ISM Adamo Podium Attack Comfort Saddle

ISM has been working with the World’s best professional cyclists for several years.  The Attack is our newest road racing saddle.  We have narrowed the transition from front to back to 110mm to allow for better rider body movement.  The central channel has also been lengthened to maximize and maintain blood flow and comfort in a more slack position.  In fact, blood flow testing proved the best we’ve ever had.  Comfort, Power, and Performance.  The Attack gets you there.  Uses foam and gel padding and titanium alloy rails.  270mm long and 110 mm wide.

Available in Black, White

 

SET UP


1. Attach the ISM saddle to the seat post, placing the saddle’s rails parallel to the ground, or at a 
slight angle downward. Tighten the bolts. The tilt of the front arms is subjective and differs 
from rider to rider. Usually for aerobar athletes you want the arms slightly tilted downward. 
For road bikes or comfort bikes, have the arms level. There is no right or wrong answer here 
as it’s individual preference. Don’t be afraid to bring a tool with you to make slight 
adjustments while on the first few rides. You will find your sweet spot. 

2. Place the seat lower than you normally do. You are placing it lower, because you are utilizing 
your sit bones (where you want the pressure), which places you higher on the seat. Many 
times we suggest lowering your overall saddle position .5 - 1cm vs. your traditional saddle. 
This will relieve pressure you are feeling from the new contact point. Remember ISM saddles 
remove the pressure from the soft tissue and place it on the “sit bones”. This is what 
traditional nosed saddles try to do by offering different widths, but unfortunately still have 
pressure on the soft tissue. If you feel that you are rocking from side to side, you have it too 
high - lower the saddle. Additionally, your toes should not be pointing down when you pedal. 
This is a clear sign your seat is too high. 

3. Slide your saddle back, further than a normal saddle, on the post. Tighten the bolts. We have 
removed the “nose of the saddle” which is approximately 2 inches off the front as it is only 
hitting your soft tissue area and may cause damage. Because of that, the front of the saddle 
arms should only reach the mid-point of your inner thigh. If the saddle arms are sticking out 
the front while you are on the saddle, you have the saddle too far forward. If you feel the 
saddle is too wide, move it back. Do not zip tie the front arms. The width is intentional and a 
zip tie defeats the benefits of the saddle design and voids the warranty. 

4. Your sit bones are the main points of contact of the body to the seat. You may feel tenderness 
to the sit bones after the first few rides. This is normal, as you are conditioning the muscles in 
your buttocks. 

5. It is recommended that you go for a short first ride, take your tools and tweak your position. 
Just like a new pair of dress shoes, you have to break them in. Have fun and ride in comfort!

 

Who says ISM™ is the most comfortable bike seat in the world?

Every year, several hundred million people worldwide are involved in the activity of bicycle riding. Research studies have linked perineal pressure caused by straddling traditional bicycle seats to numbness, urinary tract and yeast infections, prostate inflammation and impotence. For male riders, in addition to the discomfort and numbness associated with a traditional saddle, there is an increased susceptibility to restricted blood flow, which can lead to arterial occlusion and permanent erectile dysfunction. For women, the restricted blood flow and hardening of the genital arteries can lead to an inability to reach orgasm. It has been found that as little as 11% of a person’s body weight can compress the genital artery!

In November 2004, Steve Toll set out to eradicate the problems caused by traditional saddles, and create the most comfortable bike seat in the world. He took the ISM™ saddle to Germany to be tested by Dr. Frank Sommer, a noted expert in the area of arterial occlusion resulting from bicycle saddles at the University of Cologne.

While normal testing involves a 15-minute ride on a saddle, the test using the ISM™ was discontinued after 12 minutes. Why? Dr. Sommer commented, “It doesn’t get any better than this.” In fact, blood flow in the perineum area remained at 100% throughout the test with the ISM™, a mark rarely seen in bicycle saddle testing.

In addition, Dr. Sommer’s prior research has indicated that some saddles restrict blood flow in the perineum area by as much as 95% within the first minute of a ride. Other studies indicate that such restriction over a long period can result in permanent erectile damage, as well as similar issues in female riders.

The ISM™ is a first-of-its-kind seat, designed for comfort and rider longevity. If a family is in your future, or you’re simply tired of the pain and discomfort associated with a traditional saddle, rest your bones on the ISM™. Research has proven that it’s simply a medically superior seat.
