After receiving the product, which was fast and without problems, I installed the product on my bike.

I AM NOW 100% satisfied. The product is soft, comfortable, and easy to adjust to fit me accurately.

Before, I couldn't ride my bike without having pain from sitting; now its as comfortable as a pillow.

MY Wiife and I are appreciative of such good customer service and a reliable product.

not as soft as i'd hoped, but still great- i think once i use my bike more and wear the seat in it'll be geat- or maybe if i weighed more it would be more comfortable ( my boyfriend likes it)- still worth it though-

I bought this seat to replace the standard small seat that came with my Schwinn exercise bike which is about 15 years old. I had been using a much wider padded more comfortable
seat that I bought about 5 years ago. When I had the seat correctly adjusted at the bike shop (I was slipping down onto the thin end of the seat) it proved too wide at the thighs and I was getting aches in my legs so I put the original seat back and it rode much better with no pain but was hard and uncomfortable on my rear..

The seat I purchased does have the gel on the back but the seat itself is like riding a toothpick. This is a good reason to look at the product in person before buying it.
It wouldn't be cost effective for me to send it back though.. Maybe on a bike that is to be ridden outdoors it would be better but I doubt it..

Saddle is great for me. I ride my bike to work daily so I only do a few miles a day. Seat works great and is comfortable. Be sure to tighten it well-was a bit loose the first day I was riding and it was tilting up and down on bumpy roads---not fun. Once I tightened it up it has been great.

This seat is great for long bike trips. I biked 180 miles in 5 days and I did not start feeling the effects of being on a bike for a long time until day 3.

I tried out my new saddle today and rode 4 hours on it. It was a very comfortable ride throughout and for the price I would definitely recommend it. The seat has a very cushy feel, but I wouldn't claim it as being "pillow soft."

My 15 year old seat was worn torn and ugly and I saw this on sale so I bought it. Its about as uncomfortable as the old seat on my 10 speed but it sure looks a lot nicer. The seat is pretty firm, so lighter people may not get much cushioning out of the padding. You do have to tighten the snot out of the bolts otherwise it will tilt after its mounted. Just like most seats, you can flip the mounting bracket and slide the seat forward or backward on the rails to fine tune your reach to the bars.

Edit added here: After switching this to a few different bikes I got to say, this seat works a lot better on a relaxed bike than a "sport" bike. The cushioning actually works when you have lots of weight placed on it. On a road bike with your weight on your legs and arms its not so good. Make sure you're going to use it only on a short trip bmx/cruiser/hybrid if you buy it. Something with the seat lower than the bars. FYI its not as fat as the fisheye photo would lead you to believe..

I am obese and this seat, while not actually cushy, does not hurt my derrière while riding. I did not want a huge cushy seat on my racing style bike so this is a great compromise between size and comfort. Great for the size and price.

I thought this seat would be a little wider than I anticapated. from the look of the pic it looks like a mixture between a regular bike seat and a cruiser seat. its just a regular seat still pretty firm but well built and light.

I have not ridden my bike as much since I bought this seat. It is too uncomfortable. Its narrow and 'bony'.
I am female and it hurts after a mile.
Its a shame as the price is excellent and it was easy to install.
