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

  • A slot 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
  • New 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
  • As opposed to a man's bike saddle, the women-specific design incorporates a wider back to accommodate wider pelvic bones and a slightly shorter nose

Imported.

      Comments about Serfas RX Saddle - Women's:

      Of course when I first bought my bike the seat that came with it was very painful. A day of numbness could be expected after a morning of cycling. Women, don't expect to be comforatble on a man's saddle, it's just not realistic for hour + trips. That being said, there's a variety of women's saddles designed for different performance levels. I take my road bike out for fun on the weekends for 2-3 hours. I not involved in any serious racing, thus, the investment I put into my bike is for recreation and enjoyment only. This saddle was less expensive (by half in many cases) than other brands, so I went with it. I would say my pain decreased 90%. So this saddle may not be as comfortable as a saddle on a cruising bike, but for the money, it's definitely a huge improvement.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Good Entry Level Saddle

      Comments about Serfas RX Saddle - Women's:

      This is a good entry level saddle. If you don't have bike shorts, you could go for a ride and not be uncomfortable. If you are concerned about bicycle weight, this is not a great choice. The only problem I had was inner thigh chaffing on rides over 35-40 miles, and ultimately bought a new saddle. I enjoyed this brand for years!

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Comments about Serfas RX Saddle - Women's:

        For the record, there is NO perfect saddle for every single butt. Like everything else, a saddle has to fit your anatomy. This saddle fits my butt and having just finished a 1,000 mile bike tour, I still love this saddle. I admit I had a problem at first but realized that this particular saddle has to be level or slightly pointed down, not up. This will eliminate many of the issues mentioned in other posts. But, beware, if this saddle does not fit your own personal "sit bones", it will not work. For me, this is the saddle I will put on all my bikes.

        Comments about Serfas RX Saddle - Women's:

        My wife got this saddle after a female friend of ours recommended it. Both of them had experienced "female" discomfort issues with other saddles, and my wife just commented on our last ride how this saddle makes riding much less painful and much more enjoyable for her. If you're a woman and having discomfort from your bike seat, I'd recommend giving this one a try. It's not super light so if you're a hardcore racer then it might not be the ideal saddle, but otherwise it's probably worth a try.

        Uncomfortable

          Comments about Serfas RX Saddle - Women's:

          I'm not a serious cyclist by any means, but I like to take 1-2 hour trips on weekends on a paved path near my house. I needed a seat that wouldn't give me "bicycle butt," and I didn't want to invest in a couple of pairs of bike shorts. Unfortunately, this seat turned out to be more uncomfortable than the one that came with my bike. It is too narrow for me, and I will be exchanging it for something wider and squishier.

          I bought this saddle hoping that my search for a comfortable seat would be over. After reading the other reviews I thought the seat would be perfect. Unfortunately this saddle is going back.I ride for 10 miles 3 times a week and this saddle just doesn't give me a comfortable ride. The seat feels stiff and hard. It's definitely not the worst seat I've ever had which is why I gave it 3 stars.One good thing about the seat is that it comes with a 90 day return policy, so you can try it and return it if you don't like it.Anyway my search continues...

            It's a great comfy saddle. I love it and can't see myself going to anything else. This saddle has made it possible to go on long rides on the weekends. The only problem with it is the plastic piece in the front. As long as you don't hit yourself with it, it's the best saddle ever.

              Comments about Serfas RX Saddle - Women's:

              Replaced my talebones saddle on the mountain bike with this one three years ago and found it to be very comfortable, even on a 60 and 80 mile ride.

              I purchased a road bike this summer and quickly replaced the saddle with this one since I've had no problems with this Rx. While it isn't a 'racing' saddle and not the lightest seat out there, it is comfortable and the price can't be beat. A number of my girlfriends have this one also. As for durability, the only thing wearing is the lettering, which isn't a problem. I'm confident that I won't have any issues after riding the MS150 this weeekend.

                After many bikes and many more saddles, I was having issues on longer rides. I saw the "RX" label and gave it a try. Now I love it so much I've thought about buying another, since I switch it between bikes!

                It's been fantastic on long rides. I know it's said not to wear well, but the only thing that has worn off mine in two+ years of heavy use is some of the decoration! I'd never go back to a "normal" saddle.
