Comfortable but not for everyone

Selle Royal bicycle saddle Manhattan City Gel (Misc.)

Customer Review

We wanted to have a comfortable saddle for a bicycle, since the saddle, which we had, was as hard as a board. This saddle is immediately its enormous width. During testing, it was considerably more comfortable than the old saddle through the padding and suspension in the first moment. But we realized quickly that you clearly sliding forward, and thus results in an increased strain on the wrists. So nothing for people who fall asleep quickly hands when cycling (for example as me). Also, by the tilting of the saddle to the rear, it was no better. The pressure on the pubic bone has increased, which is not pleasant in the long run.
On the saddle is very well made and very comfortable to sit. I would imagine that this saddle, with another bike, for example a Dutch bike, by the U-shaped handlebars could go quite well, because a bicycle from the outset upright sitting on so and therefore charged to the saddle in the back of more there where indeed the primary suspension is. But I have not tried it. For our city bike (the emphasis is on "our"), this saddle was not suitable. What is also on a part of the package of the saddle: handlebar and saddle must match. If you buy a saddle in the shop, you will be drawn to something safe. You just ordered over the Internet, you learn just from his mistakes :-). Conclusion: Three stars for a very comfortable saddle, the slightly less wide, it tapers to the front would have a little longer in this case must be. We have therefore sent him back again.
