Performance Comfort

On: 2008-10-06

Even though this seat is a gel seat, it still feels like a serious performance seat. The picture makes the seat look fairly wide, but the reality is it has more of a racing saddle profile than a cruiser seat. I have yet to take it on a long trip, but I believe it will alleviate some discomfort. I think Ill still need to work on developing muscles in certain key areas though!

Better but not quite

A big improvement over the stock saddle I was riding but less comfortable than I wished it were but then what I really want is a tractor seat.

not the best thing

it is good nut be careful after 10 days the padding with the gel started coming off, now it is not that comfy anymore.

good seat for obese person

On: 2008-08-25

I am obese and this seat, while not actually cushy, does not hurt my derriÃ¨re while riding. I did not want a huge cushy seat on my racing style bike so this is a great compromise between size and comfort. Great for the size and price.

Great value.

I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of this saddle, given how inexpensive it is. It is compact and comfortable, definitely softer than the standard saddles, although it may not be the softest money can buy.

Overall, a great value. My only regret is that I did not get two.

good product for price

I thought this seat would be a little wider than I anticapated. from the look of the pic it looks like a mixture between a regular bike seat and a cruiser seat. its just a regular seat still pretty firm but well built and light.

Not very comfortable

On: 2008-02-11

I bought this seat to replace the standard small seat that came with my Schwinn exercise bike which is about 15 years old. I had been using a much wider padded more comfortable
seat that I bought about 5 years ago. When I had the seat correctly adjusted at the bike shop (I was slipping down onto the thin end of the seat) it proved too wide at the thighs and I was getting aches in my legs so I put the original seat back and it rode much better with no pain but was hard and uncomfortable on my rear..

The seat I purchased does have the gel on the back but the seat itself is like riding a toothpick. This is a good reason to look at the product in person before buying it.
It wouldnt be cost effective for me to send it back though.. Maybe on a bike that is to be ridden outdoors it would be better but I doubt it..

Good cheap seat.

My 15 year old seat was worn torn and ugly and I saw this on sale so I bought it. Its about as uncomfortable as the old seat on my 10 speed but it sure looks a lot nicer. The seat is pretty firm, so lighter people may not get much cushioning out of the padding. You do have to tighten the snot out of the bolts otherwise it will tilt after its mounted. You can flip the mounting bracket and slide the seat forward or backward on the rails to fine tune your reach to the bars.

Bike seat

This seat is great for long bike trips. I biked 180 miles in 5 days and I did not start feeling the effects of being on a bike for a long time until day 3.

Budget for your bottom.

I tried out my new saddle today and rode 4 hours on it. It was a very comfortable ride throughout and for the price I would definitely recommend it. The seat has a very cushy feel, but I wouldnt claim it as being "pillow soft."

Great saddle

Saddle is great for me. I ride my bike to work daily so I only do a few miles a day. Seat works great and is comfortable. Be sure to tighten it well-was a bit loose the first day I was riding and it was tilting up and down on bumpy roads---not fun. Once I tightened it up it has been great.

Great Price: Great Product!!!

After receiving the product, which was fast and without problems, I installed the product on my bike.

I AM NOW 100% satisfied. The product is soft, comfortable, and easy to adjust to fit me accurately.

Before, I couldnt ride my bike without having pain from sitting; now its as comfortable as a pillow.

MY Wiife and I are appreciative of such good customer service and a reliable product.

not as soft as id hoped, but still great- i think once i use my bike more and wear the seat in itll be geat- or maybe if i weighed more it would be more comfortable ( my boyfriend likes it)- still worth it though-
