Oversized Bike Saddle

I just got this bike seat and it’s pretty good. It was easy to put it on and quick ride up & down the block told me immediately that it was well worth it, which is the best price out there for this quality wide seat saddle. It’s pretty darn comfortable, I must say. My bike feels better than ever and I am motivated to ride again. This is some good medicine, and your butt will thank you.

This is a very well-made bicycle seat; it was a very pleasant addition to my new e-bike. It is even more comfortable than it is good looking! Much more comfortable than the stock seat on my Trek Verve e-bike! Everything I needed for installation was included in the package (tools and instructions). It took less than 5 minutes to remove my old seat and install this one in its place. I made a few ‘trial rides’ to dial in the angle of the seat, and could tell a HUGE difference even on the first ride with the wrong angle. The difference in padding and seat width is immediately apparent! I had been looking at this seat for a week or so; I just wasn’t ready to shell out $60-$70 bucks to put a new seat on a new bicycle, but I was not happy with the stock seat. I went to the company’s website and they were running a July 4 special of $49.00. I decided to buy one from the website, but looked on Amazon for reviews ……Amazon had a deal going for the very same seat for $25! This was a no-brainer!!!! This was an extremely good purchase! Pros: 1. It is COMFORTABLE!!!!!!!! 2. It is COMFORTABLE!!!!!!!! 3. Did I mention it is comfortable? 4. It looks GOOD! It doesn’t look like a cheap POS! 5. It is competitively priced, even without the deal. 6. Very easy to install, requires little mechanic skill 7. Very wide seat to settle my ol’ “bony butt” on. 8. Thick padding for my ol’ “bony butt”! 9. Spring-ride suspension. Cons: 1. It does add weight, nearly twice as stock. 2. It sits higher than stock. All in all, a great bang for the comfort buck. Knowing what I know now, I would DEFINITELY buy it again, and pay full price for it! Easily worth the vendors website price! If your beaux-hinchous hurts after riding, it will thank you for getting this seat!

I recently bought a brand new e-bike (Aventon Level 2) and while the stock seat on it is wider than many, I knew I wanted a "cushier," more comfortable seat for long rides. This seat has a wide base, and metal springs to provide some additional shock absorption. Here are my notes. Pros: - I like the amount of padding and the width of the seat itself. It's a pretty comfortable seat. I don't do off-road rides, and stick to the paved paths and roads, but even in my neighborhood, the pavement seams have gotten bumpy, and my bike doesn't have suspension other than the front fork. The built-in metal springs do help even out the ride a bit, but it's not a miracle worker. This is not going to provide a 100% bump free ride for your butt or back. You will still notice bumps. - It is very inexpensive. I love the price. Well worth the $25. Cons: - Installation was a little finickier than I thought. They do include an adapter for multiple types of mounts (direct post mount or rail mount) but this was just a little more finicky than I expected to both mount and correctly adjust. - One of the seat springs worked itself loose after just a few hours of riding. I initially thought it had come entirely apart from the seat, but instead, it just required being "screwed back in" to match the height of the other spring. I am a little concerned that this will continue to be an issue in the future, but time will tell. - I think I had slightly higher expectations for how much shock absorption the seat would provide. As noted, my bike only has front fork suspension. I am a big rider (>250lbs) and while the seat is rated for 300lbs, I was hoping the springs would provide a little more cushion. That said, the issue with one of the springs noted above may have contributed to the ride not being as cushy as I was hoping. If you want a ride like a recliner, you may consider getting a suspension post in addition to the seat. I haven't had a super long ride yet, so I'll try to update this once I've taken a significantly longer journey.

Hi all, The seat that came with my new bike, while oversized, was not comfortable. I could only ride my bike for about 3 miles, before getting off the seat to relieve my aching back side. I read hundreds of reviews on several oversized bike seats. The Bikeroo oversized seat came out ahead in the reviews I read. After putting it on my bike, I went for a five mile ride to see how comfortable it was. I had no trouble sitting on the seat, it was that comfortable. The extra cushioned seat, plus the coil springs make for a good 5 mile ride. I believe I would have no trouble riding my bike for 10 miles. Instructions for mounting the seat were easy to follow. I just purchased the same seat for my wife, and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a more comfortable ride. Edit Since purchasing our seats, we have ridden our bikes on a five mile bike trail three times a week. Each time we rode our bikes we enjoyed our seat even more. So, this past week we found a ten mile bike trail with some hills and bumps in the path and we still had a comfortable ride. We did find however, the need to adjust the tilt of the seat for the best ride. Edit We have owned this bike seat for 2 years and it is still comfortable each time we ride 30 miles. We try to ride 30 miles every week but the weather does not always cooperate. We still recommend this bike seat and if it wears out we will buy another

Good seat. Recommend. Got it for my electric bike. Easy to attach to bike. Comfy.

I recently purchased a Sunny Health & Fitness Pro Indoor Cycling Bike to get in better shape for 2017. It's a great bike but the seat that came with it is way too small for a larger male like me (5'9", 230 pounds) which creates a lot of pain unless I'm standing the entire time while riding. I opted for a larger seat and grabbed this one from Bikeroo. It didn't have any reviews yet but the seat looked nice in the photos and it comes with a fitting that works for the Sunny Indoor Cycle. The seat takes about one minute to install and is very well made. It's comfortable and since I made the switch, my cycling sessions have been pain free and much longer in duration. Edit - it also comes with the proper tools for installation. You also might want to keep the installation tool out for a few days as you might need to retighten the nuts that hold the seat in place. The nut loosened slightly in the first couple of days and after I tightened it down, I haven't had any issues since. I also am so happy after the switch. The old seat on my spin cycle made my bottom sore and I no longer deal with that issue.

I’ve had my seat for a little over a year now, I have it on my E-Bike commuter build that I generally use when it’s to cold for my road bike. The springs started to get loose after a month or so of use, easy to tighten and fix. Now just recently after about three months of overall use, I was going to work over a bridge and the vibrations completely dislodged the spring on one side and sent it flying through to the river below. I had just performed my preventative maintenance on the bike the day prior and was making sure everything was ready to go before it was really needed and the seat failed. So I now have only one spring on my seat making it unsafe to ride on. Some loctite on the nut would surely help but after inspecting it looks to be stripped on the seat end aswell. This is a unique case and because of the ebike likely more vibration then a normal setup combined with a rider weight around 200lb. If you’re looking for a new seat on your beach cruiser or camp ground adventurer this is a good seat, anything more intense and I would not recommend.

Update after review: I contacted the Bikeroo team about the squeaking in my seat. They immediately provided a solution of the seat with elastomer springs, the replacement seat was sent out quickly and received. I had the chance to use it this weekend and it makes a world of difference. Now I have a very comfortable seat and no squeaking! Hands down excellent customer service. Update, due to squeaking. The seat is very comfortable, but after 3 rides the squeaking of the seat is horrible. Very distracting and embarrassing. Any suggestions to get the squeaking to stop? After trying to adapt to the stock bike seat that came with my bike I decided it was just to painful and I needed to replace it with a comfort seat. I was skeptical it could make that much difference but this seat exceeds my expectations. It was very easy to install and taking it out for the first ride convinced me I made the right choice. It fits my body well and has great padding in the right places. Definitely pleased I purchased this. Also very impressed with the followup emails with product info and installation guides that were sent after purchase. Highly recommend.

Ho acquistato la sella di colore bianco, chiaramente ad un prezzo superiore a quella di colore marrone solamente per scelta cromatica mia. Qualità eccellente e ultra comoda. Montata in pochi minuti. Veramente molto soddisfatto.

Waste of money. Will not buy again.

Goed

I rarely write reviews, but I feel I must for this saddle. I am 55 and have ridden bikes most of my life and previously done much challenging MTB riding. I live in a really hilly area of south Wales and had stopped cycling for two reasons: the painful ascents and saddle soreness. I believe that correct fit and positioning of saddles can help with saddle soreness as well as padded shorts. However, I have suffered even with two layers of short and gel saddle covers. I have seen it suggested that paradoxically too many layers and indeed gel saddles can make things worse, but I struggle with the science for that. Well made light anatomical saddles importantly take pressure off the perineum, but your weight still must be supported by your seat bones (ischial tuberosities). It is all well and good for the typical cycle athlete that spends a significant amount of the time out of the seat on ascents and then who only weighs 50-70kg. However I weigh 105kg and have the same anatomy around my seat bones. Not surprising then the increased pressure causing my pain. I recently took the plunge and bought myself a high end electric bike. The bike is fantastic and has opened up the joy of cycling again. However, it came with a very good and light road bike saddle which made my first long ride very uncomfortable indeed. The thing that is not intuitive to those who have not yet used an electric bike is that you rarely stand out of the saddle, indeed long ascents are nearly always made firmly sat on the saddle. Hence, saddle soreness is likely to be much worse with electric bikes. In desperation I searched for a solution and having researched the reviews I decided to try this saddle out. It is much heavier than high end anatomical saddles designed to be as light as possible, so it will come at a cost to overall weight for normally powered bikes. However, for modern electric bikes the extra weight makes no noticeable difference. As I write, I have sat on the saddle for more than 100 miles in one week over very hilly terrain including many gravel tracks and I have not once felt uncomfortable on my seat bones. Occasional noise from the springs, but who cares? This saddle has opened up once again a very enjoyable aspect of life for me that I thought was over. Yahoo!

Very good
