5.0 out of 5 stars Most Comfortable Seat Ever!!, August 19, 2009

I am an avid roadie and I fall a bit on the heavier side for roadies at about 185-190 lbs. I have always had an issue with the numbness that comes with my previous road saddles. Since buying the ISM saddle, no numbness. You do have to follow the detailed instructions on fitting it. The best is to go to ISM website for all the fit info. Works so well, a double century feels like a ride around the park now. It is worth the money as long as you take the time to fit it properly and understand that you will not have it dialed in ubtil you have put about 150 miles on it. RIDE ON!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best saddle I have ever ridden, July 9, 2009

This review is from: ISM Adamo Road Saddle (Misc.)

I have this on my road and triathlon bikes and can never go back. The saddles support you by the sit-bones and completely eliminate numbness in the naughty bits. Before this saddle, I could not stay in the drops (in the aerodynamic position) for very long, especially since I am only 5'7" and inflexible. Since installing the saddle, I can stay tucked in for hours in a row.
I have been able to adjust the saddles perfectly, but have found that the front should be significantly higher than intuition might suggest. In fact, the front of my saddles are about a cm higher than the back.
The initial adaptation to this saddle is the feeling of falling off the front since you are not balanced on the nose. Once I got used to sitting upright and then bending over (if that makes sense), the saddle felt better than normal. I can even ride forever hands-free by sliding back an inch when I pop up.
I cannot recommend this saddle enough for everyone. Once you get it and install it, have a bike shop look at the configuration. Commit to fully trying it out, and you will never look back either.
Happy riding.

4.0 out of 5 stars Adamo road, September 7, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought this saddle after months of review and trials of 2 other types of saddles. One was a specialized toupe and the other was a profile design tri stryke. Both saddles were fine but over time and bumps, especially with carrying a backpack and commuting I started to notice discomfort during the rides that lasted longer then I wanted. Most notably when in the aero position on my tri bike. I ended up renting an Adamo Race from an on line tri retailer and put in on my racing bike. It took a little time to get it right and to get used to the differences in pressure but I noticed I wasn't constantly adjusting my shorts. The Race was a little firm so I ordered the Road version and have use it for a tolal of 200 miles so far, including a half IM, and I am very satisfied. I actually find it better to ride on using tri shorts or less engineered chamois because of the nose less design. I will probably buy another one or two for my road bike and for my mountain bike as well! The pricing and convenience of finding the product on Amazon was outstanding and the retailer was perfect and fast!
