Takes a week to get used to

On: 2008-10-09

The seat arrived and it didnt come with brackets to fit on my bike so i took it to the bike shop. When it was installed i tried riding it and it was very uncomfortable but i thought Id stick with it and after about a week it is the most comfortable seat Ive ever used. When they say it eliminates the pressure from the perineum area. Its 100% true after a week with this seat no numbness just a soft, cool looking ride.

Saddle Mania

Hi: I think throughout the years I must have tried at least a dozen different saddles. Four have been the "hornless type." The main problem with most of the hornless type is that you slip off a lot until you get used to them. This means you work much harder just staying on the seat and peddling is more difficult. But, even then they are best for touring without a lot of "heavy" peddling.

This one, HOWEVER is a nice blend of the "modified" horn and comfort saddle. The "safety space," as I like to call it at the front of the saddle, really does its job in protecting us guys. I really like it!

My only complaint, as with every saddle that I have used is: make the seat with a thick gel pack for us more mature folks.

When I push hard [peddle], I actually get lifted or "pushed off" the seat.If you are more muscular "back there" you will notice what I mean right away.

Makes balance a little more difficult. Takes some getting used to. But I REALLY DO LIKE THE OVERALL COMFORT and FUNCTION of the seat. Far less "pain" and discomfort. (I adapted a gel seat pad to fit.) GOOD PRODUCT!!!

Great saddle

I now have 2 ISM sport saddles and 3 ISM touring saddles on various bikes that we own in our family, and Im convinced that theyre the best out there. One caveat is that the saddle is most comfortable with a pronounced forward tilt, and not all seat post clamps have sufficient range to allow this.

When I lend my bike to a friend, they find it initially unsettling to not have a saddle nose, but then they get used to it and appreciate not having the saddle nose press into their pelvis. Ive taken rides up to 60 miles and have exactly no saddle soreness or numbness.

Though the seat is a bit smaller than I imagined, it actually works well. Great product. Excellent purchase experience.

Saddle is as advertised. Came on time; installation was easy and it worked as planned. Balance on bicycle is not as secure as with a regular seat. After several minor adjustments, the seat works fine.
