Which Is Fastest? | When & Why You Should Ride Out Of The Saddle

When should you ride in the saddle and when should you ride out of it? For a lot of us, it’s based on feeling, but there’s actually science to it that could make you ride faster and more efficiently. Si delves into the research and tests out the theory against Ollie on the new Wahoo KICKR MOVE to see the impact of seated vs standing riding on power, heart rate and perceived exertion.
