Review on Selle Anatomica X2 Black Silver by Minas Chase

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Classic look and exceptional comfort

I will only ride Selle Anatomica seats. I have 4 bikes and ride hundreds of miles a year plus a few 100k and 100 mile races. Cycling shorts and suede oil are a must, but the wrong bike seat hurts no matter what you do. Since slimming down with Selle Anatomica I have never again experienced numbness, chafing or bruising in my sit bones. Perhaps the lack of padding seems counterintuitive, but the leather seat holds and supports the vulva, and a slit in the center of the seat allows for some airflow. The wide padded seat frankly looks unnatural and just splays the cheeks, creating a new kind of discomfort. SA works with your natural anatomy. Squeezing the hard but still soft narrow seat into the gap is terrible and still thicker than SA leather. The tension of the SA leather can be adjusted, but don't do it too soft or you risk falling on the seatpost. Check the seat for tension from time to time and tighten if necessary. I protect the skin from the weather during storage or transport. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Hard to say
