Review on 🚲 Black/Silver Men's Planet Bike A.R.S. Spring Bicycle Seat by Matt Ellis

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Seat Cruisers Only, Complete Upright Bikes.

Me: Male, 6', 240 lbs. Bike: Raleigh Redux 1 (Hybrid). Usage: City trips, 12 miles per day. I had two issues with this seat: 1) Seat back: The gel pads are set too wide for comfort. This seat made me realize that wider is not always better. You can read more about sit bones online. 2) Front seat: nose twice as wide, seat cannot be adjusted comfortably. The nose always seems to get in the way. What worked for me: Planet Bike ARS Anatomic Relief Men's Bike Saddle. This solved both the above problems and a cheaper saddle. Note: Bike sizes and body sizes are so different that you need to try some seats.
