Which saddle? 

The most suitable saddle for you depends on your position on the bike.

You can say that the Touring is for common use. A city-bike or a terrain bike, both can be used with a Touring. The Sport is the gel-version of the Touring. Sligthly smaller, a bit lower and comfortable with ISM gel.

The Adamo seats are for sportive use. Typhoon and Century for trekking/ATB, Road for ATB/race and Racing for race/time-trail/triahlon.

 

Is it true that I can get impotent using a wrong saddle?

According to more and more researches it indeed appears that by using a wrong saddle the chances of becoming impotent increase. So don’t let them fob you off by saying: “You need to sit on the hardest and just chew on”...... ask your doctor or specialist.

 

Whom has this saddle been meant for?

The ISM saddle is meant for people who often bike, like to sit comfortable during a ride (even after 25 kilometres) and don’t want long term damaging consequenses. The ISM saddle is also for who find it difficult to sit on a conventional saddle. This can be due to medical reasons (such as prostate cancer or other medical surgeries in the lower body).

 

What if the saddle isn’t comfortable?

If the saddle isn’t comfortable, the adjustments probably are not adjusted properly. Please read the instructions for the adjustments carefully and try the different positions, saddle height, backwards or forwards and most of all the tilting of the saddle (tip slightly downward). Overall taken everybody must be able to sit on this saddle!

 

This saddle doesn’t look like a regular saddle!

That is correct! This is because the ISM saddle isn’t a normal saddle! This makes the ISM saddle unique! That is why this is the only saddle on which everybody can sit!! The only reason why there are so many different types of saddles, (in the Netherlands over 300!!) on the market is because every single saddle solves only one problem, but avoids the other problems. This just because “a saddle should especially look like a saddle”! Get rid of that idea and realise that there only needs to be something supportive where necessary. Support at other parts may only cause blood vessels and nerves to be obstructed which is highly unpleasant and unhealthy.

 

I had prostate surgery, is this saddle suitable for me?

Definitely, our saddle is especially suitable for these situations! No pressure is put on unnecessary areas. Such a relief!

 

I’ve tried so many things, why would this help?

For many people the ISM saddle is the perfect solution, for it gives room and relief because it doesn’t put pressure on areas where it can hurt. Many saddle problems have been solved with a ISM saddle and much (future) sorrow can be prevented with it.
