Designed for casual cruising on a hybrid. IMO this would be a much better choice for a comfortable road bike saddle: Kontact Saddle

One of the most common issues people have with their bikes is dealing with a hard and unforgiving seat.
Actually, one of the most common saddle issues is having too soft a saddle. The more you sink into a saddle, the larger is the quantity of tissue with reduced blood supply, which is the major source of discomfort for most new riders. These look like pretty soft saddles. The manufacturer which seems to have the widest success rate with roadies is Specialized. Most LBS which are Specialized dealers have a buy-and-return policy so you can try saddles until you find one which works for you. The way to condition your butt to a saddle is to ride for a short period almost every day.

BTW, it is made with a sturdy leather cover so it does take a little break-in. For me about 1 week or ~200 miles.

I have tried this seat and rode it on a circumnavigation of the North Island of New Zealand. I found it to be very comfortable and there was no chaffing and tail bone pain like I used to get. It is not really a soft seat, you just don't get uncomfortable.

I bought my husband a Challenger Mountain bike seat by RideOut and he is very happy with it. He is not really an very aggressive rider. But mostly due to work he only rides on the weekend and he likes the seat.
