comfy and very ride-able, and not fat and ugly

On: 2008-06-01

The bike I bought came with a Biologic hard cheap saddle. My tailbone and [...] was taking a beating not to mention what the arteries that supply my love life, they must have been going though it. I bought one of these on Amazon and immediately bought 2 more after my 1st ride. Id say out of 5 different bikes and 7 saddles Ive owned this was the most comfortable.

Great Saddle!

I just finished my first 50 mile bike ride. I have never been so satisfied as I am with the comfort level provided by this saddle. There is no way I could have comfortably made a ride that long with the saddle that came with my new bike. I would recommend the saddle to anyone who likes to bike some decent distances and who doesnt neccessarily care about every gram of weight they add to their bike. It does add some weight (even though it isnt actually that much weight), but the comfort level far outweighs the actual weight. Give your behind a break, and treat yourself to a great ssaddle!

It hurts!

I bought this saddle for "anatomical relief." But the saddle actually caused more problems. The "neck" of the saddle is wider than that of a normal saddle, and it is higher. So even though there is a hole in the middle of the neck, you feel the neck more as you ride in comparison to a normal saddle. Instead of just cutting off circulation like a normal saddle, it actually causes aching pain that lasts long after Ive stopped riding.

Also, the logos you see on the side of the saddle are decals or stickers that begin wearing and peeling off during the first week of use. Very cheap-looking.

Very comfortable

Ive ridden a couple of times on this saddle and I find it to be quite comfortable so far. It looks a little goofy if your used to sleek narrow saddles, but if youve reached that point in your life where comfort trumps style, this is a good option. Also, you cant beat the price! I priced other "relief" saddles in the bike shop and I really do wonder where they get off asking over $100.

It's OK to pick your seat in public.

Very comfortable. The only thing is,the imprint on the side is "ARS". Well, at least now I know where to park mine when I ride. One word of caution; it does not come with the bracket needed to mount it to the post.

Best seat I've owned

On: 2007-06-21

Over the years, Ive owned everything from Selle San Marco to Specialized Body Geometry, and this seat is seriously the most comfortable seat Ive ever owned. If youre looking for the lightest seat around, this isnt it; mine weighs 390 grams. But if you want to be comfortable for hours on end, buy this seat. I cant recommend it enough. I do my best to keep my mountain bike under 20lbs., so Ive saved weight elsewhere to make up for the extra grams of this seat and its totally worth it. I plan on buying the womens version for my wife soon, too.
