The ergonomic channel is also a useful feature, particularly as rides start getting longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur Thoughts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA comfortable saddle can make a surprisingly big difference to how much a young rider enjoys being on their bike. If they're constantly shifting around or complaining that the saddle hurts, it's worth checking the saddle rather than assuming they'll simply get used to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe like that the Explora Junior is actually designed around smaller riders. The 130–155cm height recommendation is a useful starting point, but we'd still look at the rider and the bike together. Saddle height, angle and riding position all play a part in comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Selle Royal","offers":[{"title":"Selle Royal Explora Junior Saddle Large","offer_id":45750758047940,"sku":"SA53808","price":50.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1566\/6131\/files\/517b5c21b5479427d4270a925bc5ca78.jpg?v=1772608364","url":"https:\/\/www.chainreaction.co.nz\/products\/selle-royal-explora-junior-saddle","provider":"Chain Reaction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
