Triathlon bicycle, tt, time trial saddle
The Velossimo.hu range includes saddles specifically designed for triathlon and time trial (TT) cycling. These saddles differ significantly from traditional road saddles, as triathletes spend long periods in an aggressive aerodynamic position with the pelvis rotated forward.
Our key brand in this category is Selle Italia, one of the world's leading saddle manufacturers. The Watt saddle family has been specifically developed for triathlon and time trial applications and is widely used by amateur and professional athletes alike.

What Makes a Triathlon Saddle Different?
• Shorter saddle nose design
• Wider and more supportive front section
• Optimized for forward pelvic rotation
• Large central cut-out or pressure-relief channel
• Reduced pressure on soft tissue areas
• Improved comfort in aerodynamic riding positions
• Stable support during high-effort riding
How to Choose a Triathlon Saddle
• Consider your riding position and flexibility
• Long-distance athletes generally benefit from additional support and pressure relief
• Saddle width is as important as saddle shape
• Models with large cut-outs often provide better comfort in aero positions
• The longer the time spent on aerobars, the more important saddle support becomes
Applications
• Triathlon bicycles
• Time trial (TT) bicycles
• Ironman racing
• Long-distance endurance events
• Training and competition
In Practice
