Open Down the Middle. Narrow Where You Pedal.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwenty minutes into the fire trail, the stock mountain bike seat stops feeling like a seat. It's a hard, flat plank, and every root, rock and corrugation on the way down comes straight up through it. By the time you roll back into the car park, you've spent more of the ride standing on the pedals than sitting down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSummer makes it worse. At three in the afternoon a solid saddle holds the heat right where you sit, and a wide, square nose rubs the inside of your thighs on every single pedal stroke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bike seat fixes the three things a stock saddle gets wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHere's How It Works\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe top is padded with gel and memory foam over a shaped shell. Instead of a flat board you get a cushioned surface that gives a little under your sit bones, so the chatter from gravel, roots and washboard is softened before it reaches you. On a long ride, that is the difference between sitting down and hovering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cut-out runs the length of the centre, open right through the saddle. It takes pressure off the middle of the seat, where a solid saddle pushes back hardest, and it gives air a way through instead of trapping heat under you on a hot day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp front, the nose narrows sharply. Your thighs pass it cleanly on every pedal stroke, so nothing rubs on the inner leg, and sliding forward for a steep pinch climb is easy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath, standard twin rails clamp into the seat post of most mountain, road and touring bikes, so it goes on where your current saddle comes off. The wear-resistant PU cover has a non-slip finish that keeps you planted, and a quick wipe takes the dust off after a dirt track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Gear It Replaces\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe stock flat saddle\u003c\/strong\u003e — a hard plank that sends every bump straight up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAn old saddle with tired padding\u003c\/strong\u003e — foam that flattened out years ago and gives nothing back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA solid saddle with no channel\u003c\/strong\u003e — heat and pressure in the same spot for the whole ride\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStanding on the pedals\u003c\/strong\u003e — the workaround that turns every descent into a leg session\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's In It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGel and memory foam padding\u003c\/strong\u003e — a softer surface under your sit bones on long rides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull-length centre cut-out\u003c\/strong\u003e — pressure off the centre line and air moving through\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNarrow nose\u003c\/strong\u003e — thighs clear on every pedal stroke, no rubbing on the inner leg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSport saddle shape\u003c\/strong\u003e — wider at the back for support, tapered at the front for movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWear-resistant PU cover\u003c\/strong\u003e — a non-slip finish that holds you in place on rough ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard twin rails\u003c\/strong\u003e — clamp into most standard seat posts on MTB, road and touring bikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree trim colours\u003c\/strong\u003e — black with red, blue or yellow to suit your bike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bicycle saddle (bike seat)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePadding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gel and memory foam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCover:\u003c\/strong\u003e PU synthetic leather with a non-slip finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyurethane, synthetic leather, plastic and foam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-length centre cut-out, narrow nose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Twin rails for standard seat posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27.5 x 14.5 x 7 cm (L x W x H)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Red, Black Blue, Black Yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntended use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mountain biking, road cycling, touring and commuting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntended user:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adult riders, men and women\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoft seat.
