Pros

Cons

Other Thoughts

I have tried out several seats for my Rad Mini and they have all been uncomfortable. This is the first seat I can ride with and not come home hurting.

Pros

Most Comfortable Saddle Made
Nice Looking for a large seat
Little to NO Fatigue on long rides

Cons

The Poly Cover Scuffs up Quickly in High Abrasion Locations i.e, seat Tongue and Rear Balls, the scuffing is really minor in the larger scheme of things.

After Two to Three Years of heavy use the cover will start to crack, this is about the time that the padding starts to fatigue which means it's time to replace it anyway.

I took 1 STAR off for the cover cracking after several years of use although really I feel I've more than got my money's worth at this point.

Other Thoughts

This is my third replacement of the Selle Royal Respiro series seats and I just love them so much that I bought 4 this time around, I have two Road Bikes I use them on, so that I would not run out for some time. I've used mainly the Moderate and Relaxed seats which both work well for me. This seat has taken away my seat fatigue issue which would make it difficult for me to go more than 40 miles without feeling beat up. Now I can go easily 70 miles or better with little worries. I use to ride very expensive Selle San Marco Saddles and loved them but as I have aged I found the seats were not as comfortable for me which lead me to the Selle Royal line.

Pros

Good Seat! Pretty Comfortable!

Cons

Not as good on Long Treks. Could be a little wider!!
