Short Nose
Saddles

Short nose saddles have gained popularity in recent years as an alternative to traditional longer-nosed saddles.
Short nose saddles are characterized by their shorter length, typically around 240-250mm compared to the average 270-290mm of a traditional saddle. This shorter length allows for more freedom of movement and reduces pressure on the perineal area, which can be a source of discomfort for many cyclists.
Moreover, short nose saddles can also improve power transfer as they allow for a more natural pedaling motion without interference from a longer saddle nose. This is especially beneficial for road racers who need to generate maximum power and efficiency in their pedal strokes.
Another advantage of short nose saddles is their weight. Due to their shorter length, they often weigh less than traditional saddles, making them a popular choice for competitive cyclists looking to shave off any unnecessary grams.
It's important to note that short nose saddles may not be suitable for everyone. The shorter length may not provide enough support for riders with wider sit bones or those who prefer a more upright riding position.
