Is there anybody 250lbs + that has used this saddle? How is the comfort? Any issues? Recommend anything else?

Is 242 lbs good enough for you. I had been riding on this saddle for two months. In regards to confort it actually surprise me. I had the idea that because the size of my rear I needed to be on wide sized saddles but I found this model very comfortable.

I weigh 200 lbs, it supports me just great no sign of sage/weakness. The comfort of the seat is about a 6 on a scale of 10, where 10 would be the best. It's going to be hard to find a saddle for a man to set on without putting your package to sleep where you contact the seat... It is better than any seat I have bought so far and that is 4 seats. There is only one more that may work great, that one is square like, without the tongue going up between your legs, your butt cheeks are the only thing that sets on that seat. Good luck.

I didnt have any issues at all and I have to say this seat is amazingly comfortable as oppose to the original seat instaled on my bike. I have been using my bike a lot and I just cant believe how comfortable this seat is.

Hi Heather - it is really comfortable, and doesn't dig in. I have a bit of a butt and the seat is wide at the back and narrow at the front - so its perfect. And its cushy as well! Sometimes I find myself slipping forward though that could just be my riding style!

I'm 6', 200lbs. Weight and height shouldn't be an issue . Just buy an comfortable seat because he one it comes with is too hard

I actually ordered a more squishy one based on another reviewer's advice, but returned it as the original seat was comfortable to me. My daughter and friend also had no complaints. I weigh less than 150lbs, so don't know if that is a factor.

I am also heavy with moderate knee problems. Although I do not have back issues,I was able to sit and get up with little problem. The seat seamed high enough for me. The rated maximum weight is 225 lbs, I am around 250 and it held up just fine. It was a great help when I visited my grandchildren in camp and needed a place to rest after much walking on rough terrain .

My daughter and I both have this seat. Neither one of us have had any tailbone discomfort when riding. This is a great seat! I would buy it again.

i did purchase a gel cover the one recommeded for this seat. It is a little more comforting for the longer rides. Just remember it is not a couch. It is a work out peice that unless you buy a saddle will not totally be comfortable.

I weigh 250 and it supports me fine. The seat opening is small though, so even if it holds the weight of someone like me, it's almost not useable due to the small seat size. My 200 lb buddies feel like it's too small too.

I have had this seat for only a few months , it is well built and if taken care of , and not over stressed it should hold up , I weight around 212 myself.you can adjust the back to different angle on leaning back .Dale

The seat is height adjustable, so I don't think your height will be an issue. I believe it is rated for up to 300lbs. Initially, the seat my be uncomfortable but, DON'T go out and get a new/padded one. It may take a few months of consistent riding, but it WILL break in and be very comfortable.

I'm 6'2" & 250 lbs and I successfully bent this saddle out of shape. I'm not sure when or how, but the metal frame support you can see visible underneath got distorted. It wasn't all that comfortable to begin with and now it is absolutely unusable. I don't feel right giving it an actual star rating, because it doesn't claim to be designed to carry someone of my size. However, if your over 225lbs I'd recommend avoiding it.

It may be comfortable depending on the person but I had many problems trying to find a comfy bike seat for a regular bike due to the need for hip replacement surgery. I had a lot of pain due to hip problems, not the seat. Trying to find a comfy seat, someone suggested a recumbent trike, where you are seated like normal, sitting down with your butt fully supported, as in a chair. After surgery I tried riding my regular bike but still found it uncomfortable, so I am sticking with my trike. I also have found that riding my horse in a saddle, even though I am upright as on a bike, does not hurt either due to full support of my butt and thighs in the saddle. I tried the Serfas Super Cruiser before surgery but since I was hurting anyway, I sent it back. Here is what I found about most bike seats. They try to pad the seat for comfort but end up working against the shape of the butt which rounds outward. To see what I am trying to say...imaging pushing two fully inflated balloons together. Bike seat makers add padding but the padding juts outward, opposite on the shape of a butt. So instead of feeling comfy, a butt is pushing against the opposite shape that it really is. If they could design a bike seat more to the shape of a horse saddle or even a tractor seat, I think more people with physical size challenges would ride bikes....but if not, try a trike.

I've had mine a few days now. I'm 6'1" and 300 lbs... this chair is holding me up with zero problems. I was very worried when I was putting it together, but it's wonderful. I shift now and again, as a lot of my weight is displaced to my shins, but I find it's perfectly fine if I shift to where my knees take the weight- and even simply bring my feet out to the sides- and though it has casters, it doesn't just roll out from under me or anything. Getting used to it isn't nearly as awkward as expected. Love love love it.

I'm 5'7" was 190 when purchased. The saddle adjusts so you should have no problem with it !! I found the saddle a little uncomfortable so I purchase a softer saddle it's better now!!

it's just like a regular quality bicycle. the pedal threads are 9/16", right and left, and the saddle support rails are standard. use the existing saddle clamp and your preferred saddle. btw, if your butt hurts because you think this saddle is not soft enough you are unfortunately barking up the wrong tree. in a few weeks of use you will stop hurting. toughen up! padding makes you work harder in the wrong places. make sure you have the saddle position correct. most folks set too low. this puts a big strain on the knees.rick in vermont.
