🪑 Comfort and Style Combined: Ism PM 2.0 Saddle in Sleek Black Review

Love this seat. I had the same old model almost 20 years old at the time. In the end I decided to switch to a new one. It is very comfortable and offers the same secure seatpost fit as other ISM models. I also have no problem with a dropper post on my hardtail (although YMMV). Highly recommended.

Excellent protection where you need it. I've ridden up to 20 miles round trip and have no pain. Keep in mind the purpose of the saddle nose. It may take some getting used to when trying the hands-free position on the steering wheel. I was pleasantly surprised and quickly switched to the steering wheel. A fantastic addition to my bike, a real relief from a sore spot that needed attention.

What can I say, I've been riding this seat for a few months now and I'm amazed at how comfortable it is. I'm a big guy and my butt hurts on long trips. This chair is a dream compared to others I've bought. I ride the Old San Juan Trail in Orange County, California. This is a very technical and difficult route. This seat articulates, I can sit down and turn it, or by leaning forward slightly it slides behind me and I can let the bike go forward without getting stuck. Long trips feel great. I…

If you're looking at this, you probably already know the merits of ISM road saddles. So this saddle shape is an improvement over the standard saddle as it doesn't get in the way in technical areas and yet improves saddle comfort enormously.

I can't express how much I love my PM 2.0 saddle. I have been walking with discomfort and "numbness" for years. This finally solved those problems. I have narrow sit bones and I've always been told that a narrow butt makes sense, right? Not correct! It takes all the stress out of my perenium. That's incredible. The wide/short nose allows me to push fully forward - I almost mean the edge but still feel grounded. As a result, I have a huge range of motion, from stretching for aero and flat power…

I have experienced groin numbness when riding and have had issues with chafing and discomfort. I have an ISM PN 3.0 and have tried several other saddles from them (PN 3.1, PN 4.0, PR 2.0) and other split nose options (Cobb JOF 55, Randee, Tenance; Shimano Stealth). I know how to set them up correctly and sit on the bow as intended. They have all caused me distress in one way or another, be it numbness, irritation or both. I was ready to give up road driving but decided to give it another try…
