Review on 🚴 Enhanced Performance Saddle for Men by Serfas RX by Joe Griggs

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great saddle seat

This is definitely an improvement over the seat I got when I originally bought the bike (it's not a cheap bike). I would call it a work seat that you would use for long rides and want to benefit from a much more comfortable and breathable seat than your racing boards. At the same time, it does not distract from the active type or sporty driving. When I notice this, and even to a very small extent, the seat cushion lifts you higher than flatter seats that are easy to adjust with the seatpost. When riding in a more performance oriented posture where there is a slight grip between the legs (inner thighs) as the hips move back to accommodate the incline, particularly when descending steep hills. It's not that the seat is much wider - it's some sort of material that's more fibrous or textured than your stock seats, which tend to be smoother plastic. For me, this is a very small problem and hardly noticeable. The seat feels solidβ€”at least so far and after about 500 miles on it. As you can see from the product description, it is essentially two parts of the seat, the left and right halves, with the two parts being connected by semi-flexible plastic. It appears that the plastic shell is the weak link in the seat design, although as mentioned there have been no issues or signs of cracking, general wear and tear, etc. Also, I would like to add that the flexibility of the inner sleeve allows for more comfortable riding, easily adapting to your movements. At the same time, the clutch does not flex much - it is only slightly give. At this point, knowing the construction of the seat and my experience with it, I would buy it again and recommend it.
