Saddle SELLE ROYAL Vaia Moderate 60 — unisex gel saddle with elastomers, size 60 (NEW 2024)

Selle Royal Vaia Moderate 60 is a unisex gel saddle engineered for everyday and leisure cycling. The design combines a gel-padded seating area with elastomer suspension elements to provide moderate cushioning and improved vibration damping. The saddle is intended for use on city, trekking and hybrid bicycles and fits standard saddle rails; the NEW 2024 update focuses on balanced comfort for riders seeking an all-round seating solution.

Advantages

The Vaia Moderate 60 delivers a balance of cushioning and support through a gel layer that conforms to the rider’s shape while elastomers absorb shocks from uneven surfaces. The unisex shape provides an ergonomic profile that suits a broad range of riders and riding positions. Materials and construction prioritize consistent comfort during medium-distance commutes and recreational rides without excessive bulk.

How to use

Install the saddle onto a compatible seatpost clamp that accepts standard rails, ensuring rails are seated correctly and the clamp is tightened to the manufacturer’s torque specification. Position the saddle fore-aft and tilt it to achieve a neutral riding posture where hips rotate naturally during pedaling. For best comfort, adjust saddle height so that the rider achieves a slight knee bend at the bottom of the pedal stroke. Regularly check rail clamp tightness and inspect elastomers for wear if the saddle is used frequently on rough roads.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, pair this saddle with a properly adjusted seatpost and check alignment periodically. Use the Vaia Moderate 60 for medium-length commutes and leisure rides where a balance between cushioning and pedaling efficiency is required; for long-distance or performance-focused cycling consider a saddle with firmer padding or a different ergonomic profile.
