{"product_id":"ism-pl-1-0-saddle","title":"ISM PL 1.0 Saddle","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eISM PL 1.0 Saddle\u003c\/strong\u003e is built around ISM's defining principle: eliminate pressure on soft tissue by removing the nose entirely. The forked, noseless design transfers load to the sit bones and pubic rami — the bony structures that can actually bear weight — rather than compressing the perineum and the blood vessels beneath it. For riders who have chased away numbness and discomfort with every conventional saddle they've tried, that difference is immediate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PL 1.0 sits at the entry point of ISM's Performance Long line — 270mm in length, which gives you genuine room to shift position on longer efforts or varied terrain. The 135mm rear width provides a stable platform for your sit bones when your hips rotate back on climbs, while the 30-series padding level lands in the middle of ISM's range — enough cushioning for road riding without the dead, compressive feel of an over-padded saddle. One important note: a noseless saddle requires different positioning than a conventional one. Setting it up correctly — typically further forward and with more tilt adjustment than you'd expect — makes all the difference in how it performs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eISM PL 1.0 Saddle Specs at a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"specs_at_a_glance\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Noseless, forked platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 270mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRear width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 135mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePadding:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30-series (mid-level)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable colours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black, White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ISM","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":43512716492844,"sku":"VL9105BLK","price":249.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":43512716525612,"sku":"VL9015WHT","price":249.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/ism-pl-10-saddle-9654237.jpg?v=1771300289","url":"https:\/\/ricycles.com\/products\/ism-pl-1-0-saddle","provider":"RA Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
