$45.00 | | Purchased At: | bicycle jims, jupiter | | Strengths: | extremely comfortable | | Weaknesses: | confirm other review - the covering. but the bike store orders me a new cover for $5 every 18 or 24 months. | | Bottom Line: | i can actually use my bike for long rides without fear and apprehension. to the devil with those worthless seats from the underworld, along with the memories.
this is an excellent seat. expect the stock cover to disintegrate after a year or two of use. no worries, just order a new cover. could be the newer models have a durable cover, i couldn't tell you as i'm not planning on replacing this seat any time soon. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$26.00 | | Purchased At: | University Cyclery | | Strengths: | Comfortable, Cheap | | Weaknesses: | Could use a tougher cover. I'm lucky to not have ripped the lycra yet. | | Bottom Line: | Great seat if you're on a budget. Really comfortable for the price. It's not the slickest thing out on the trails, but it gets the job done. My only complaint is the lycra/spandex covering. I feel like I should be overly cautious about letting it get wet or ripping the cover on one of those unexpected meetings with branches and thorns. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$30.00 | | Purchased At: | Gift | | Strengths: | comfortable for the long rides, wider saddle, good quality | | Weaknesses: | little heavy (if you're concerned about weight), style (not as chic as a racing seat) | | Similar Products Used: | stock Bontrager, several aftermarket saddles | | Bike Setup: | Canadian Edition Gary Fisher Marlin (basically the '06 Piranha) with some other upgrades | | Bottom Line: | As a bigger guy, I find racing style seats can be a real pain in the rear during or after long rides. I mean really, a 6' tall 200+ lb guy is going to wear a 5" wide racing seat like a hard plastic thong after a decent ride.
At 7" wide and with a gel top, this seat is a lot more comfortable. It narrows to a decent nose so that you can still handle the technical stuff but provides excellent support and padding for other parts of the anatomy for when you're just riding around town.
It may not be as sexy as a racing seat, but it is comfy and doesn't interfere when you're on your favorite trail. Add to that the fact, as another reviewer stated, it "protects future generations" and it's a pretty darn good saddle. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Riding an extra 10 miles now is much easier as my prior seat would beat me to death or I'd end up standing up most of the time. Makes the nice coastal rides much more enjoyable now. Gel works great. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$24.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | Soft. Feels like sitting in a Cadillac when riding. Big difference from my expensive 'racing' seat. Screw that, I don't race, I want to be comfortable enough to go the distance - this seat does if for me. | | Weaknesses: | ???? | | Similar Products Used: | WTB Rocket V; Avenir products; Bontrager | | Bike Setup: | Giant NRS 2, Wellgo Flats, Cateye light, Cateye computer. | | Bottom Line: | Fantastic. Screw that skinny cardboard shi#. I like to be comfortable as I trek and this seat makes the difference. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: July 28, 2004 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Strengths: | Lycra, semi comfortable | | Weaknesses: | steel raillings, butt gets tense | | Similar Products Used: | any other spandex lycra saddle | | Bike Setup: | Kona doc dew. This saddle and Truvativ XR stem replaced the stock components. | | Bottom Line: | I got this seat as a gift. I think this seat was good, not great but pretty good. At first I found it very comfortable for I was using a road seat. Then after I got used to it my rear still felt a bit tense(like when you stretch it). It wasn't complete pain but agravating. Luckily that sensation goes away as I stand. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$22.00 | | Purchased At: | Freewheelin Bike Shop | | Strengths: | Cost. Compare other saddles at $50. Comfort. Very comfortable for long rides, a blessing to my butt after a Coda 900 'racing' seat. Company. Serfas is well known and produces excellent products. Groove. The Groove, acts like a split to reduce numbness, added comfort, and protects important items *cough*. Most newer saddles are designed this way for a reason. Older 'classic' saddles can be dangerous to your future offspring they say... So, yes, great grooves. Did I mention the price? Go to Freewheelin, they are good people.
Recommended by other users. | | Weaknesses: | A little big, but its trade off is comfort. Not the 'coolest' looking seat out, but who is looking underneath your butt anyway? Plus for the cost, I think it looks great! | | Similar Products Used: | Many MTB Seats Used. | | Bike Setup: | Cannondale F5. | | Bottom Line: | Excellent product. When you consider the price, its a smart buy. Highly recommended to frugal riders seeking comfort versus style. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Loved it so much I bought a 3rd for a spare on ebay (was a real deal) | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
