Protection is just as important as performance. Any cyclist knows this; in fact, the former directly affects the latter. The absence of chafing and discomfort could sometimes spell the difference between triumph and disappointment.
Elastic Interface® understands cyclists’ need for protection, and thus responds with nothing but elite technology. Our commitment to women cyclists is as strong as their pursuit for comfort and high-performance in everyday rides. Thus, we have developed a full range of women’s cycling pads to support the female anatomy and their cycling needs.
The Unique Anatomy
Every female cyclist brings her own distinct anatomical requirements to the saddle—differences that extend beyond the simple male-female divide. As women age, these variations become even more significant, directly impacting both comfort and performance.
Our extensive research reveals a crucial truth: effective women’s cycling protection must account for individual anatomical differences while providing consistent support across various riding positions.
The Personal Preference Factor
Some riders seek comprehensive protection across all pressure points, while others prioritize relief in specific areas. This diversity in preferences has fueled our mission to develop versatile solutions catering to each female cyclist’s unique needs.
Then the Elastic Interface® R&D department proceeded to collect feedback and developed three different solutions, each one designed to answer the specific needs of women with regards to comfort and protection. The result was identifying three main “groups”: women who need proper central support, those who need a main area of pressure relief, and the intermediate ones. Ready to discover them? Keep reading.
WP1
It is the construction that has existed from the very beginning. It is made for women who want full protection, with a more substantial and continuous support throughout the perineal area.
The pelvic tract area is developed to support the rotation of the pelvic bones while pedaling, and paddings are skillfully placed according to anthropometrical parameters.
This construction is found in all ranges: whether for spin classes, MTB trails, long distance rides on and off-road, or a stylish urban wear, the WP1 range is represented in every category.
WP2
The WP2 construction is perfect for ultracycling and extra-long distance rides, one that speaks of high performance: with this solution we created a pressure relief zone by using lower density foams in the perineal area, while guaranteeing the same support and protection of always throughout the rest of the pad.
It features inserts with the highest density, but with a central little insert that relieves pressure. To sum up, the WP2 is for women who prefer a highly protective pad yet do NOT want to experience numbness, especially when in the road position.
WP3
WP3 is the latest addition to the woman’s range: it is intended for women who are extremely sensitive to compression. Additional relief is delivered by using thinner and lower density foams, minimizing pressure.
In this solution, the ischiatic padding is raised and the perineal area features a medium-density padding. The pelvic tract area is developed to support the rotation of the pelvic bones while pedaling, and paddings are skillfully placed according to anthropometrical parameters.
Continuous Innovation
Our commitment to advancing women’s cycling comfort drives persistent research and development. By staying attuned to the evolving needs of female cyclists, we continuously refine our products, ensuring every rider finds her perfect match within our range.
Personalized Performance
The horizon of women’s cycling protection points toward increasingly personalized solutions. Our three-tier approach represents just the beginning of a journey toward truly customized cycling comfort for every woman who rides.
Our mission is simple yet profound: ensuring every female cyclist finds the perfect protection solution for her unique body and riding style. Because when it comes to cycling comfort, it truly is “To Each Her Own”.
