🚲 ISM PN 1.1 Ergonomic Saddle Review

Love the aero fit (on a sneaker) and just tried it. Note that the sit bones are behind the debris when reassembling. I place the sit bones directly on the short nose, with the stuff hanging down in front of the saddle nose. Even with the extra padding it feels pretty stiff on the sit bones, even more so than my Selle Turbo: suede is a must. No numbness after 2 hours of rotation unlike Selle; Any pain in the sit bones disappears quickly after the ride.

So one review says this seat "disappeared" underneath. I don't know, but for me it was MUCH more comfortable than the Specialized and Fizik seats I've trained and used in the past. This seat allowed me to easily ride and train in an aero position with less pinching and irritation. Works fine on my S-Works Shiv. No more numb toes. Much less cream and oil. Easy to install dual bottle cages behind the seat. I plan to buy again for my Cannondale and BMC road bikes.

So far, so good. I'm replacing my 1st generation ISM saddle with this bad boy. I'm a triathlete and this off-season I've treated myself to a new saddle for the upcoming season. I've only ridden the new saddle a few times, but so far I'm really liking it. The saddle is a bit longer than my previous ISM saddle and I'm fine with that. I'm still fiddling with the saddle position, but due to the longer length (compared to my old ISM saddle) I'll try to move the position forward a bit. I have NO…

Followed the setup instructions then made a few adjustments along the way and like magic it feels perfect. With my stock Specialized seat, all of the pressure was on my soft tissue, whether aerobars were installed or lowered, and after 10 miles with this set of seats, all of the pressure was on my butt, right where it should be. I decided to switch because I got a urinary tract infection (UTI) after a week of driving about 100 miles. I did a little research and found that people who ride bikes…

Bicycle saddles are an individual choice. What may seem surprising to one will seem like sitting on a rusty saw to another. It really comes down to your particular shape and how it fits the saddle. Still, this ISM saddle offers a great ride. This was my first split nose saddle. Although commonly used by triathletes, I have mine on my 'regular' Felt road bike and it works great. The forked nose takes enough pressure from the right (wrong?) places, making it very comfortable for long rides. It's…
