Wittkop Bike Seat I Bicycle Seat for Men and Women, Waterproof Bike Saddle with Innovative 5-Zone-Concept I Exercise Bike Seat for BMX, MTB & Road

I wish I could give this seat 10 stars. I am not an avid bike rider, but last July I rode the Great Allegheny Passage with my two kids. It's about 150 miles that we did over the course of four days. I did one 30 mile ride in preparation before we left and a few shorter rides around my neighborhood. I used the stock seat from my GT mountain bike and my butt would hurt after only a few miles. By the end of the 30 mile ride, my butt was by far the sorest part of my body. After four days on the GAP trail, my body was sore generally, but nothing nearly as bad as butt. We decided to ride the GAP trail again last week. Before we left I figured I would try another seat. A lot of what you read says the seat doesn't really matter and it's more about just getting your butt used to it by riding a lot, so I didn't think a new seat would do much, but I figured for around $40 it was worth a shot. I ordered the touring version. After doing basically no training beforehand, and riding my bike 150 miles in four days, I had ZERO soreness. This seat is FREAKING AMAZING. I did wear mountain biking shorts that were padded for two of the days, but that was more to prevent chafing than anything and I really don't think they were even necessary. Honestly, this seat is 100000 times better than the stock seat. I was thinking it would be an improvement, but fully expected to be in pain to some extent, but I literally had no pain at all. I was amazed about halfway through the first day when my butt hadn't started hurting and even more surprised when I finished each day and zero pain. Overall, I would give this seat 10 stars if I could. It's super comfortable for long rides and looks great too.

I started cycling last year and didn't believe they hype train for the direction many people take the hobby. I avoided shoes that snapped into the pedals, I didn't buy the fastest possible bike, and my seat wasn't going to be a 3in piece of hard plastic that had a non-zero chance of being inserted into an uncomfortable position. I've learned that my bike frame does make a difference, the pedals don't to any significant degree, and my seat has viable comfortable options available. Last year I challenged myself to ride a century ride (100mi) every month. In July I rode back to back 125mi rides over two days (total of 250mi) on this seat. For a man with a slightly wider hip set (I'm 5'11 200lbs) the touring seat is a dream. It's formed so if you're seated right your butt bones will connect in the right spot, but it also provides additional cushion. I've put about 3000mi on the seat so far, and while it looks used now, there are not splits and signs of significant wear. Many people warned me that cushioned seats will hurt you over time, but anecdotally I have proven that incorrect. If I rode 250mi over two days and this seat didn't cause sore/welts etc, then I'm inclined to believe it will work for just about any amateur or hobby rider. You're still going to need to get used to it. Cycling will always hurt your butt after hours of saddle time, by the end of the season last year though, my butt felt just fine after each new century. Buy this one. It's the best bet for a sore butt. Also, don't forget to use an anti chafe/perspiration cream or bar. The seat makes you comfortable, it doesn't do magic. Quick Update: I bought a carbon fiber road bike from Canyon and wanted to try the road variant of this seat on it. While the seat is cushy and the same quality, my hips just don't want to connect with the smaller seat as well. I've doubled down and bought a second "Touring" edition so I don't have to move my original touring wikkitop seat back and forth from my hybrid and road bikes. Anyone that is a smaller frame or narrower hips, the road variant may be your go to, but for me I'm just going to continue using the touring seat. UPDATE: I've completed about a dozen century rides and one ride of 170 mi. I've also bought a second of these seats for my commuter bike. For my butt this seat does the trick. With bicycle shorts I get no saddle sores and very little sore butt. Keep in mind that any seat is going to hurt when you first start, you have to condition your body for bicycling Update 2: I've now ridden STP (Seattle to Portland) and can say this seat held up to a 200+ mile ride. I have noticed some breakdown in the cushion of my original seat. This is after about 5-7 thousand miles. I think that's reasonable durability. Eventually I'll replace that seat, but I'm still using it now. This seat remains 5stars all day.

This saddle is a replacement saddle for a mountain bike. My MTB had a real top quality saddle already but I recently converted it to a comfort commuter bike for a little while while i overhaul my "daily driver" so the MTB saddle is a bit too sporty and I need something more comfortable to commute to work with. This saddle is Great they have 3 versions, a narrow sporty model, a big fat comfort seat, and thie one i chose was somewhere in the middle, not to sporty not too chonky... Just right! And it is just right, very comfortable and gives great support and cushion while being narrow enough to not get in the way of pedaling. Its really a perfect saddle except for one aspect and for me its a pretty big deal. The texture of the saddle is extremely grippy or tacky. It grips my pants and has no slip at all. If i need to adjust my butt on the seat i have to c9me completely out of the saddle, adjust, then set my weight down again. At first i figured it wouldn't be a big deal but I ride 30 miles or more at least 5 days a week... I noticed in just a few days just how many time i need to adjust myself on the seat each day. I never noticed before because i never had a seat that was so grippy. I'm going to leep ot on and see if i get used to it... Maybe I shouldn't move around so much! Aside from that one glitch, its probably the best saddle I've bought for that low of s price so im. Mostly happy with it. And if uou prefer a grippy seat maybe this is your solution.

Love this seat, very comfortable for long rides .

I bought this seat in 2022. I like the seat itself, for me it is comfortable for a daily commute of about 4 miles each way. This being said after 3 years the metal "rails" which attach the saddle to the post snapped, so I had to purchase a new seat. Update. Wittkop saw my review and offered a refund. I changed my score because they stand by their product. I will not use the refund, as I am happy with the product. I purchased a new post, and will see how long the new saddle holds up. The seat is on a daily commuter and I am over 200lbs...

251214: Every butty's different, so take this review with that in mind. Initially, I was pleased with the comfort of this saddle over my previous saddle, which was closer to a quasi-comfort road saddle from Selle. On rides up to 12 miles at a time, it was more comfortable than the Selle. When I rode it 27 miles one way and then 27 miles back, my butt was in enough pain on the ride back that I was taking opportunities to stand on the pedals to get my butt off the saddle. This experience made me look more closely at the design. It has two prominent pads that rise up to meet the butt bones, which does provide cushioning, but over time that cushioning, focused only or primarily on the butt bones, became uncomfortable for me. I have switched to an X-Wing saddle, which has a still-cushioned but flatter sitting area. After a couple of short rides, I'm liking it, but the real test will be a lengthy ride next spring. (I should mention that I do not use padded cycling shorts.)

I’ve had a hard time finding a bike saddle that works for me. I used a Brooks B-17 for a few years, but it never seemed like it was breaking in. I had another old Brooks B-72 which was at least 30 years old, that was nice and broken in. I’m too old at this point in my life to screw around with saddles. I just want my ass not to hurt when I’m riding my bike. I read some reviews of the Wittkop and took a chance on it. I was not disappointed. This saddle provides support and cushion. I liked it so much I bought another one for my MTB. Really great saddle that’s priced right too.
