Been doing alot of research on saddles. Trying to see what people on here would suggest. I want something comfortable. I plan on doing some Tris next year but the stock seat now is driving me crazy. I've had some people suggest ISM and Koobi. But not sure what type to get. I will take any suggestions.

I have the ISM Adamo Race saddle. Some say its a bit stiff but IMO its not as stiff as many regular road seats I've been on, and besides its ergonomic shape is so comfortable, stiff or not you will love it. I climb off my bike and its like I barely even rode it.

Go with either the Adamo ISM, or the Fizik Arione Tri2.

The majority of people I know ride these saddles.

The Adamo ISM will take some getting used too.... since you're sitting on a different part it may hurt a bit your first few times out. The Arione will take a bit of adaptation as well, but it's pretty comfy right from the start.

I've tried both and my personal preference is the ISM.

My road bike has a Specialized saddle, which is great for my road bike position, and I have done plenty of centuries on it, but my tri bike is a different position, and I have the ISM Adamo. Plenty of long rides, and a couple of tris, including one full IM, and I am happy with it, as well
