This is a fantastic saddle and I feel stupid that I waited so long to replace the one that came on my road bike with it. I used to feel a fair amount of pressure on the soft parts while down in the drops, and after as little as 15-20 miles would find myself shifting around even when upright. The change when I switched to this saddle was immediate and dramatic. Upright, feels like you're sitting on nothing. And I can stay in the drops for as long as I want with zero discomfort.

This saddle is actually a little bit wider in the nose than what I'm used to, but after a quick adjustment period that was not a problem.

It was nice to get this at a price reduction here, but it would be worth every penny of the full price as well and I would not hesitate to pay $190 for it. Really, A+.

This sear was purchased as a replacement for the men's seat that was included with road bike. This seat solved all my problems with getting numb & painful female parts.

I purchased this saddle for my wife's Trek 1.5 after thoroughly researching reviews. The saddle offers her a very comfortable ride while displaying craftsmanship to the highest measure. Selle Italia has convinced me that they will be on the top of my list regarding any future saddle purchases.

My wife had decided that she wanted to finally give cycling a try. I was really excited as I had wanted her to get into it so we could have something to spend more time doing together. We ended up getting her a nice Orbea bicycle. It fit her like a glove - her only complaint was the seat when they were fitting her to it. At the time I told her it was just because she wasn't used to it (she hadn't ridden a bike in 15+ years) and that a little discomfort would be normal at first. Several rides later and she was in agony. I finally hopped up on her seat, and it brutalized me as well. I couldn't believe just how terrible of a seat it was. So I decided she needed a new seat.

A long and exhaustive search brought me to Selle Italia Diva Gel Flow Women's Bicycle Saddle (Vanox Rails). It is somewhat pricey, others are cheaper (Terry Womens Butterfly CrMo Black), but I couldn't find one bad thing about this one so I went for it. Our first ride out she was in heaven. She instantly went from dreading riding (and after all its about having fun!) to loving it. We rode further than she ever has our our first time out together on the new seat.

Before this seat, I was worried that the sport was ruined for my wife and I'd just wasted $$$$ on her bike. This seat changed all of that. I highly recommend this seat. Especially for the guys who cycle with their ladies - show them you care and get this seat.

I upgraded saddles from the one that came standard on my KHS. This is a very comfortable seat. Makes the long rides much more enjoyable. Well worth the money. Good investment.

I'm pretty new to road bike riding. I own a Bianchi Dama Bianca Elle. I bought it because I hate the padded shorts, . . .well I learned my lesson. Padded shorts as is this saddle are an absolute must. What a difference. My husband couldn't get it on with our tools at home. I had to take it to the bike shop but now that I have it I would never ever go back. It is very comfortable. My only complaint is the color which stains easily.
