Review on Selle Italia Diva Gel SuperFlow Road/Mountain Bike Saddle - Comfortable Seat for Women, Black by Ognjen Cao

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Riding a bike can be comfortable - a side saddle used by a man

First let me say something about saddle sizes. Measure your sit bones. There are many easy ways to do this using chalk and a piece of cardboard. Look on YouTube. Base your saddle size on this measurement. There will be nothing exact, but choose the closest size. If you can't find your size in men's saddles, look at women's saddles, they tend to be larger. Men's saddles are designed for lean Italian men weighing 160 pounds with no fat. They don't fit the standard American male. I am 55 years old, 220 pounds and 5'7". I mounted this saddle on my mountain bike after trying a few saddles that others swore were the best. the most comfortable. In general, these were variations on the less uncomfortable. In fact, the bike shop owner advised me to try a side saddle. He didn't name a specific brand, he just mentioned that a lot of people my size find them more comfortable. He just loved it! The large cutout in this chair allows air and blood to flow. I don't have to stop after 45 minutes or an hour to restore circulation to my lower body. I have excellent blood flow to the male parts, which has always been an issue with other saddles. I don't even think about it when I'm pedaling uphill for a while. My sit bones are on the padded portion of the seat and I can keep pedaling without getting up to get some relief. .If you are looking for a really comfortable ride, I highly recommend you try this model. . You can easily get it back through Revain. There is no reason to suffer.
