It gives you a supportive platform without the extra width of a saddle designed for a fully upright position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 201mm Relaxed is designed for riders sitting further upright and carrying more of their weight through the saddle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon't automatically choose the Relaxed because it's wider. The right choice depends on your riding position and sit-bone width rather than simply how much saddle is underneath you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtra Visibility for Everyday Riding\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reflective rear section is a useful addition for commuting and riding around town, particularly during winter when you're more likely to be riding in poor light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe'd still consider proper front and rear bike lights essential for riding in the dark. The reflective section adds visibility but shouldn't be treated as a replacement for a rear light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur Thoughts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vivo is a practical saddle for an everyday bike. You've got plenty of Royalgel cushioning, a centre channel for pressure relief and the reflective rear panel is a sensible feature for a bike that's regularly used for commuting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also like having two shapes to choose from. If you're leaning forward towards the bars, we'd start with the Moderate. If you're sitting much more upright, that's when we'd look at the Relaxed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs always, we'd rather get the width and shape right first than simply put you on the widest, softest saddle. That's usually a much better starting point for long-term comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFree Retül Digital Sit-Bone Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisit Chain Reaction Christchurch for a free Retül Digital Sit-Bone Measurement.
