Review on πŸš€ ISM PR 2.0 Saddle with Enhanced SEO by Mike Robinson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best place so far.

One of the best places I've ever tried. I have to admit that when I first tried it I was afraid it would be too hard. I chose this model because it's foam and gel and I thought it would be softer than just the foam version, the Typhoon. But after a few rides and adjustments (check out the ISM installation video on first install) it's become one of the most comfortable seats I've tried. I have aero bars on my bike and my regular seat just gave me too much groin pain and I was numb after one ride (I'm female) spending too much time in the aero. I put it on my bike while on the trainer and rode about 30 miles in this seat, no numbness and I didn't notice any "hardness" of the seat after a few rides. I took it outside for 30 miles (finally!) and it was perfectly comfortable. I did have a few hot spots towards the end of the ride, but it might just be friction from the suede. I highly recommend this seat. I rode on the aerobars more with this seat than any other seat, but riding in a more upright position was fine too. No numbness when getting off the bike. On one of my training days, I do a brick workout: I do a 30-minute ride, then a 30-minute run, and I do that ride without suede running shorts, and I'm fine. In fact, I think a less bulky suede would have helped with the hot spots I mentioned earlier. I have used Terry saddles, Selle SMP and Bontrager in the past. This is by far the most comfortable seat of all. Terry was ok but not that good for riding in an aero position. I don't think everyone will like this chair, but I do.
