Any good saddle on Amazon.com?
Just wondering, if there are any saddles on Amazon.com that you would recommend? Budget under $50. Cheaper the better.

You get the picture. :) |
Saddles are a very specific and personal choice based on different preferences and sit bone widths, etc. That said, the
Planet Bike Men's A.R.S. Anatomic Relief Bicycle Saddle ($24.99 - $44.99) and Avenir Groove Lite Saddle (Black/Grey, Groove Lite (M)) ($19.99) have pretty positive Amazon reviews at least. FWIW, I have the Avenir saddle on my wish list right now to replace the stock seat (too wide for my comfort these days) on my hybrid. At $20, if someone else buys it, it's not a huge loss to anyone if it's not perfect. Since I can't afford a nicer (e.g., Brooks) saddle right now, and so many of the other cheap options are "comfort" saddles that are 2 miles wide, stuffed to the gills with padding and gel and weigh 5 pounds, I think this one will do the trick... I know it's gotta be better than what I have on the top of my seatpost now at least. |
Bike saddle is one of those thing you don't want cheap out too much on. Also, you can find pretty much anything on Amazon. A lot of bike specific vendors: Nashbar, Bike Somewhere, Niagara Cycle Works etc. sell through Amazon's affiliate program. I really like WTB saddles, I pretty much used them exclusively for many years on all my bikes. WTB Speed V Progel Saddle is pretty good and will fit your budget.
Those big padded saddles are bad for you. A little padding is all you need. |
