FAQs

Is this saddle suitable for men?

The Novus Boost Evo Lady TM Superflow is specifically designed for female anatomy. While some male riders may find it comfortable, its shape and features are optimized for women.

What is the main benefit of the Superflow cut-out?

The Superflow central cut-out drastically reduces pressure in the perineal area, which is particularly beneficial for comfort on longer rides and helps prevent numbness.

How does the 'Waved' profile help?

The waved profile provides increased stability and better support for the ischial bones (sit bones), making it ideal for riders who tend to stay in one position or have a posterior pelvic tilt.

What is the difference between this saddle and a flat saddle?

The waved profile of this saddle offers more pronounced support and stability compared to a flatter saddle, which might be preferred by riders who don't move around on the saddle much.

Can I use this saddle for competitive racing?

Yes, the saddle is designed with performance in mind, featuring lightweight materials and an ergonomic shape suitable for road racing. However, rider preference for saddle shape is personal.

What material are the rails made of?

The rails are made of a durable and lightweight Cromoly and Manganese alloy (Ø7mm).

What are the dimensions of the saddle?

The saddle measures 145mm in width and 245mm in length.

Troubleshooting

Saddle feels uncomfortable after initial rides.

Allow for an adjustment period of 1-2 weeks. Ensure the saddle height, tilt, and fore/aft position are correctly set up according to your bike fit.

Squeaking noise from the saddle area.

Check that the saddle rails are securely clamped by the seatpost. Apply a small amount of light grease to the contact points between the saddle rails and the seatpost clamp.

Perineal pressure or numbness persists.

Verify that the saddle tilt is set correctly. A slight downward tilt at the nose may be necessary. Consult a professional bike fitter if issues continue.

Rails appear to be slipping in the seatpost clamp.

Ensure the seatpost clamp is tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications. Clean any dirt or debris from the saddle rails and inside the clamp.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
