🚲 Origin8 Lite Classic Saddle Review

Comfortable saddle. Narrower than a "tractor seat" (beach cruiser seat) and wider than a road bike/mountain bike saddle. There is about a quarter inch of padding material under the cover. I've ridden about 200 miles in the seat and I'm a big guy. So far no problems. I would buy it again. The brass rivets on the back of the seat are NOT brass. The paint faded and the old steel was revealed. Hopefully they don't rust or my clothes keep them polished enough so they don't rust. I'm not sure if…

I'm only giving 4 stars for durability because I haven't tested it yet. I was recommended this place because I was originally looking for creeks but love a lot. Unless you're a brand snob (for lack of a better term) and it looks good, I think for the price it's your best bet, to be honest. It's not the most comfortable seat I've had, but it's amazing how comfortable it is. For the price I can definitely do long tours without any problems. Overall I am very satisfied and if quality/price are the

First off, don't compare it to Brooks. I have 4 Brooks seats on different bikes and they are fantastic. I bought a black one for my son who didn't want to spend a hundred or two for a seat. It was so good I bought it for my bike. They both look lovely and the black one probably looks a little prettier, but they both look great. Ride normally, probably would have had less padding. As for the rivets, I was concerned after one person said they were copper colored plastic. I seem to have copper…

This is absolutely no exaggeration. First, everyone's butt is different. Unfortunately, you won't know if a saddle is right for you until you put your butt on it and ride it for a while. However, I have tried very expensive saddles. I thought I had the perfect saddle before when I finally bit the bullet and slipped a Brooks saddle onto my commuter. I then bought another bike but didn't want to spend another fortune on a weekend warrior bike saddle so after some research I settled on this…

Maybe a fake B-17? Not exactly, but something close. For the price this is a fantastic purchase. I would try one of these before getting a B-17 or even the same Origin8 leather seat for $100 plus the average price. I like the width of the backrest of the seat. The long nose can be a little awkward off-road, but it works for a road bike. I would give four stars instead of five based on the weight of the seat, but if weight is a concern I would upgrade to another seat of the same dimensions. Last

Compared to my Brooks B 17 S for women, turned it upside down on Brooks to compare sizes. The wide part of the saddle at the back is almost the same width and supports the sit bones perfectly. The nose of the saddle is at least an inch longer than my Brooks as every non-female saddle is made. I put this on a bike I don't ride long distances to make it work. The saddle cover IS fine leather according to my tanner husband. The texture of the cover is grainy, not smooth like Brooks. So that…
