Samantha McGlone

"I first tried the ISM saddle to correct an imbalance in my bike position that had led to a serious Achilles injury. The unique design ensures that I always sit neutrally in the saddle with a more even weight distribution. This eliminated the source of the injury and allowed me to return to Ironman racing as a stronger, more efficient athlete."
