  • Royal Vacuum patented technology allows the saddle to be 100% sealed and substantially waterproof—even in heavy, wet weather
  • Cool Cover composition reflects sunlight to keep your saddle 77°F (25°C) cooler than a standard black saddle so you can leave your bike in the sun without thinking twice
  • Anatomically designed cutout allows air to flow through the saddle, ensuring a nonsweaty, breezy feeling and reduced pressure in the perineal area
  • Elastomers absorb severe shocks without making a sound
  • Scuff guards on the sides increase resistance to impacts and abrasions, so you can lean your bike against anything without worry
  • Integrated clip system at the rear makes it easy to attach a Selle Royal saddle bag or other accessories (not included)

Great for all round speed riding
Bought one 3 yrs ago for 1 bike & like it so much I buy a 2nd one for my folding bike. I'm almost 70 yrs old & used to race in college using Brooks leather saddle. This is amazingly supportive & no break-in (like Brooks).

Comfortable. Does it last?
The seat gives a comfortable ride. The ventilation seems to work. My only problem is this: Seat started splitting after about a year. I'm not sure how this could happen. I'm not overweight, under 200 pounds. It started splitting on both sides. I keep the bike inside, so it's not like it's sitting out in the sun and rain. I'm not sure what the warranty on this seat is.

Wonderful

I got this saddle with my Orbea ebike 2.5 years ago and have found it to be really comfortable once I rode regularly. I no longer need pants with chamois. It is that good!

Finally found the right one for me

The seat that came with my bike was not for me. It was too hard and too narrow. Tried another but not much of a difference. However, on my third try, this Selle Royal Respiro Moderate Saddle was just right for me. Firm yet comfortable, a good width, and an open center. The saddle is well made with quality materials that should last for many, many miles. Great for a tour/city/hybrid type bike.

Really good bike saddle without breaking the bank

I was looking to change my bike saddles since I had been using the default one for a long time and I never found it too comfortable. I looked for saddles and many were either too big, more like for easy cruising around town, too sporty for the fast guys in their road bikes, or too pricey so I settled for this because, to me, it was the perfect in between. I comfortable without being too bulky or funny looking; It allows you to keep a fast posture and go hard but providing more cushion than a regular road bike saddles. I have been using it for several months and I would not want to change it at all. From easy 10 mile rides to longer 30-40 it is a great choice. If I have to point a complaint is the "ventilation system" I think it is more for show than for anything else but I don't find it necessary anyway.

Great seat, even for long rides.

I bought one several years ago and now have one on each of my 4 bikes. I just completed a 340 mile ride and was comfortable the whole time.

No pain, all gain!

Best bike saddle ever! It only took a few rides get accustomed to the fit. No pain, no heat build up, just a pleasure ride on.

A year in, no regrets, great ride

I've got this on my specialized vado and I've found it as much needed improvement. 800 miles in and many wet winder riding days it's held up nicely.

Selle Royal Respiro seat

Upgraded my beach cruiser with grips, pedals and seat. The set up makes my daily 15 mile rides much more comfortable.
