 I LOVE this seat! November 21, 2006

This is the most comfortable bike seat I have ever sat on, much better than the Butterfly Tri gel seat I bought for about $100 and never used. I have one on my tri bike, on my beat-around mountain bike and will be buying another one for a new road bike I'm getting.

br /During a local 2006 century ride, I saw another woman with the same Schwinn seat on her road bike and we both agreed that this seat is the best!!!
Awesome Schwinn Bicycle Seat!!! September 12, 2006

I have been looking around for a bicycle seat to ride on rough trails. The one my bike came with was not cutting it. ;) I ended up choosing this one, because of the 'give' in the narrow part of the seat. I thought it would create more comfort. I put it on that night and went riding. Not only was it more comfortable, but there was a bounce to it, so when you went over rocky trails, it didn't hurt to hit the seat on the way down! I'm a satisfied customer! :)

This is definitely a good comfortable seat. I recently biked for 38 miles in one day (approximately 3 hours) and my rear was just starting to get a little sore at the very end. The gel padding is very nice.
Back in the saddle again! August 11, 2008

Let's face it, bike seats do wear out over time. Even the most expensive saddles are going to break down over time, and even with a premium gel seat from five or six years ago, you're going to feel the pain in that "important area" when you take a drop with an XC bike or bump a curb with a street cruiser.
br /
br /If you look carefully at the photos of this Schwinn Adult Ergonomic Bicycle Saddle you'll see that it has a cut-out center relief zone in just the right area. From a personal perspective this rider found that the "love channel" section works like a champ, and after riding for a couple of hours I found that my backside wasn't sore and my crotch never felt like it was numb or falling asleep.
br /
br /Do keep in mind that any saddle, regardless of price, has to be adjusted to the individual rider, and it might take a day or two (or three) to do this. Carry your simple adjustment tools with you and you can do it while you're riding, and you'll find the investment of time will pay off in riding comfort.
br /
br /Also worthy of consideration is the well-made Planet Bike Men's A.R.S. Anatomic Relief Bicycle Saddle, a similar product with a slightly different though quite comfortable and sharp looking.
br /
br /It almost seems that a bike saddle of this price shouldn't be given any more than a 4-star rating, as there are some great gel seats out there that cost a lot more. On the other hand, once this saddle is adjusted properly, it's a 5-star ride, and that's what counts. It's well-made, and highly recommended.
Comfort and economy - a great combination! October 10, 2008

pros: comfortable, standard installation, easy to adjust, inexpensive
br /cons:
br /
br /This seat is super comfortable. I had a chance to take a trip on a very uncomfortable saddle recently and have come to appreciate my Schwinn saddle even more. I've used it almost daily for my 8 mile (x2) commute since I started biking 3 months ago. I just took it on my first real ride - 33 miles. Toward the end I was experiencing numbness which may have been avoided by moving the front of the saddle down a bit but overall I had a great ride thanks to this saddle! For comparison's sake I'm height/weight proportionate and wear chamois bike shorts when I ride. I have virtually no rear end, so I need all the cushioning I can get!
br /
br /I can see where durability may be an issue in a year or two or five, but I'm willing to deal with the minor hassle of buying a new saddle sooner should that happen.
