Coccyx pain when cycling is a common problem, especially for women. Studies have shown that a saddle that is too narrow or too soft can be the main cause. If you sink too low due to soft padding or a saddle that is too narrow, the coccyx can be put under greater strain and press painfully on the saddle.
The step saddle concept can help with coccyx pain by optimizing pressure distribution. The saddle is lower at the front than at the back, which means that the sit bones are better supported and the body weight does not put pressure on the sensitive coccyx. This means that the pelvis sinks less, as is the case with soft or too narrow saddles. By providing targeted relief for the coccyx, the stepped saddle offers a pain-free riding position and increases comfort.
