Best seat I've ever had

I'm an avid city dweller. I ride 10 km a day almost every day. I prefer cruisers or upright hybrid bikes. For me, this is one of the best seats I've tried (and I've tried many). The only problem is that the seat is a bit wide and jeans rip easily (if you don't know what I mean, feel free to ignore). So you'll either need to get some special bike gear or be prepared to make lots of trips to the dry cleaners to get those pants fixed.

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Requires outlet

Good saddle but not right for me

I am what they call a "husky" at 5ft 10" and 230 pounds. There was nothing wrong with this saddle and it was comfortable, but the ventilation system that sets this particular model apart is a hard plastic duct that sits relatively high in the void. It was essentially compressing things I was trying to avoid. In the end, I settled on a saddle that offers a completely empty gap (Serfas RX Men's Bike Saddle - RX-921). But if you're not worried about compression issues, this saddle definitely blewโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Unreliable

Excellent --- but . not perfect

I swapped out the stock Bontrager Evoke 1 saddle for more ventilation and more comfort for long rides. I was not disappointed. I was amazed at its comfort and was very happy with it. But on a steep, semi-technical descent, I had to slide back and push the saddle to keep control and . I couldn't go back in. A little far behind! Overall a great, comfortable and well-built saddle, but a bit wide for technical trails. It's time to take a look at something new. I tend towards the Selle Italia Maxโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others

Saddles are wider than stock, well ventilated

Bought hoping to relieve the uncomfortable pressure of long rides on my factory saddle. It's great for short rides, but I've found that on longer rides the seat feels wide and now my butt just hurts elsewhere. The ventilation is pretty cool and you will definitely feel the difference in a non-ventilated seat. Pretty light and easy to install. I just wish it was narrower or the two "bulges" of the saddle were flat. While this seems to relieve the male parts when kicking, you definitely feel each

Pros
  • Certified

  • No Instructions

Amazingly comfortable seat.

I ride Claydesdale and am amazed at how comfortable this seat can be, especially given my weight and the rough terrain underneath a mountain bike. The center groove helps eliminate this "numbโ€ feeling. Area.", a problem some riders might have. It's wide enough, but also wide enough that it can rub. However, I always recommend getting the seat right before you buy a seat. Keep that in mind that any saddle should support your sit bones properly a better fit.Now for the bad and I assume this isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Not sure

Great, comfortable seat!

The original saddle for my Specialized Cross Trail Elite Hybrid was stiff and not very wide - in short, I felt uncomfortable on my bike rides. After a few months I got the seat cover with gel padding for more comfort, however it did move a bit while riding and over time the seams on the side frayed from rubbing with the pants. When looking for a replacement, I wanted a saddle with some padding and a wider width than my original, and the Respiro Moderate fitted the bill perfectly. The gel pad is

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Damaged

Sit in the seat, don't drive

I've been driving for over 50 years. I drove from San Francisco to San Luis Obispo in the early 1970's and didn't see a single motorcyclist on that trip. The long days are long and can be stressful. On road bikes I used Brooks. They are tough and unforgiving. I've since switched (in my madness) to mountain biking as the wrist flexion required is not as painful as the flexion required in road biking. Mountain bikes have had a variety of seats, but seats have been a nuisance lately. At over 200โ€ฆ

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Empty
