Review on ๐Ÿšฒ Velo Bio: Wide Channel Bicycle Saddle by James Cypert

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great little seat on seats and saddles

If I had to put one seat on all my mountain bikes and road bikes for the rest of my life this would definitely be it. While I understand that everyone's butt is different and seating position comes down to personal preference, this is a very, VERY good place to start for riders in the "I'm a little fat but I'm not that fat" category. (That is, between 180 and 220 pounds.) It has a nice channel down the middle that doesn't really do anything for airflow, it just gives your crotch a little room to breathe. The padding is relatively stiff, meaning you won't fall into the seat (causing pressure in all the places you don't want it to). how to get less than 200 dollars. The quality is ok for the price, I found it very cracked after about a month. I just unscrewed the back plastic cover and put it back on and it was all gone, so I'm guessing the screws were just moving there. Also, I haven't had a single broken splint (looks like the reviewer's seat was pinched behind the Max line on the splint). So don't let that bother you! Please keep in mind that every seat is different as everyone is different. Some people say this seat sucks simply because they have weird sit bones or because they have no idea what to look for in a seat. Don't judge until you've tried it, and don't get mad if it's not what you want. It took me 3 attempts to find it. I really wish I could put something like this on my vintage bike but it would ruin the look :(
