A little firmer than the original, but so far so good, especially at $25.
Mine was comfortable right from the start but after an hour or so I went numb in the twig & berries, totally numb. I stopped to get off the bike and get the feeling back. while I was stopped I decided to try lowing the nose a bit. The adjustment I made wasn't even visible, I loosened the back bolt about 3 turns and tightened the front bolt the same. After that adjustment I had no issues at all.
