BiSaddle saddle

Disclaimer I dont own stock in the company

I didnt get it for free or at a discount

I do think it is the best saddle I have ever had

Like a lot riders I have about 12/15 different saddles in the garage

everything from $ 20.00 planet bike saddles to $ 200.00 ISM Brooks and Selle ect ect

I have also borrowed and traded numerous others

With the adjustable width front and rear and adjustable contour I have finally found a saddle that I have absolutely no numbness

I dont have the nose pointed down having to fight sliding forward either like almost all other saddles I have rode

And my sit bones and tail bone are not sore after riding

It is a foam type that I thought would not be firm enough when I first took it out of the box but it is

Overall I highly recommend one

I have the Shape Shifter Ext Sprint they make 2 other models also


It is not cheap and its not light

Everybodys butt is different but with the companies 90 day money back guarantee whats there to lose except the shipping back if it doesnt work ?

I have one on my Canyon Endurace bike. I replaced a Fabric saddle. The Bisaddle is more comfortable and the tightness in my lower back has went away. So far I stuck with the settings it came with. I am thinking of buying another one for my other bike.

What are the dozen or so in the garage?
I'm a buyer for those lousy: Brooks Professional, SelleAnatomica, Ideale, Gyes, Selle SMP, and a few others.

PM me.

I am also thinking about buying another one
Right now I have it on my drop bar bike but I plan on trying it on my upright "neighbor hood" bike a Gary Fischer Utopia Hybrid
If it works on it then I will buy another

Good to hear it’s working for you. The design concept of the adjustability seems to make a lot sense to me. Once the right fit is determined it comes down to the quality and comfort of the pad and cover.

Which rail system did you get and What’s the longest ride or most time y’all have spent on it riding so far?

I have a riding buddy who can only ride Bisaddles. He rode PBP, no problem, has a wall of kilometer-hound medals. So far I've made do with the usual 20 saddles in the cardboard box.

I have the chrome moly as I am close to the weight limit
I am a CLYDE even when I am skinny which I am not now I weigh 220

So far I have ridden with it about 125 miles
Longest time has been 2 1/2 hours distance 25 miles (I am sloooowww)
and the only reason I stopped is I wasnt prepared for a longer ride didnt bring enough water and I got hungry !

I have been "semi serious riding for me" about 10 years but my distance and time in the saddle has always been limited by pain.
I have severe spinal stenosis in my L2/L3 and
along with tail bone sit bone pain and numbness issues in my lower bits and sciatica in my legs
even after having 2 pro fittings. I have never been able ride more than 30 miles at one time since I started riding again
but this saddle has made a huge difference for me

This is the first product endorsement I have ever written for anything !
Thats how much of a difference this saddle has made for me
