Review on 🚲 LINGMAI Oversized Bike Seat with Soft Cushion for Men and Women, Enhancing Comfort for Mountain Bike and Road Bicycle Exercise by Daniel Ogbebor

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Super comfortable and vastly improved over the standard seats for this tall rider

I'm 6ft 5in, weigh 250lbs and have replaced a 20 year old "standard" bike seat with a mid priced one. Mountain bike with this one for casual everyday road riding. The old one was fine for riding once a week (okay, a month) but for something daily it was a pain (I'm a little embarrassed to admit it as there was a point in my life when I didn't need anything comfortable since most rides were on real trails.) In any case, it's really amazing how well built it is, especially at this price point. , and the material is quite grippy, so it's not at all ideal for off-road driving - you can't slide on it and move quickly, which may be necessary for "real" driving, but for smooth surfaces in suburban billiards it is amazing - very comfortable. It looks relatively understated compared to the comfort of the seats, so I don't feel like it screams "oldie" from a mile away. It has just the right amount of padding, and while I can't comment on durability, it lasted a few days of riding and my first impression is that it will definitely last at least a few years of half-day riding. . No crazy out of frame squeaks or groans, even under my slightly oversized load. Considering the low price and my larger size, this is a steal. Installation was easy - I just used standard 14mm wrenches to unscrew the old one from the frame and put this on. It came with some crappy tools and I think you could use them as a last resort but I wouldn't include them in the cost equation. I'm glad I bought it, it really got rid of the training hurdle that came up for me.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No performance
