Review on 🚴 Discover the Unmatched Comfort of the Selle Anatomica X1 - The Ultimate Cycling Saddle by Macaiah Arreola

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Squeaky, squeaky saddle and not as comfortable as advertised

I have been riding a Brooks saddle for a long time but after buying a new bike I decided to go with a Selle. I realized that the original owner had died in a car accident and wanted to support them. Unfortunately, there is no mutual support. After reading about the out of the box comfort, I was shocked to find that breaking in was no easier than the Brooks. If it's too soft, the male needs to be careful not to let his privates hang down between the leather flaps, because they will. If it's taut, it's sturdy leather like Brooks. Now, after a few months of riding, the saddle squeaks with every step on the pedal. It's so annoying and obvious I thought my bike was in trouble. I called Sella and asked for a return but I was categorically denied. Your solution is to oil the underside of the saddle. In over 20 years of Brooks I've never had a problem and never had a squeak that needed greasing. I cannot and will not recommend Selle to anyone looking to buy it.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Running speed
