Comfy but not for strong riders

On: 2008-08-29

This is an extremely comfy saddle. The spring action and padding soak up every little bump, and you get no pain on your sit bones. The cut-out for the male seat is the largest Ive seen and that is a huge benefit. The only problem with this saddle is that it is more of a cruiser saddle and strong riders will find that it restricts leg movement causing some pain in the back-inner thigh. Ill probably be buying the next smaller size as that seems more fitting for my style of riding (15-30 miles on paved paths, moderate hills).

Works Great

I had my doubts because it did not have a review, but its been working great for me since I received it mid-June. No more numbness, and I did not think it was possible due to my weight. Many times you dont realize its there, and that is what you want.

Great saddle

This is a great saddle. My hind end feels better after long bike rides, and hopefully it wont cause "male problems" that can possible result from lots of bike riding.

My one complaint is that it is so thick that it significantly changes the sizing of my bike. My seat was already down as far as it could go...so now I have trouble getting on the seat. Im strongly considering getting a smaller frame just to accomodate the new saddle.
