Review on 🚲 Velo Bio: Wide Channel Bicycle Saddle by Dre Fowler

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Actually has a useful WIDE channel

I was misled by many bike saddle reviews until I came here. Many saddle reviews are written by people in padded shorts who swear the thinner and lighter the saddle, the better. I'm a pretty serious driver, but I wear jeans, cargo shorts, or basketball shorts when I drive. Those skinny "racing saddles" just don't work. at any great distance. (30+ miles) I just don't have enough spacers between these saddles and the "torso". There are many saddles that have a "groove" or "channel" down the middle to make the step easier, which I've tried, but none of them are wide enough to really give you full range of motion. Luckily this saddle has a nice wide channel (that goes all the way to the nose) that really gives you space and ventilation. Point. (and who doesn't appreciate ventilation as a bonus?) Plus, the cushioning is just right for sit bones without impeding pedaling motion. It's not really for people who count grams on their bikes and are really trying to make themselves aero and all, but it's a very comfortable saddle.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Crumpled
