Legitimate ISM saddle, the best in cycling

ISM saddle is sold by ISM with 30% off the price on their website?!?! Yeah right! I was sure it was fake but unfortunately it has a holographic authenticity stamp, ISM packaging and a serial number and it looks like an Adamo. So even if it's fake, it's still very good!

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Some little things

Short version wins seats & saddles

I have been using the ism prologue for many years and have decided to stick with the shorter version. So happy I did. It really disappears underneath you as if it weren't there. It's comfortable and gives me good stability. The shorter version works well on the mountain. I actually like it more.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons

Don't think, just buy

Amazing. If you encounter any kind of collision with your junk, look no further and get it. I also rode it with no padded shorts (I'm halfway through the Ironman) and felt good and dandy. Sure, it hurts a bit the next day, but I can still ride without soft shorts again. Don't think, just buy

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Doubtful

The numbness is gone! good for parts and components

This saddle has a very different feel and will definitely need some adjustment to the new fit. Until then, expect pain and new spots. However, having ridden a few hundred miles on my tricycle with this new saddle, I can confidently attest to its effectiveness in relieving nerve and vascular compression. I used to get along fine with a traditional saddle, but as it wore out all the other new saddles I tried gave me problems. My previous saddle is no longer manufactured. I am an experiencedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • handy item
Cons
  • clarity

EXCELLENT when properly adjusted

Works as advertised. Completely solves a man's numbness and has plenty of padding for long rides (although I also wear gel shorts). I have also used this saddle on my tri bike with aero bars and very thin shorts, it worked great for a 16 mile triathlon (very low/bent riding position). BUT you can adjust the level if you use the board on the whole seat. The instructions clearly state that the front forks must be level to drop the nose down slightly. and VERY uncomfortable. Don't ask me how Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Reliability

Good but tricky to break in

The ISM PS1.1 is a new brand of the old Adamo Road saddle. I've ordered both (apart from the ISM rebranding being really confusing as both saddles are in development) and the only notable changes are a slight taper of the shoulders and a slightly grippier saddle cover on the PS1.1. As for the saddle itself, there's definitely no free lunch here to endure the pressure of your soft parts, your weight being transferred to your arms and sit bones. The first few longer rides were quite painful as Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide
