Comfortable Bike Seat – Padded Gel Saddle with Full Length Cut Out for Men and Women

Sit Bones Supported. Middle Left Open. Legs Left Alone.

The seat your bike came with felt fine in the shop. Twenty minutes along the river path it's a different story. The pressure has moved to the one place you don't want it, you're sliding forward and back looking for a better spot, and the last few hundred metres home are done standing on the pedals.

So you try the big sprung sofa seat. It's soft for a week, and then the wide side wings start rubbing the insides of your thighs on every pedal stroke.

This comfortable bike seat takes the middle out of the problem.

Here's How It Works

An open cut-out runs down the middle of the seat from the nose to the tail, right through the shell. With nothing underneath to press up into the soft tissue between your sit bones, your weight goes where it should, onto the two sit bones themselves.

Under each sit bone there's a gel pad set into a foam base, which is where your weight lands when you ride sitting upright on a hybrid, an e-bike or an exercise bike. The shell beneath is moulded plastic with the open centre carried all the way through.

The shape is mid-width. It's wider than a narrow race saddle, so your sit bones have something to land on, and narrower than a sofa seat, so there are no wide wings rubbing your legs. The nose is narrow and there's a notch at the back between the two wings. It measures about 27.5 cm long and 16.5 cm wide.

Fitting is a straight swap. The twin metal rails clamp into a standard seat-post clamp with one Allen key (not included). Set it level to start with and adjust the tilt a little after a ride or two if you need to. Most riders settle into a new seat over the first few rides. The synthetic leather cover has a stitched edge around the cut-out and wipes clean after a wet ride or a dusty track.

The Gear It Replaces

• The stock seat your bike came with — hard, flat and pressing in exactly the wrong place
• Wide sprung sofa seats — soft at first, then the side wings rub on every pedal stroke
• Slip-on gel seat covers — they shift around on the seat and bunch up under you
• Narrow race saddles — built for a rider bent low over drop bars, harsh when you sit upright

What's In It

• Full length open cut-out — nothing pressing into the soft tissue in the middle
• Gel pad under each sit bone — cushioning right where your weight lands
• Foam base over a moulded shell — the open centre carried all the way through
• Mid-width shape with a narrow nose — supports your sit bones without wings rubbing your legs
• Twin metal rails — fit standard seat-post clamps on bikes, e-bikes and most exercise bikes
• Synthetic leather cover — wipes clean after a wet or muddy ride
• Stitched edge around the cut-out — a neat finish where the cover meets the channel
• Three accent options — a black, red or blue line, with silver stripes on the nose and tail
