Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a really comfortable really well made saddle that can be used aggressively or upright even for a 6'3" 225 pounder.
The multi layer gel padding is very good and the Elastomeric suspension is not at all sloppy but provides very good and solid feeling progressive support.
The "Soloflex" covering is also soft but rain proof which is a real advantage over Lycra (yecch)
I tried the Planet ARS and found it too soft and squishy and at the same time too easy to sit through the padding so it was also too hard. (Hard to screw it up at both ends)
This Serfas E-Gel saddle on the other hand is very progressive and still of a size and rigidity that make it work for aggressive cycling as well.
This is not the fatter cruiser saddle and is proportioned very reasonably.
If you find something more comfortable and still reasonably high performance I would like to know what it is at any price.
Update: I have now tried this saddle on my new single speed 29er mountain bike and like it every bit as much as on my Canondale Jekyll mountain bike.
(I ride mostly on road but also somewhat aggressively off road.)
It is small enough to be out of the way for off road stuff and really really comfortable leaning forward or upright on road.
Another item that really helps for on/off road use are a set of Ergon GC3 handlebar Grips and risers which are really comfortable for long rides and provide an excellent upright alternative to the more forward leaning aggressive riding style normal for Mountain Bikes. Note (Very important) if you get these you will probably need to loosen the handlebar clamps on your brakes and shifter to insure that you get the grips all the way on and seated against the end of the handlebar before tightening them. These are expensive but absolutely worth the money.
