Review on πŸš€ ISM PR 2.0 Saddle with Enhanced SEO by Alex Panda

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fine but not for me

If you have any deafness problems this will make it go away I guarantee you. I've tried many other saddles, even Cobb models, and nothing has worked like ISM. However, I find this saddle too wide for me at the nose between the thighs. I set it up as instructed, put it back, lowered it, and tilted it down to keep my business going. I ended up having issues with chafing and severe discomfort along my buttocks no matter how I positioned them. And for some reason even my sit bones hurt a lot even though my pelvis is tilted forward when I ride in the semi-aero position. The discomfort may subside over time, but causes deeper bruising and irritation that is a cause for concern. I tried the ISM PN 3.0 and it solved ALL of these problems - I've never had a more comfortable saddle. And still zero deafness. Interestingly, I found that the 40 series foam on PR2.0 felt firmer than the 30 series foam on PN 3.0. My only complaint is that the PN 3.0 isn't wide enough in the rear to allow for an upright riding position, while the PR 2.0 is much better for upright riding. But since I mostly ride aero bars, flex on hoods or drops, that's not really a problem. I can see how this saddle will perform for the right physiology. But if you find split nose saddles bothering you, it probably won't work.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Hard to say
