The ISM Adamo Time Trial Saddle is all out TT performance and comfort. One of the few time trial saddles you can spend all day on without developing numbness or soft tissue pain.

ISM intends that you spend most of your time on the middle of the saddle or off the front. This design gets your bits further forward and off the saddle. This alone gets nearly half of the intended benefit – no numbness or pain. Secondly ISM offers a wide cutout that starts at the middle and goes to the front, where as an SMP saddle has an end-to-end cutout.  ISM in effect is creating two ‘beams’ of foam that run between your crotch and leg, right at the fold. Placing the pressure here saves your soft tissue and prevents restricted blood flow. This design is so effective the same model is both male and female friendly. It does however have a tendency to cause chaffing, so folks who like very narrow nosed saddles might think twice and consider getting ISM Adamo’s Prologue.

Pay attention to setup as setting up this saddle is slightly different than your regular saddle. It’s designed for you to spend your time at the midpoint to front. Proper setup will have 2 inches of rear saddle exposed when you’re at your furthest point rear on the saddle. You’re not to ever hit the end of the rear. Expect to see the top and side embroidery when you’re setup correctly. For this saddle more than any other, playing with the position is key. It’s truly unique shape will require tweaking and getting used to it. Don’t expect it to feel comfortable your first ride. It didn’t for us.
