It’s heavy, it’s pricey but I like the concept. Curious if anyone has ridden on one.

Some time ago, I seem to recall someone making the same thing-forgot what it was called. Been a good while, so obviously it didn't catch on. Guess someone is trying it again. Never ridden one nor seen one being used. .

FB targeted ads were coming at me hard with the Bisaddle for a few weeks. Never seen one, never known anyone who's tried one, and they are insanely expensive (and that's coming from someone with more than one ISM saddle) so it's a no from me, dawg.

Could be interesting as a demo product to help customers select the fixed width version of the same saddle.

Agree with ^^^ and would give it a try then review it if given one.

Intriguing concept. The trouble I have with adjustability, though, is that it would pester me to constantly tweak. I mess too frequently with height and angle as it is.

Both my road bikes have an ISM Prologue (now the PL1.1) saddle on them. I've been riding on an ISM since 2012 and have loved every mile on them. The price has gone up since the last one I bought, 3 years ago, but still cheaper than the BiSaddle.

There was a saddle with a similar concept back in the 90's that only pivoted at the rear, not the front. Interesting concept.

While not this saddle, I've been on a Serfas Rx for years now and it kind of adjusts itself. No complaints from me, I agree on not liking to adjust things as I always have a nagging voice in my head telling me to adjust. I think my Serfas was $30

If only there was a material that saddles could be made from that would gradually adjust and conform to one's individual shape, without forming hot-spots.

You could even make shoes and wallets and stuff like that from it.
