Description
The ISM Pl 1.0 is a performance-focused saddle built around ISM's signature split-nose design, which reduces pressure on soft tissue during sustained efforts. Whether you're grinding Bhor Ghat, logging base miles around Hyderabad's Outer Ring Road, or preparing for a brevet out of Pune, saddle choice is one of the few decisions that directly determines how long you stay on the bike. Cobbled Climbs is the authorised retailer for Time in India.
Use Cases
Daily training. Reliable use across Indian training conditions — heat, humidity, and rough tarmac.
Race day. Performance-grade construction for competitive efforts.
Long rides. Built for full-day rides across Western Ghats, Sahyadri, or Nilgiri climbs.
Our Take
ISM's split-nose geometry addresses a problem that becomes more acute in Indian conditions: prolonged perineal pressure on rides that stretch well past three hours in 35°C+ heat. The Pl 1.0 sits in ISM's performance range, designed for riders who spend serious time in an aggressive position. Give it five to six rides before forming a verdict — the geometry shift takes adjustment, but the payoff for long-distance and sportive riders is real.
Sizing for Indian Riders
ISM saddles fit differently from conventional designs — the split nose means fore-aft position requires repositioning slightly further forward than you might expect. Sit-bone width remains your starting point (typically 130–155mm for Indian riders). In humid conditions across Chennai or Kolkata, a synthetic-cover saddle breathes better than leather alternatives. When in doubt, size up on width rather than down.
Compatibility Notes
The ISM Pl 1.0 uses a standard rail configuration compatible with 7×7mm seatpost clamps. Ensure your seatpost diameter matches your frame — common sizes are 27.2mm, 30.9mm, and 31.6mm. For carbon-rail variants, use a carbon-compatible clamp and observe manufacturer torque specifications carefully to avoid rail damage.
Pairs Well With
Complete your contact-point setup with quality padded bib shorts for long-distance comfort, a layback or setback seatpost suited to your frame, chamois cream for hot and humid Indian summer rides, and a compact saddle bag for essentials on longer routes through the Western Ghats or Coorg.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ISM Pl 1.0 best used for?
The ISM Pl 1.0 is designed for performance road cycling, sportive events, and long-distance training rides where riders maintain an aggressive, forward-leaning position for extended periods. Its split-nose design is particularly well suited to riders logging multi-hour efforts — think Pune–Mumbai rides, Western Ghats climbs, or full brevet distances — where conventional saddles cause perineal discomfort.
What size ISM Pl 1.0 should I order?
Start with your sit-bone measurement: sit on cardboard, mark the two pressure points, measure between centres, and add roughly 25mm. Most Indian riders land between 130mm and 155mm in saddle width. Note that ISM's split-nose design shifts your effective riding position forward on the rails, so allow extra adjustment room when setting up your seatpost clamp.
Will the ISM Pl 1.0 hold up in Indian heat and monsoon conditions?
The Pl 1.0's synthetic cover performs well in India's heat and humidity, ventilating more effectively than leather in 35°C+ conditions common across Delhi, Chennai, and Hyderabad. During monsoon season, wipe down the saddle after wet rides and store it away from prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the shell and cover material over time.
How does the ISM Pl 1.0 compare to a conventional road saddle?
Unlike a conventional saddle with a continuous nose, the ISM Pl 1.0's split-nose design removes material where soft-tissue pressure typically builds on longer rides. This requires a small position adjustment — riding slightly further forward — but riders who make that transition consistently report lower pressure and less numbness on rides beyond two hours compared to traditional saddle shapes.
Is the ISM Pl 1.0 worth Rs. 18,699 in India?
For riders who spend three or more hours per session in an aggressive position, a performance saddle that reduces discomfort has a direct impact on training consistency and ride enjoyment. At Rs. 18,699, the Pl 1.0 sits in the mid-to-premium range for road saddles available in India. Cobbled Climbs offers free delivery on orders above Rs. 2,500 and cash on delivery nationwide.
