Lite 209 Carbon

I have a Nordictrack bike and found the factory seat to be unbearable; when I rode, I would be numb within minutes. After a little research, I found that can have some serious long term effects. A friend recommended this seat to me and it is a game changer! No more numbness, very comfortable, and does not interfere with the high intensity purpose of the bike. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants an affordable replacement seat.

For reference I am a 41yo 260lb male. I bike an average of 20 miles per ride,3-5 x week lasting about 2 hours per ride. I have done about 5 rides (100+miles/10hrs) on this seat. The seat is on a full suspension MTB. I bought this seat to replace my Selle Royal of the same size. Both are fairly comfortable for a guy my size but this seat eliminated 90% of the numbness I was having with the Selle Royal. Compared to a stock seat these are both INSANELY more comfortable. For guy my size this is about a close to perfect I will find. Most people think the bigger/wider the better but then you end up with interference if your pedal stroke and/or chaffing. So there definitely a size limit before it negatively affects your efficiency and begins to create other issues. Good Luck!!

I've never tried an extra wide saddle, but this was an improvement for me. Like other Selle saddles I've owned, the back is flexible and comfortable but the nose is hard as a rock. Watch the videos online on how to determine the best fore/aft position and angle for these saddles. I've spent more than an hour with the bike on a trainer experimenting with different positions. So the rear of my butt hurts much less than before. I would rate the comfort higher if the nose had more padding.

I was having so much trouble with my old seat and decided to try this one......or never ride again! I was really hurting. This seat is amazing!! I have now ridden on 4 rides, all over 30 miles in length (2+ hours) and all my soft tissue discomfort is gone. The change was immediate- I couldn't believe that this seat made that much difference but I'm really glad I looked around and found the seat with the biggest cut-out on the market. Width isn't a problem, gel is nice. Even when I am in the down position on my road bike, it's still comfy. Whew!

I almost had to stop riding my bike because of the severe pain I would feel after about 8 miles. This seat was a desperate attempt to keep riding and IT WORKED!! I am not pain free but it has eliminated at least 80% of the pain and I can totally live with that. This seat is pricey - 1/3 of the price I paid for my folding, portable bike but it was totally worth it to be able to keep riding.

If your crotch is convex, don't mash it, cradle it! These seats beat out all other modern bicycle improvements in my opinion, by supporting you along the entire inside edge of your sit-bones, not just the pointy tips at the rear. Meanwhile, important parts are not mashed. A must try for numbness. Right for me in a way that my Brooks Pro never, ever will be. YBMV (Your Butt May Vary)

Bought this saddle to replace the stock Peloton saddle. It was comfortable with one exception. There is a seam around the outside edge that rubbed my inner thighs. In fact it nearly rubbed a hole in my workout leggings after two 45 minute rides. Had to return.

I tried two seat covers and 6 other seats before getting this one. It's heaven. I don't even need to wear padded shorts with it. There is a seam in the bottom front of the saddle that was a little annoying, but I kept pressing it in until it shifted and that made if perfect. I recommend this one!
