ISM PL 1.1 Saddle

The ISM PL 1.1 Saddle is built around ISM's forked, noseless design — a shape that removes pressure from soft tissue entirely and redistributes load onto the sit bones or pubic rami, depending on your riding position. It sits in the Performance Long category, sharing its extended platform with the PL 1.0 but adding more generous padding: a foam base layer topped with gel for a noticeably cushioned ride. At 270mm long and 135mm wide at the rear, there's real room to shift your position on climbs, descents, and everything in between.

The forked nose is what separates ISM saddles from conventional designs — there's no central nose pressing into perineal tissue, which means no numbness, no soft-tissue pressure, and no cutting a long ride short because of discomfort in the wrong places. One important note: ISM saddles require a different fit setup than a standard saddle — the manufacturer recommends positioning the nose further forward than you might expect. Getting a proper saddle fit before your first long ride on the PL 1.1 will make a significant difference. Available in black and white.
