Could you go into more detail (as much as you're "comfortable" with!)? Serious question, I'm considering buying.
Each cup holds the bones in my butt. They can be moved in and out to find the fit, then as you're cycling, they move up and down with your leg.
I find the gap between the two avoids putting pressure on my taint, which is nice.
I tend to be relatively upright when cycling, but I've also used it in a more horizontal position. It's comfy in each.
Any unanticipated downsides? What about pants?
No downsides that I can think of. They're basically a drop in replacement for a regular saddle.
I bike in either pants or soccer shorts and briefs. The saddle is fine with those. I don't notice abnormal wear or bunching.
Years ago I used to wear cycling shorts and they seemed fine as well, but that was loooooong ago.
Yep. Lycra is overrated! I cycled 2500 km last year in shorts 'n boxers. Admittedly with double suspension.
Very interesting and useful feedback, thanks.
I ride exclusively in boxers and regular street clothes, no problem. I usually ride on Brooks or Selle Royale saddles though depending on which bike and setup I'm using.
So, somewhere between a razor blade and an ironing board with springs.
Interesting data point. I confess that I'm a bit skeptical when hardened (pun intended) cyclists talk of how comfortable their various saddles are. In my experience it's the first few days that matter, after that you'll basically be numbed to anything. Which is why I was surprised not get any problems - literally the first time ever - from the epically squidgy throne-like saddle on my cheapie new Chinese e-bike last year. Only one explanation: the double (front and rear) suspension. Would not have guessed but it really makes all the difference.
Not how I'd describe any of my saddles but ok.
