A great saddle to improve your ride! I've put about 1,000 miles on this saddle and it's been a great improvement to my longer-ride comfort - resting more of my weight on my sit-bones
This saddle is super comfortable for me out of the box. I bought the R5 for my indoor bike where weight doesn't matter, to match the R3 on my outdoor bike. Now my setups are the same. This is more comfortable (and lighter) than my Novus boost.
I had a previous Aliante without the cutout so decided to try this one when I decided that having a cutout might be a good idea. Its not quite the same as the previous one, but with a little tweaking of the angle it is working well for me.
I used the older version of this seat for years, this is much more comfortable for long rides.
Pleased with this saddle. I choose the 155mm width version and it suits me fine. My previous saddle was narrower. I have used it for short rides and longer ones. I have had it on my bike for a couple on months.
Great saddle for a great price. Definitely have your sit bones measured first and get the right size! It can make a huge difference.
