Respiro, Unisex Bike Seat with Ventilation Channel for Extra Comfort

Comfortable, long lasting saddle. I have used nothing else for ten years. Great value also.

I love this saddle so much that I just purchased 5 more. One thing to note, the listed dimensions on many sites is incorrect. The saddle is 11 inches in length as the diagram correctly shows and it is 6 inches in Width at the widest section. These saddles last me about 2-3 years on average before they begin to tear. Once the fabric is compromised it begins to fall apart. I have no complaint because I do a lot of cycling and do not have any soreness using this saddle. I can ride pain free wearing just thin compression pants and without any padding in my attire. This saddle is not comparable with the lightest saddles but to be pain free I am very happy. Most bike shops are no longer stocking this item in this exact style so I chose to grab many before this disappear. The decals will wear off quickly so don't be alarmed by this.

I'm new to cycling and I really consider myself a casual rider. However, the seat that came with my Fuji Track Classic was just flat and terrible. This is a very nice replacement without looking out of place on the bike. The channel in the middle definitely made a much larger difference in comfort than I expected and friends that has ridden my bike agree that it's very comfortable - for men especially. I'm 5'4" and I think the saddle is a good size. It's not too long, not too wide and still blends in nicely with a track or road bike, while giving you more casual riding comfort. The seat is still position for the more athletic riding position, but regardless of how you'll ride it's a very well balanced seat and a great price to boot. I can't comment too much on how air flow is, because I really ride mostly with jeans or regular shorts on, but I know it should provide some added comfort for those that ride in cycling clothing.

Good materials overall. Very comfortable with the padding and the aerated cutout.

There is No magic saddle. You need to ride more, have the right shorts and a little chamois butter doesn't hurt. That said, a good gel saddle will help take some of the rough edges out. I got this for a mountain bike and it was a very good choice. When there is a harsh bump that your suspension doesn't handle well, it's far nice to have a forgiving saddle than have some rock hard thing come at you. For road bikers I would call this a fifty mile saddle. It feels pretty good up to that point. At the 70 mile mark you'll notice the nose is just a little wide. I can't emphasize enough that there is no magic saddle. Really good shorts will do more than any saddle. If you are having trouble, make sure your saddle is the right width (Ned to measure your sit bones) and make sure the saddle height is right and the tilt of the seat hits you right. After that, it's all about miles.

The description of the size is totally off. The actual size is length 279 mm with 159mm weight 429g also note the bags Stella sells don't fit the clip slot in this seat. Maybe I got a defect.

The last one I bought broke after 7 months/1500 miles of riding. The plastic between the rails and the cushion part of the saddle split. Got nowhere on selleroyal website trying to file a warranty claim. A very comfy saddle otherwise, so over the years I purchased several of these.

This Saddle is exaclty what I was looking for. I weigh around 160 lb, and I am a little boney. I commute at least 70 miles a week on a flat bar urban commuter bike. I only have about 36 miles of riding in with this saddle, but I think it is fair to say that it is definitely a keeper. It is quite comfortable. It is not too soft, and not too firm. The covering keeps the rain out, and is not slippery. It has a very unique and attractive look to it. It also seems to be of great quality. I think it will last me a long time. I would definitely buy this again. I bought a Sell Royal saddle for my wife's bike years ago, and it has held up extremely well. I liked the feel and quality of it, which is why I decided on the same brand.

Même avec un VTT tout suspendu, le choix de la selle est primordial pour assurer un confort optimal lors de mes longues sorties en VTT de plus de 50 Km. Voilà une selle parfaite pour mon royal postérieur, bien finie et au confort moelleux, nettement supérieur à celui de la selle d'origine. Les inserts en gel amortissent bien les chocs. C'est ce qui fait la différence. Le système de ventilation est ingénieux même si je doute de son efficacité. J'ai opté pour une sacoche fixé à l'avant du cadre, bien plus pratique et accessible que fixée sous ou sur la selle. Voilà une selle confortable d'une marque réputée achetée à un prix promotionnel de 47 €. Enfin, je n'ai plus mal aux fesses à vélo !

Este sillin te permite por su ergonómia, un perfecta adaptación y confort.

Installée sur mon VTT, très confortable, aucune compression du périnée, ni aucune gêne, frottements etc Ni trop fine ni trop large, bien aérée.

Sportlicher Sattel mit deutlich erhöhtem Komfort im Vergleich zur Standardausstattung. Falls jemand jedoch noch mehr Wert auf Komfort setzen sollte, muss er auf alle Fälle die breitere Variante wählen, da hier noch die Sportlichkeit klar im Vordergrund steht

Dopo tanto peregrinare, di marca in marca, di sella in sella, finalmente ho trovato quello che cercavo. È stata un odissea ma ne è valsa la pena. Avevo preso da tempo in considerazione l'acquisto di questa sella per la mia mtb ma continuavo a fissarmi con marche apparentemente più blasonate. Dimensioni, comodità, forma, area di appoggio, estetica, chi cerca una sella deve prendere in considerazione numerosissimi fattori e difficilmente questi possono essere valutati senza provarla. Si va a tentativi. Questo sembra essere andato a buon fine. Anche se ho percorso ancora pochi Km con questa Royal, senza farmi prendere da facili entusiasmi, posso affermare che la prima impressione è davvero ottima. Il gel è estremamente comodo e torna in forma velocemente, la forma piatta permette di mantenere una superficie d'appoggio estesa. Con l'uso di un pantalone con fondello la comodità è raddoppiata e sembra permettere l'utilizzo per più ore consecutive. La scanalatura centrale per lo scarico della zona perineale è ottima. Era il mio dubbio iniziale visto che molte selle hanno un foro aperto mentre questo è chiuso ma con la giusta inclinazione la pressione è davvero minima se non quasi nulla. Servono le giuste regolazioni ma con pazienza e perizia si trova la posizione ottimale. L'areazione è buona. Esteticamente è davvero bella anche se una punta più sottile non avrebbe guastato ma basta farci l'occhio. Siamo abituati a selle extra sottili e questa non lo è ma le proporzioni sono più che accettabili e la comodità vale qualche cm in più. Se posso trovare un difetto, nel mio caso specifico, è che la largezza (160 mm) non è sufficiente a permettere l'appoggio ottimale delle mia ossa ischiatiche che tendono leggermente a uscire. 1 cm in più e sarebbe stata perfetta (sono alto 1 e 90 e porto una L abbondante per chi volesse fare un raffronto). Trovo il rapporto qualità/prezzo del prodotto assolutamente ottimo. Chi in una sella cerca comodità ed estetica, stanco di sedersi su tavole di legno, ha trovato il prodotto giusto. Assorbe molto bene urti e asperità del terreno mantenendo sembre un ottimo confort di seduta. Complimenti a Selle Royal. Soddisfatto dell'acquisto. Caldamente consigliato.
