This anatomically shaped women's Respiro saddle combines gel technology and a shock-absorbent base for a comfortable ride.

  • This recreational saddle is perfect for those who ride more than 100 miles per month
  • Royalgel™ padding reduces the peaks of pressure on the saddle and distributes the rider's weight across its surface to relieve the seat bone
  • Ventilation channel helps keep you cool
  • Saddle cover reflects the sun instead of absorbing it's heat, thus promoting cool comfort
  • Elastomer pads absorb shock and reduce vibration
  • Integrated Clip System in the base of the saddle allows quick attachment and removal of I.C.S. accessories, such as bags and safety lights

Imported.

        I bought this saddle to replace the one that came with my bike. BIG difference! It makes me want to ride longer and farther. Enjoyable all over again. Nothing hurts-down there.

        Only saddle that works for me

        Pros

        • Very wide center cut out
        • Wide enough for women

        Cons

          Best Uses

          • Mountain Biking
          • Road Biking

          Comments about Respiro Moderate Bike Saddle - Women's:

          I bought this saddle because it looked wide enough for my seat bones. All other saddles are too narrow, my seat bones hang on the outside of the saddle and the entire saddle ends up compressing into my soft parts. That makes riding very painful. With this saddle my seat bones are supported and because of the very wide center cut out, nothing hurts. I can finally ride for longer periods of time, of course it is recommended to stand up in the saddle for 10 strides out of every 10 minutes or so, but no other saddle fits me this well, and I have tried many!

              Comments about Respiro Moderate Bike Saddle - Women's:

              I rode RAGBRAI this year (475 miles across Iowa in 7 days). I couldn't bear the thought of this ride on my old saddle that I had been training on, so one week before the ride I bought this saddle. I was concerned about changing saddles so close to the ride, but I have no regrets. No more numbness and the right amount of padding for long rides. Minimal butt soreness.
