results in just a few seconds. Based on a series of digital sensors, its micro-processor is able to automatically identify the ideal saddle type for any cyclist.

Step 1

Intertrochanteric distance measurement

The intertrochanteric distance is the space between the two big femur tuberosities; these two perch points must be perfectly matched to the seat surface and are a crucial factor in establishing a cyclist’s ideal seated position.

Step 2

Thigh-diameter measurement

Measuring the upper diameter of the thigh and comparing it to the intertrochanteric distance allows us to establish the best saddle shape for each single cyclist.

Step 3

Pelvic rotation measurement

Knowing the pelvic tilt/rotation helps us to know what kind of saddle will offer the most comfortable ride.

Once taken, all these various measurements will tell us to a great degree of accuracy what saddle will suit the physique and riding preferences of each individual cyclist.
