ISM Berkley Comfortabel fietszitje voor dames en heren, neusloos fietszitje voor hometrainers, strandcruisers en hybride fietsen, ontworpen om gevoelloosheid te verminderen, breed en dik gevoerd

Bij Amazon BE stond dit artikel ruim €22,50 goedkoper geprijsd. Je kan daar echter niet bestellen en naar Nederland laten verzenden. Andersom kan dit wel een Belg kan bij Amazon NL bestellen. Vreemd prijsbeleid, zou me niet verbazen dat er uit een en hetzelfde magazijn uitgeleverd wordt. Product zelf bevalt verder prima.

Update: I own both the Berkeley and Metro. I also have the narrow typhoon.I prefer the metro the most for balance with riding and comfort. Berkeley may be better for a longer, slower ride.I been using ism saddle since 2015. My road had narrower one. I noted after a 30miles ride the seat was kind of painful, but at least i don't get numbness (a male thing). So when I got a hybrid electric city mountain bike I got placed the narrower ism. It seem to work better on road bike then the up right mtn bike. So I got a fat more surface area cruiser/ comfort saddle from ISM. ISM has 3-4 style. The original "touring" (not sure if they make those anymore or if it is just old inventory). Berkeley is wider at 250mm by 220mm length with 60 foam. Urbaine is a tad narrower at 205mm but longer at 235mm. It has 40 foam. Metro is like Berkeley but a tad narrower at 210mm wide, other spec are close.It does feel weird sitting on a comfort when i been biking on a narrower ism saddle all these time. Regardless I prefer ISM over typical bike saddle because I don't want ED or male numbness potential. IT has no spring liek some regular bike cruiser saddle.

So, I was looking for a bike seat that would avoid pressure on that soft tissue area that can irritate the prostate. On my previous seat, I would notice BPH-like issues after riding for 3-4 days. A visit to a urologist (always fun....) didn't find an enlarge prostate, but he did say that riding a bike using a traditional saddle can irritate the prostate and lead to similar symptoms for some people, and that I probably fall into this category. This seat has been just what I needed. It is firmer than other "comfort" seats, and right away I noticed that the pressure was squarely ON my sit bones, while the soft tissue between the legs was not in contact with the seat at all. The firmer feel is important here, as overly soft seats tend to "squish up" and make contact with the soft tissue even if they DO have that cutout in the middle. Obviously, the other major change is the lack of a traditional horn on this seat. I was worried it might cut down on power, or lead to less control. I was very pleasantly surprised to find just the opposite - I have FAR more power now, mostly because I can lean forward into the pedal stroke WITHOUT putting undue pressure between the legs as I would have with my former seat. And control is just as good - maybe if you're a serious racer, a saddle with a horn might be needed for that extra control, but for someone using the bike for commuting it is great! And for what it's worth, I'm not a slow rider when I commute, so despite the fact that I'm riding a hybrid road bike, performance is important to me - and the ISM, as I said, has increased, not decreased, my performance.

After a recent e-bike purchase it became obvious that the stock saddle was going to be a problem for a 57 y.o. male. Long rides were followed by numbness and later pain down under. This saddle has made longer rides easy and pain free. Others reviews suggested taking the time to make adjustments, excellent advice that I’m glad I followed. Adjustments to handlebar height and position, as well as saddle height made all the difference. This definitely is NOT a cushy saddle but it sure solved my problem just as advertised.

I had one on my Townie, loved it. Then I got an e-bike so had to buy another seat. It’s the only seat I’ve found that is comfy on the crotch

I tried it, and it wasn't terrible. I considered buying a suspension seatpost to really give it a fair shake, but went back to my recumbent instead. Keep in mind, padding that is too soft will mush into your nethers and create more pressure on those sensitive areas, so I think they probably got the padding firmness pretty close to what it needs to be. I am a skinny old guy (I've been riding bikes for more than 50 years!), so I don't carry around much of my own padding. The shape of the seat, with the Manta-ray-head-like cephalic lobes was just too wide. If the lobes had been a little longer or thinner, it may have been fine. As they are, they dug into the backs of my inner thighs a bit. I think the construction quality was very good, and recommend you try it, especially if you have Prime. Comfort of bike saddles is VERY subjective, and you'll likely have to try a few before you find the right unit for you.
