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.

Best seat I've ever ridden. If you prefer a comfort seat such as a Cloud 9 and are wondering if this much lighter seat will still be comfortable and work for you, have no worries. I have not ridden my Cloud 9 since getting this saddle.

Oh, the Wittkop Bike Seat. It’s not just a bicycle seat; it’s a plush throne that turns every bike ride into a royal affair. If you’ve ever found yourself grimacing through a ride, wondering if your seat was made from concrete, let me introduce you to the remedy for your rear-end woes. Comfort Level: Imagine if marshmallows and memory foam had a baby and then put it on a bike. That’s the Wittkop Bike Seat. The moment you sit down, you might think you’ve accidentally ended up on a cloud. It’s so comfortable, I found myself making excuses to ride around the block just to experience the cushy goodness. You might even catch yourself humming a “ride on” tune as you glide effortlessly, feeling like a biking royalty. Design & Style: The Wittkop doesn’t just deliver on comfort; it’s also got style. With its sleek, ergonomic design, it looks like something straight out of a futuristic sci-fi film. You’ll be the envy of all your biking buddies, who’ll undoubtedly ask if you’ve upgraded to a luxury bike. The subtle design makes it suitable for both men and women, so you can ride in style without worrying about being on-trend. Installation: Installing this seat is as easy as pie—if pie were a matter of a few bolts and a wrench. The Wittkop comes with straightforward instructions and a tool for adjustment, so you won’t need a degree in engineering to get it mounted. Just be prepared to explain to your friends why you suddenly seem so much happier on your bike (it’s the seat, I swear!). Performance: On the road, the Wittkop truly shines. Long rides become a lot less painful and a lot more enjoyable. You might even find yourself taking the scenic route just to savor the comfort. If you’re not careful, you might start planning bike trips for the sheer joy of sitting on this seat. Recently road my mountain bike for 20 miles.

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.

Love this seat, very comfortable for long rides .

Very comfy, for me. Please remember that bike saddle comfort depends on a lot of things. Riding stance being a main one. I use it in a relaxed position, which means leaning forward some, but not tucked in like racing. This would not be comfortable in a racing tuck or super relaxed or upright, just like saddles meant for those stances wouldn't be comfortable in a relaxed position. Make sure to check your riding stance before getting a saddle to avoid discomfort and strain

L'ho montata sulla mia MTB Scott e l'ho usata già in una manciata di uscite, anche se devo dire il vero, non troppo lunghe, max 40 km. La sella originale mi faceva male anche per brevi uscite, mentre con questa nessun dolore, abbinata ai pantaloncini con fondello. Materiali ok, non saranno il top ma per quello che costa va alla grande Estetica bella, a parte quella croce presente sulla punta che fa un po' ambulanza... Promossa a pieni voti comunque!

Excelente articulo, fiel a la descripción, 100% recomendado !!!

Den brettharten Originalsattel meines E-Bikes hatte ich sofort nach dem Kauf durch einen weicheren, jedoch ebenso schmalen (Fischer) MTB Sattel ersetzt. Trotzdem hatte ich auf langen Touren irgendwie immer Schmerzen - mal vorn, mal hinten - je nach Ausrichtung und trotz ständiger Verstellungen und Tests. So richtig zufriedenstellend war das nie. Durch Zufall stieß ich auf diesen (Trekking) Sattel von Wittkop, welcher nun etwas breiter und auch höher aufbaut, jedoch m.E. trotzdem noch sehr sportlich und passend für ein E-Bike aussieht. Die Lieferung erfolgte problemlos wie von Amazon gewohnt über Nacht. Der Sattel wird mit einer Klemmschelle und Bolzen vormontiert geliefert, was im ersten Moment erstaunt, da man meinen könnte, er kann bei den anderen Befestigungs - Systemen gar nicht montiert werden. Die Teile lassen sich aber alle problemlos demontieren und dann kann man das gute Stück wie gewohnt problemlos an der inzwischen sehr verbreiteten Originalklemmhalterung des Bikes montieren. Der Wittkop-Sattel hat im ersten Moment eine ungewöhnliche, leicht bananenförmig anmutende Form. Wenn er jedoch einmal montiert ist, fällt dies gar nicht auf und als ich nach der Montage das erste Mal damit gefahren bin, kam mir ein erstauntes „OHAAAA“ über die Lippen! Ein völlig neues Sitzgefühl, äußerst angenehm! Man sitzt deutlich „stabiler“ - und das bei angenehmer Weichheit, ohne dass es jedoch zu schwammig wirkt. Nach kurzer Nachjustierung mittels Wasserwaage und fürs persönlich beste Empfinden habe ich nun eine super Sitzposition gefunden. Auf ca. 20 km Teststrecke hatte ich keinerlei Schmerzen mehr und die ganze Zeit diese gemütliche Sitzposition genossen. Der Wittkop Trekking - Sattel ist in meinen Augen ein gut verarbeiteter Kompromiss für all jene, die auf Komfort nicht nicht verzichten wollen und einen Sattel suchen, der trotz mehr Komforts noch sportlich ausschaut. Zur hier bereits angesprochenen „Wasserundichtigkeit“ kann ich allerdings nichts sagen, dies werden weitere Tests zeigen. Bisher meine volle Empfehlung! Interessantes Detail am Rande: Als ich nach dem (in China vermuteten) Hersteller schaute, stellte ich fest, dass der Firmensitz in Zella-Mehlis ist , 15 km Luftlinie von hier:-))

Fits my large buttocks well, a little more comfortable than my standard MTB seat, but when you are riding for hours , any little extra comfort is a bonus.
