Good looking and comfortable
"Wass really surprised of the quality and looks of this saddle. Really comfortable."
Saddle is fine but NOT a c17 substitute
"Nothing wrong with this saddle-it’s supportive, comfortable, looks good on my winter cruiser. HOWEVER, I bought it based on other reviews saying it was a cheap alternative to Brooks Canbium C17, and that it is not. (To be fair, the item description makes no such comparison; it’s just the reviewers.) Where the Canbium is rubberized plastic suspended on a frame, similar in concept to Brooks’ leather saddles, this seat is just a hard plastic base with foam on top, ie just a totally typical seat. It’s good for the money, but it’s not an anything like a Canbium except in appearance."
Worth it for the looks alone.
"I was drawn to this seat like many I'm sure as a less expensive alternative to the brooks C saddles. I like this seat for MTB but not as a road saddle. The pressure relief area is just not enough for me in a road biking position. With a little more upright position it is very comfortable. Once things looses up it will get even better. I opted for the natural fiber look and really like it. I added a coat of bees wax to provide some waterproofing and hopefully make it last longer with the mud and grit it will see off road. For the price it is well made and has a great look. Would buy it again."
Not for me
"I bought this saddle hoping for a good match with my tan sidewall tires. It looks good on the bike, but is not very comfortable for me and would be a little concerned about long term looks with the fabric and color."
Great cheap substitute for the cambium
"I needed a cheap saddle quickly but I love the look of the cambium, so I bought this cheap knockoff and it’s great!!! Probably can’t be expected to hold up to longterm abuse like a Brooks, but it’s beautiful and so SO soft. I was not expecting the extreme coziness. It has so much bounce and squish it reminds me of a beach cruiser seat, but it looks sleek like a road saddle. It’s not a pro piece of equipment, I don’t expect it to last forever like a brooks, but it’s a steal for the money."
Nice affordable option for the
