The bike is quiet but the seat is not made for more than 15-20 mins sitting on it. Any recommendation on a third party seat that's more comfortable?

Like any bike, you'll get used to the seat, I've had no problems riding mine for 30-60 minutes at a time and I weight over 300.. If that's not a solution for you, look up some gel seats.

I've found the seat to be very comfortable so haven't needed an upgrade. I normally workout for 45 - 60 minutes.

I tried a seat like the one on my mountain bike and that was worse, so i am using the seat provided, but adjusted as far back as it will go and that is better, but I'm still looking for a seat that is in between a tractor seat and a regular bike seat. Hope this helps, I am riding 30 min with little discomfort, good luck. happy riding

It is comfortable for short distances. I ended up replacing it with this one: Retrospec Bicycles Saddle Fixed Gear Single Speed Fixie Urban Road Bike (Black, One Size)

No, not really.. I still like the bike but honestly it isn't comfortable.. Though I really don't think you will find one that is really comfortable.

Hello I have been using it for awhile and it is not very comfortable for long rides. It is better to but the one that doesn't have that depression in the center. I would recommend the Bel that is made with gel and covers the entire seat

No but you should be able to replace the seat with a different one go to a bike store with the seat they can help you

Gel seats are not the answer. I wasted $30 on one. They mess with the height and make you sit taller. In my case I cannot find a comfortable height when using a gel seat, plus it never stays fully secure and moves around. To me the solution was one of the new noseless cycle seats. I have a Schwinn No Pressure Bicycle Seat It is still uncomfortable because of lack of cushioning but it eliminates testicle pain for sure, however this machine also causes knee pain, so you eliminate one but still have the other. I am going to try a Spiderflex seat next and see if it is more comfortable.

Try the seatstay or chainstay. Only parts I could find that didn't interfere with pedaling.

Yes it comfortable the only problem I have with the bike is that it squeaks. Also,i have to steer the handle in the opposite direction for it to move or turn. It's very annoying.

Yes it is, and it is ok. We probably will try to replace it with a thicker cushion eventually. We do love this bike though, it's so quiet and my husband and I both are glad we purchased it.

The seat on my bike is very steady and does not wabble. I have very comfortable seating and this bike is the best I have ever used. I am on it over 100 miles a week and it is great

You can make a few minor adjustments to the seat. It is a very wide and comfy seat. My husband road the bike when we first got IT and he was impressed with the size and comfort of it.

I'm not sure. But you would want to buy a Seat that has more padding for long rides.

The seat has a little bit of padding. I would say that it is definitely comfortable enough to sit on for 10-30 minutes. Sorry it took me so long to reply!!! 'Tis the season!

I never thought about a wider seat. I had a dense foam cover and it fit perfectly. Years ago the Spin Bikes had really narrow and hard seats and I noticed several people would buy their own cover and bring it to class in their gym bag. Today the seats on the bikes are comfortable. Big bucks really gets much more than what I got from Amazon. I use my bike while viewing sports or a movie and like a standing position more than seating.

I sent mine back because the air flows from compartment to compartment if you shift your weight. I bought a cheap life cushion, took the layers of foam out of it and custom cut pieces and glued them up to make a seat that fit me onto my bike seat and then took that to an upholsterer who examined what I was doing and sewed me a cover for it with straps that fasten it to the under frame of the seat. Total cost $45. Happy.

If you contact Paradigm they offer another seat for this bike that is smaller - not sure if better This one is large and comfortable if you plan on biking for any length of time.

As seats of this type, I think it is comfortable. It is a little nicer than your basic seat. This is a nice bike.
