birchingtonal (Male)

March 21, 2024 by Laura Toll

Very pleased
I bought this for a specific purpose, as I have recently had prostate surgery. I previously used a Specialized Avatar saddle (which has a perineal slot) but I wanted to offer more relief to the perineal area and this seemed an obvious choice. It certainly is different and on first looks seems to be too small to be any good. But in fact it works really well. You have to set it up differently to "normal" saddles (which is explained on the packaging with the saddle). I found that measuring the height from the ground to the back of the top of the old saddle, together with the measurement from the stem to the back of the old saddle gave a pretty good starting point. On trying it I found I needed to move it about 1cm back, then it was good to go. Although much shorter than a "normal" saddle it doesn't feel it when you sit on it. I immediately felt comfortable and well supported. Because of my post-op situation I am limited to what I can do, so am restricted to use on my Wahoo Kickr for now. As I have not had the opportunity to use it on the road yet I cannot award it 5 stars, but I am hopeful that it will be good there too. Pros: Comfortable
