Review on 🚴 Enhanced Performance Saddle for Men by Serfas RX by Fred Novak

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Goodbye pain and numbness

I ordered Lycra but received microfiber (no complaints here). This is a huge improvement over my stock unpadded leather mountain bike saddle, which was causing me pain after just a few minutes of riding. Since installing this saddle I have ridden several times for 30 minutes with no pain or numbness. After that time I would definitely experience pain and possibly numbness with my previous saddle. I'm sure everything will be fine if I increase my rides to 1 hour (I'll give an update if this isn't the case). This saddle is about two inches wider at the rear than my original saddle. I was concerned about the size before purchasing as they also make a slim version for high performance riding but this doesn't seem to affect my performance. However, I'm not a racer, just an occasional racer, mostly on solid ground. I hope the microfiber is durable and lasts a long time. If not, the comfort is worth paying extra for.** UPDATE **After an hour and a half of driving, my muscles are a little sore the next day. It was definitely comfortable to drive, but it's important to note that you can't expect to drive forever and not feel anything. I'm very happy that I didn't feel any numbness during the whole trip, which is the most important aspect. The saddle didn't prevent me from continuing the ride if I wanted to, as has been the case with previous saddles. So I still highly recommend it.
