Review on 🚴 Men's Black/Silver Planet Bike A.R.S. Standard Bicycle Seat by Chris Hart

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Comfortable but not perfect

I bought this bike saddle after the most uncomfortable 50 mile bike ride of my life. I mounted it on my Trek road bike, replacing a Trek 147mm Montrose. I've now covered about 300 miles in 12 rides. The saddle is definitely more comfortable for my tailbone than my old saddle. This may be partly due to the wider width of this saddle (157mm) and partly to the padding. The reason I can't give it 5 stars is because; 1. The seat is not anatomically designed for a male driver. The front of the seat is too high and I have to tilt the saddle down to avoid chafing/discomfort. 2. For some reason this saddle cuts off circulation more than my old saddle. Every 30 minutes or less I have to take the weight off the saddle and shake my arms to relieve the numbness in them. I used to be able to drive more than 2 hours without this problem.
