a little wider: bicycle seat

comfortable, but a little wider than the previous seat. If you have narrow sit bones, this can cause problems. but overall quite comfortable. as much as a street seat can be. I've ridden it about 250km so far.

So comfortable. The best saddle I've ever had!

For a long time I was in pain after almost an hour of cycling. But with this great saddle I can ride my bike for a few hours without pain. I love it! I recommend this to all women.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Only available in black

Good saddle for parts and components

Very comfortable design, easy to find a middle ground for long journeys. My only problem is the rough edges around the neckline. A slightly rounder lip would have gotten 5 stars from me. I am an avid weekly 70+ mile rider and this is one of my favorite saddles.

Pros
  • All great!
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model

Terribly hard saddle, not for me

I liked the design and size but this is by far the most uncomfortable saddle I've ridden. I'm used to a hard pillow, but it doesn't work at all. If you have sensitivity underneath or anything other than flat sit bones I would look elsewhere.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Negative gift

45 Minute Saddle - Cycling

I ride every week (100+) and love different saddles from the same company. Tried this because of the neckline and the brand. It's wider, stiffer and flatter. The material is very durable. As a result, it causes saddle sores. It hurts after about 45 minutes of driving, even with a lot of oil. Wings rub with every downward movement. Buyer Warning.

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • I will add later

Normal for what it is

Not a bad saddle, not good for long distances. It's not meant to be comfortable, but I need something that offers a little more support. This saddle handles bumps a lot better than I thought as there is less bounce movement. Downgraded because it broke after 7 months of use. I don't think I would have noticed that without a full inspection of my bike.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Something different

Nice saddle shape, slippery surface

I had a bit of a hard time finding a better place to put this saddle because it's a lot slippery on the bottom than anything else I've used before. It's a strange feeling that you don't get used to quickly. After about 40 miles and 5 adjustments I think I get it. It's a good shape for my butt (110mm seat bone, 150mm saddle size). This is the middle ground between a really short saddle, like a special power saddle, and a traditional saddle. The potential benefit is that you can use it to move aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some small things
