        Comments about Profile Tri-Stryke Saddle - Men's:

        Since suffering from numbness riding the stock saddle my bike came with, I decided to try a new seat. This one has alleviated the majority of problems, though the numbness has returned on longer rides (1 hour +). If you are looking for a comfortable saddle for a beginner rider, this is a good option. Good deal for the price.

        • Too flexible

        • Mountain Biking

        Comments about Profile Tri-Stryke Saddle - Men's:

        The saddle is nice looking giving your bike a sharp look. I have put in about 200 miles on the saddle. For climbing it is perfect. Aero position not so comfy as the seat flexes too much causing you too bounce on pedal strokes. For commuting I would not recommend as the gel in the seat gets really soft and on long rides through the city the middle section of the seat bends in, giving you numbness. Weighing around 145 lbs the seat does its job.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

            Comments about Profile Tri-Stryke Saddle - Men's:

            I was optimistic at first about this saddle. I was hoping it would be comfortable. At first sight, it seemed promising. The package mentioned that it was waterproof and would provide hours of comfort for the rider. Well, I can't speak about the waterproof ability of it, but the comfort factor was terrible. I tried to give it a chance and rode with it for two weeks, thinking that there might be a "break in" period needed. I returned the saddle since the ride-ability did not improve. I experienced the worst pain I have ever felt from a bike saddle with this one. I used to think stock saddles were of the worst comfort quality but my experience has shown me that while this saddle looks comfortable and even makes the bike look (like that of a more serious rider's bike), it has cost me two days recovery time due to how uncomfortable it is.
            DO NOT BUY THIS SADDLE!!!

            Comments about Profile Tri-Stryke Saddle - Men's:

            You will like the difference that this seat makes. I upgraded from a stock road saddle to this for riding more forward for an aero position. It felt great from the first ride. I have ridden about 300 miles on it with zero complaints. I ride from 20 miles up to 62 miles at a time.

            Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
