I had a guru fit done and ensured that all the bikes that I rode were adjusted to match the results of the fit. I'd really appreciate it if you guys could suggest a comfortable saddle that won't hurt your backside over long distances.
I'm looking to buy the saddle along with the bike and replace the existing saddle on the bike. Appreciate any insights.
Cheers!
I cant give you a specific model, but from from my experience the following is true (for me). More money does Not equal more comfort. Comfort is Much more important than weight. Getting a seat with a flat, rather than convex, lateral shape and places you on your sit bones, rather than perineum, is better. Getting a seat with a cut out at the rigt spot is a revelation.
