Serfas RX Men's Bicycle Saddle

Easy install. Soft and perfect if you have tail bone issues when riding

Taken on the Lands End to John O’Groats virtual bike challenge on my exercise bike (874 miles). First thing I needed to do was upgrade the saddle for such a task. After much deliberation chose this one which has proved to be really comfortable and has made a massive difference. Over 60 miles in and no problems.

What a great product. It's a bit pricey but very very comfortable seat.

I'm a big guy, 44yo, 5'10" and 230lbs. But I also ride my hybrid 28miles round trip to work five days a week. I needed a saddle that was comfortable to soak up the road and didn't compress the nether regions. Every saddle I have tried was either too narrow at the tail for my bum, didn't provide enough clearance to avoid compression or was too hard for longer rides. The Serfas RX is very comfortable with a great mix of padding and gel and most importantly the split design makes sure that nothing gets squished. If you're a road warrior with carbon everything this is not the saddle for you. It's too wide and too heavy. But if you're a modestly athletic middle age guy looking to stay in the saddle for a few more decades than you probably can't go wrong with this one.Some quick additional notes:- This saddle is about the split design, not performance, weight or even comfort (although I think it's quite good at soaking up the road).- It's not a terribly attractive saddle, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder...and I'll take a weird looking saddle over numbness.- I don't park my bike outdoors at either work or at home. Protection from the elements may have helped to keep the saddle in good shape.- Some people have asked me if the split design ever pinches. The answer is no.UPDATED 7/8/2013I have 1.5 years of 5 day a week, all weather riding on this saddle and I have to say that it's far and away the best saddle I've owned. Since the original post my commute has increased to 35 round-trip miles daily and it's just as comfortable. First off, the build quality is impressive. Despite an approximate 13,000 miles of usage the only signs of wear are some fading of the black lycra fabric covering and the silk screened art has peeled a bit. There are zero popped stitches, fabric tears or signs of structural fatigue. I do think that the gel/padding are getting a bit tired but I only really notice that on bumpier sections of pavement. I have two other bikes with different saddles, one is a road bike and it has the stock saddle with only a shallow channel and the other is my weekend beater and it has an after-market super squishy granny seat. This Serfas RX is far and away my favorite. The only reason I haven't switched out the other two saddles is pure laziness on my part.UPDATED 8/22/2016Still love this saddle enough that I finally bought a new one! Considering the abuse I put on my kit, I consider 5 years and ~30k miles a really good run. About 18mos ago I noticed that it lost some shock absorption. Not too extreme but on bigger jostles it felt like I was, pardon the pun, bottoming out. I didn't replace it right away, waited until last March, in hindsight I don't think I will wait next time.Still riding 5 days a week, although the last few winters took me off the road. I wasn't particularly cold, got good gear to keep me comfortable (I should probably write some reviews for those products as well!). However, my brake cables have frozen a few times. That's a bit scary. Anyway, 9 months a year I'm out there pedaling away!Other minor things... Most of the silk screen peeled away and there was definitely considerable fading of color. Interestingly, there weren't any popped stitches or rips in the lycra. Most importantly, so far the new saddle seems to be as well constructed as the original!Honestly, of all my bicycle accessory related purchases, this is one of the best decisions I've ever made.

I've now put 1500 miles on my fat tire E-bike using this seat and I can't believe how comfortable AND durable it is. I'm a very large guy, 6'-3" 300+ lbs, who rides almost every day a minimum of 9 miles, but often 20 miles or more. This seat is even more comfortable than using padded biking shorts on any other seat. It still has plenty of cushion after all the abuse it's taken from an XXL rider over many miles, often on rough terrain. I give this product my highest recommendation. It's so good that I doubt I would ever buy a bike seat from another company. It's a little more expensive than most of the other seats on Amazon but very much worth the price.
