Review on 🚲 Velo Bio: Wide Channel Bicycle Saddle by Johnathan Sherman

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works as advertised.

I've been a keen cyclist for over 5 years. I recently bought an old 90's road bike that I used to ride with a rigid frame and a slightly longer top tube. On bumpy country roads, my rear end took the brunt of the road. In order to avoid numbness or hemorrhoids from a hard saddle, I decided not to use my road bike for the time being. That's when I came across this saddle at Revain. I've already ridden a few rides without padded cycling shorts. The saddle soaks up all the bumps in the road and my butt feels good after 20 miles of riding. A small flaw is the nose of the saddle. It's a bit wider, so I have to pedal with my feet wider apart, which reduces pedaling efficiency at first. After several rides I started adjusting the pedal travel and now I don't notice any difference. It's a good $30 investment so far and has saved me from having to sell my bike.

Pros
  • GOLS-certified
