 A.R.S. Bike Saddle ReviewJun 25, 2010
By R. Montemayor
"Xave"
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3TLHDETFT1Q1Z Like many of you I researched different types of bike saddles hoping to find a good mix of comfort and performance. I created this video to share my experiences with this seat so others could make a more informed decision before buying. I've added specific measurements and my overall thoughts on the seat. You be the judge if this saddle is right for you. Happy riding!

 Best seat I've ownedJun 20, 2007
By GearInches
Over the years, I've owned everything from Selle San Marco to Specialized Body Geometry, and this seat is seriously the most comfortable seat I've ever owned. If you're looking for the lightest seat around, this isn't it; mine weighs 390 grams. But if you want to be comfortable for hours on end, buy this seat. I can't recommend it enough. I do my best to keep my mountain bike under 20lbs., so I've saved weight elsewhere to make up for the extra grams of this seat and it's totally worth it. I plan on buying the women's version for my wife soon, too.

I can't believe it works, but it doesJun 09, 2009
By James A. Kenefick
I'm a big guy, and I've been looking for a saddle that relieves pressure in "that area" for some time. Now that I have put 150 miles on this saddle, I can say I found it. Cheap, too! Unfortunately I think the materials are a bit on the cheap side as well. I don't expect it to last years and years, but at these prices I can afford to swap it out of the fabric splits.
Like others, the decals are peeling off of mine quickly, but that's OK. I would rather it didn't have big bright logos against the black material. The important thing is, my big wide butt fits on this saddle just right: it tucks up and supports the sit bones without pressing in on "that area" and making things sore or worse, numb.
If they made this in a more durable material I would never buy another saddle ever.

deep channel a plusAug 24, 2008
By G. Pagel
After miles of bike riding, there were no numb spots. The deep channel made huge difference. Seat was slightly wider than I'd like, but the trade off was worth having no numbness.

Great seat, just what I neededJul 24, 2008
By M. Pennington
"Library Lady"
Over the last 10 years, I've ridden about 1,000 miles a year. Most rides are 20 to 40 miles with a few up to 60. Last year I did 2,000 and developed a lot of pain on the points of my sit bones (where presumable you are suppose to put your weight). I was riding a Koobi Enduro for about 2 years (which previously worked OK). Before that, I road a basic Serfas gel saddle (and really liked it until I started using aero bars due to stressed muscles in my left hand). The Serfas was not split and did not allow riding with bars without undue pressure on the prostate. In any event, every bike store I talk to and every article I read talks about the importance of a firm saddle. Well, maybe that's generally true but this saddle has been a great change for me (more cushion than the average serious bike seat). My sit bones are almost back to normal and the split allows me to keep pressure away from "important areas". No problems there. I ride about half in the aero bars and half sitting up, frequently shifting positions and weight to avoid injury and discomfort. When in the bars, I try to keep no more than 40% of my weight in the saddle, maybe 40% on pedals and 20% in bars. When sitting up, probably 50%, 40%, 10%. Seems to be working OK. Best advice, if it hurts, don't do it. I have a friend that just road until he was numb. Needless to say, he's got serious problems now. Seems like a duh, but apparently not. Happy riding! (oh, I'm I guy, Library Lady is my wife...lol)
