Fabric scoop saddle. Shallow or Radius?
Fabric says the Radius is for upright position, but I noticed Cannondale using it on their gravel slate bike. Wouldn't a Shallow fit into the semi-aggressive position better?

I had a scoop shallow on my bike (drop handlebars level with saddle - maybe a touch below), and found that it put too much pressure on my male anatomy, I switched to a saddle with a flat profile and it is much more tolerable.

Generally speaking, I find the the rounded radius is a little more comfortable for long gravel rides, while the flat seats are good for smoother fast rides in the drops.
I have a fast CX bike. I'll use the flat saddle for 25mph race training rides on asphalt, and the rounded saddle when doing 1-5 hour long gravel rides. (you could could have posted this in the gravel forum) |
