Serfas® men's RX bike saddles have been engineered and clinically found to help in the prevention of cycling-induced genital numbness.

  • A groove from tip to tail shifts rider's weight to inner thighs and buttocks, avoiding contact with the perineum, relieving pelvic discomfort
  • Also, the majority of rider weight is placed on the rear of the saddle, further reducing pressure against the perineal artery
  • Dual Density base technology absorbs shock and allows the base to flex in critical areas
  • Three layered platforms of varying firmness combine critical support and padding for day-long comfort
  • Men's saddle is slightly narrower than the women's, with a slightly longer nose

Imported.

    Comments about Serfas RX Saddle - Men's:

    Lets face it, ALL bikes seats are basically uncomfortable you will never get that setting on the couch feel no matter what BUT this seat is just about as good as you're going to find.
    The open groove down the middle works well, the padding is sufficient, its reasonably lightweight as long you are not a full blown racer counting every gram.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Serfas RX Saddle - Men's:

    This saddle is a great saddle for softness and comfortable riding for under maybe 2 hours. Anymore and I started to feel a little numb. I actually used this on my MTBike too a few times and although kinda heavy, it served the purpose. As far as durability, it withstood a few falls, but now after a few months of summer riding my one left corner is starting to wear out into the foam that sourrounds the gelpaks. I would reccomend this seat, but only to someone under 200lbs to get the full effect.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    I finally had got this after I was fed up with my stock seat on my MTBike and was getting into biking 10-20 miles at a time. I've done a few rides of 50 miles and it has been great! No more soreness!

    Comments about Serfas RX Saddle - Men's:

    This didn't really work for me. I love the cut-out design but the padding/overall shape wasn't the best for me. The saddle is quite unattractive, the graphics even seem to scream "comfort bike" (which would be OK if I was actually comfortable).
    There is no gel but there are two densities of foam.
    I went with a Terry Fly Chro-mo Gel saddle that I don't even think about when I'm riding.

    Comments about Serfas RX Saddle - Men's:

    I threw this on my commuter a few years ago to replace the aging stock saddle. This one is too soft and flimsy. It did not take long for the cover to crack. It's better to spend twice as much once than to spend half as much twice.

    This is best used for short trips beginning and ending in your garage.

    Comfortable - for me

          Comments about Serfas RX Saddle - Men's:

          Ok, for a serious cyclist a comfortable saddle is the most difficult component to find. Some people swear by narrow ones, others like wide ones, gel, carbon, titanium, leather, or whatever. I've owned a saddle considered by many to be among the most comfortable ever made (a Brooks B17) and found it too slippery -- I kept sliding forward to the saddle nose, and although my butt wasn't sore after a ride, I was getting chafed from slipping forward and backwards. And I've tried many other saddles as well, from the cheap to those costing $200 or more. For me, at my size and weight (175 lbs), this saddle works. The center channel and slight flex of the two halves for me at least prevents any numbness in my nether regions (something other saddles sometimes invoke). And my sit bones are not sore, even after I cross the line on a century ride. Yes, it looks dorky on my 17 lb full carbon road bike, but it works for me. I also have one on my carbon hardtail, and on my touring bike. The graphics on the saddle do wear off quickly, but hey, I already have a dork saddle on my bikes, so who cares? Bottom line: [...] You can't tell from a ride around the block. You need to go and ride for 3-4 hours, and then determine whether you should exchange it or not. Oh, and expect to spend the first 30 minutes or more tweaking it in -- fore/aft position, nose tilt, and height. So keep it pristine on the test ride, don't destroy the packaging when you open it, and keep trying saddles until you, your butt, and your package are all happy.

            Comments about Serfas RX Saddle - Men's:

            I was recommended this seat [...] to use on my mountain bike so I bought my wife the women’s version and I bought this one. Neither of us can ride on it for more than a an hour without numbness and soreness the next day. I weight 250 lbs and my wife weights 190 lbs so I suggest this seat is not effective for heavier people.

              Comments about Serfas RX Saddle - Men's:

              I am giving this seat five stars base on what is supposed to be, and not considering what it is NOT supposed to be. It is not a racing or hard core biker seat so I couldn't care less about a few grams of weight either way and wear should be expected with a breathable fabric. I just switched out my stock seat and, WOW, what a difference! The padding and ventilation is awesome. After a 20 mile ride on roads and root encrusted, hard pack trails, my butt felt no discomfort at all. Much more than I can say for my old seat.

              Any saddles in this design are best for MTB. However, I didn't bought mine in this price range cause it's a litle pricey compared from the [$]BELL offerings [...]. and it really works! for a long long ride.

              Comments about Serfas RX Saddle - Men's:

              Feeling this seat in the store and after I put it on my bike, I was more than ready to give it a go. I was a little disappointed shortly after I started riding. The cushion seemed to not be there. I'm guessing this seat is not the best for a heavier fellow (I'm 255 pounds) but might be fine for someone a bit lighter. I'm saying I would recommend this to a friend, but he or she would have to be considerably lighter than me.
