Serfas RX Cruiser Saddle Road Bicycle Mountain Bike Seat Lycra

The Serfas RX Cruiser is the saddle that has finally allowed me to take longer rides in comfort! I've tried just about every Selle Royal saddle and only one of them, the Respiro Relaxed, has come close to being comfortable, but even with that one I would start to really feel it after a couple of hours. For reference, I am a 6'2", 240 lbs. male and ride a a Dutch-style bike in a fully upright position. I also tried the Serfas Hybrid RX but it was just a bit too narrow for me but that is likely due to my riding position. I've put over 100 miles on the Serfas RX Cruiser over the past couple of weeks on my ebike, most which came in 3 long rides of at least 3 hours each and one of which lasted about 4 hours. I finished each of those rides with minimal discomfort and with only taking a few short breaks. I've now gotten to the point where my endurance is limited by my legs rather than my butt. The key, however, is setting the proper height above the pedals for full leg extension and setting the proper angle so that you aren't trying to slide forwards or backwards. If those aren't correct then it won't be as comfortable as it should be as I have discovered. With my preferred fully upright riding position, the saddle is actually angled back quite a bit but it's what works for me so be sure to experiment around to find what works for you. I have only been riding consistently, roughly every weekend, for the past six months or so and am not some kind of endurance rider. But with this saddle I'm now more motivated to want to go out and do longer rides.

Thank you, so much, Serfas Rx! I had bought the Women's Vinyl Serfas Seat (small on left) last year. It was the winner compared to other brands because it had the channel cut through that prevented UTI's. Yay. The same channel is present on the larger Cruiser seat (on the right). The advantage to the Cruiser is that the channel is slightly larger and does NOT come to a point at the end, which offers me much more relief in the delicate region, preventing numbness. Again, thank you, Serfas Rx, for offering options, and consistently having a channel present to prevent UTI's. My friend gifted me her generic spin bike when she upgraded during the Time of Covid, when you couldn't find exercise equipment anywhere or go to the gym. However, over time, day after day, I experienced numbness during the long workouts (55-60 min). It hurt to get up off the seat to power pedal (likely due to the pointed tip of the smaller vinyl seat). With more equipment available now, a year later, I looked on Amazon and found the Serfas Rx Cruiser seat. I've read reviews and we all have different anatomy and sitz bone (ischial tuberosity) placement. The larger & softer seat of the Cruiser fits me better, but of course, your mileage may vary, depending on your own anatomy. I've cut back my time to 52-55 minutes and now have a recumbent bike, to vary my workouts on different days, so pressure is dispersed to different body parts, reducing ... er.... wear and tear on the same places. I highly recommend the brand Serfas Rx! Keep trying different sizes to see what fits your anatomy the best and feels most comfortable. Thank goodness they are wise enough to understand the importance of a channel cut all the way through, as well as offering different sizes for different sized people! Thank you, Serfas Rx, for your superior design and quality!

This is a good quality product. It has made my tailbone pain more bearable, but it did not vanish entirely though. The saddle presses on my sitbones (my old saddle would press on my tailpone but not my sitbones). I don't know yet if that's because I have to get used to riding my bike, or if there is actually a saddle out there that fits perfectly without any pain from day one. Maybe this saddle is a bit too wide(?), even though I made the sitbones test before I bought it, so the measurements should be right. This weekend I was at a party and we sat down a lot and it made my tailbone very sore. That day I also felt pain from my sciatica (for the first time). And now I am not sure if that pain is from my tailbone from sitting all day, or if it's from the saddle. I hope it's not from the saddle because I haven't been able to ride my bike at all before this saddle. But it is a concern that I intend to find a solution to.

This is an Excellent seat. My butt bones are sensitive. I've researched and purchased way too many seats trying to find comfort. Gel is a waste of time & money.There are some weird /exotic seat designs out there, some much more expensive. But hands down, this Serfas RX Cruiser Saddle was the best for comfort, reliability and performance, no question.Serfas makes a smaller seat that is best for youth or smaller people, the Hybrid RX saddle. The Hybrid RX has everything scaled down,...e.g. narrower, less padding, slightly shorter snout, made for a smaller person.The product pictures are misleading. In the Amazon pictures, the Hybrid RX actually looked to be LARGER than the RX Cruiser pic though it is actually smaller. But I had to actually sit them side by side to understand the differeces. So even though the Amazon picture implies the Hybrid is larger,...it is in fact, smaller. The slightly larger, better built RX Cruiser is the best seat and little more expensive, too.If you need max support, max comfort, max protection, comfortable fabric,... then the RX Cruiser is the one. I love it. Makes riding a joy and easier to ride miles longer. Wide but not too wide, longer but not too long. Just well proportioned. Supports each cheek bone without compromise or over kill. Like independent suspension. On the smaller Hybrid model, my cheek bones did not sit in the sweat spot on the seat & was not comfortable. I've had this seat for several months now and cannot find any drawbacks. Highly recommend it.Even the neighborhood teen was hurting from the leather rail seat he had been using,...so nobody it immune to poorly designed seats.
