I tried the Forte Easy Rider Saddle, which was better, but it still put too much pressure on my perineum. Based on much appreciated previous reviews, I decided to try this seat, and I'm glad I did. It's a keeper. I concur with the comments of other reviewers that it takes some getting used to, particularly the absence of a "nose." And, it is smaller and less cushy than I expected given its "soft gel cover". But, I can ride much longer without discomfort on this saddle, and my sit bones don't hurt when I'm done. Unlike other saddles I have tried, I can use a broad range of sitting positions as I ride, even placing my weight mostly on my thighs instead of my sit bones for a time (because of the absence of the "nose"), which eliminates the pressure and numbness experienced with other saddles on a long ride. I opted for the Ultimate model with the Lycra cover, because previous reviews suggested it is the cushiest. It's none too cushy, and the Lycra is quite slick when wearing padded bike shorts. But, wearing cotton knit shorts over the padded bike shorts provides good grip on the seat. I did not lower my seat by 1" as recommended in the instructions, as it feels "right" as it is, and I preserved the optimal distance from my hip to the pedals. And, I tilted the angle of the seat upward (raising the front and lowering the back) using the adjustable seat clamp on my seat post, to avoid the feeling of sliding forward mentioned by some reviewers. This combination works for me, and it doesn't feel like I'm going to slip off the back of the seat. I will be interested to see how the Lycra holds up over time. I've ridden a few hundred miles over several weeks since I purchased it and it shows no wear. But, if the Lycra wears out over the next year or two, I will still probably replace it with one of the vinyl-covered Ergo The Seat models, because the design eliminates pressure on my perineum, and the pain on my sit bones. It's a keeper. Review: Tingling is completely gone. - I was starting to hate riding due to the severe pain from a regular seat. This one really did the trick. I don't feel any more pain or tingling in my crotch anymore. Although, my sit bones do get somewhat more sore than they used to. It feels less sore each time, so it will probably go away with more exercise, unlike perennial damage which can remain permanently. Unlike some other reviewers, I didn't notice even a slight loss of control. I still veer around corners and am able to bicycle with one hand on the handles (when drinking water) like I used to. I guess I wasn't making use of the horn at all. If there is one downside to the seat, it's that it may not be waterproof. I haven't tested it myself, but I get the feeling that if water were to get into this seat, it would be extremely difficult to get it out. The material is cushiony and airy and there's no waterproof finish to seal all the pores in the seat. As such, I would recommend bringing something plastic along to cover it with when it's rainy. For now, I'm just using the plastic packaging it came with, but it will need an actual seat cover. As such, add about $10-$20 more for the seat cover. As far as I'm concerned, ~$50 for no more crotch pain is a great deal. One other thing I noticed is that there are no installation instructions. When I first put it on, it seemed to push me forward too far. Then I turned it backwards (the steel rod under the bike is up towards the back of the seat but the seat itself is facing forward). That made it much more comfortable. I wish they included some instructions. As of now, I have no clue whether I was supposed to install it the way I did, or if the bottom part is backwards. Either way, the seat is still very comfortable so I guess it's no big deal. I would have taken one star out for the lack of installation instructions, but I'm so happy that that dang tingling is gone for good. Such a relief. All in all, this seat is excellent, but expect to feel a tiny bit of soreness in your sit bones. That's still better than risking reproductive damage 10 years from now. ## Features - Innovative, horn-less bicycle saddle designed to eliminate pain and numbness - Moving rider's weight to the sit-bones and pressure off soft tissues and organs - Lycra-covered soft gel seat for increased cushioning - Standard rail-mount fits most seat posts without additional hardware or adapters - The saddle dimensions are 9 Inches wide by 6 Inches long. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000AO7MKM | | Bike Type | Road Bike | | Brand Name | ERGO | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 420 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00687591010009 | | Item Weight | 16 ounces | | Manufacturer | Ergo | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1000-9 | | Material Type | Lycra covered gel cushion. | | Model Number | 01000-9 | | Outer Material | Gel | | Pad Type | Gel Pad | | UPC | 687591010009 | ## Images ![Ergo The Seat Ultimate Bicycle Saddle, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61m7ZPzzbvL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will a man find this comfortable to exercycle with?** A: I bought one last summer so I have some experience with the seat. It does eliminate the problems with the crotch area simply because the center console that exists on a typical bike seat is not there. That's the "plus". Size wise I am about 5'10" 230 lbs. For my needs I would have liked more of a soft, comfortable, cushion for my butt - and I would have liked for the seat to be about 1" to 2" wider to provide for more lateral support. The seat (to me) just seems inadequate in those 2 key comfort areas. **Q: which bicycle seat would you recommend for ladies that just ride for pleasure** A: The purpose of the horn on a bicycle seat is to help with balance. I have used the Ergo hornless seat only on an exercise bicycle, so cannot say how it would work on a regular bicycle. **Q: Does anyone know how to contact the manufacturer for a new rail?** A: Forget it...the rail is made of cheep soft metal... you'll have to buy a new one. **Q: Does this seat fit a spinning bike?** A: I bought it for a standard folding bike ant it fits very well. I also have a magnetic resistance exercise bike, and it does not fit (this kind of bikes has a large tube diameter. But I suppose it will fit a standard spinning bike. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's a Keeper *by F***Y on September 25, 2012* The stock seat that came with my bike was incredibly uncomfortable for my 57-year-old backside.

I sunk $80 into this saddle and it is the worst thing I ever put under my tookis aside from my old quarter horse who threw me two times for every three that I rode her. I have to say upfront that this saddle gave me NO PAIN in the girl parts. What a joy to not have that right out of the chute...BUT...I recently participated in a longer bike event and by the time I hit mile 12, I was utterly EXHAUSTED from fighting to not only keep my balance but to keep from sliding off the front of the seat onto my bars.My shoulders were so sore within twelve miles that I felt like I had been pumping iron for an hour...wrists were killing me because I was continually trying to push myself backward to stay in the saddle. I was terrified for the long run. By the time I had reached the five mile point, I got off my bike and called my husband to meet me and switch out to my old saddle. I mean to tell you, I felt in a very dangerous situation no matter the adjustments (gave it the benefit of the doubt on the long ride). I am the recipient of owning an eighty dollar saddle that I rode a total of twelve miles. Not a bargain if you consider that's about seven bucks a minute. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1823469-ergo-the-seat-ultimate-bicycle-saddle-black](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1823469-ergo-the-seat-ultimate-bicycle-saddle-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
