Review on 🚴 Enhance Your Cycling Experience with Bell Comfort 525 Sport Bicycle Seat by Ron Long

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good price, surprisingly comfortable

Note that not all bicycle seats/saddles attach to the upright bar in the same way; There is no universal fit for all brands and models. This saddle attaches directly to the post with a bolt clamp to hold it in place. If this guy is on your bike, it will fit. However, high-end bikes often have their own mounting systems. My bike is a Specialized and the seat buckle is designed to attach directly to the two horizontal support bars under the seat. You can unscrew the post clamp that comes with this Bell seat with a vise or pliers to compress the part that holds the post. At the Specialized post attachment point, the Bell seatpost bars are spaced 1 7/8 inches apart (measured at the center of the bars), which is exactly the spacing they were on my Specialized seat, allowing the new saddle to fit. Big. The Bell saddle itself is comfortable and of very good quality, with a center cut-out. It's not exactly the same dimensions as my old Specialized, a bit shorter and wider, but it's not noticeable in the saddle and is supportive and comfortable enough for long rides. And the kicker: the Specialized replacement saddle is $160, which is a lot less.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • old
