Wittkop Bicycle Saddle [for Trekking Bikes] – Comfortable Saddle for Men and Women with Integrated 5-Zone-Concept and Memory Foam - Waterproof Bike seat with Airflow System, incl. User Manual

Bought to replace a stolen Brooks B17 and this is immediately more comfortable (because I don't have to wear it in). One of the rails snapped but that was after just over a year, so I figured it was out of warranty. This has happened (at one point or another) on pretty much every saddle I've tried barring the Brooks and I was able to weld the rail, so its still in use. And yeah that's likely down to how I'm mounting the saddle (almost as far back as it'll go), where I ride (rough tracks and paths) and my weight (85kg). That said, I would definitely buy again.

Den brettharten Originalsattel meines E-Bikes hatte ich sofort nach dem Kauf durch einen weicheren, jedoch ebenso schmalen (Fischer) MTB Sattel ersetzt. Trotzdem hatte ich auf langen Touren irgendwie immer Schmerzen - mal vorn, mal hinten - je nach Ausrichtung und trotz ständiger Verstellungen und Tests. So richtig zufriedenstellend war das nie. Durch Zufall stieß ich auf diesen (Trekking) Sattel von Wittkop, welcher nun etwas breiter und auch höher aufbaut, jedoch m.E. trotzdem noch sehr sportlich und passend für ein E-Bike aussieht. Die Lieferung erfolgte problemlos wie von Amazon gewohnt über Nacht. Der Sattel wird mit einer Klemmschelle und Bolzen vormontiert geliefert, was im ersten Moment erstaunt, da man meinen könnte, er kann bei den anderen Befestigungs - Systemen gar nicht montiert werden. Die Teile lassen sich aber alle problemlos demontieren und dann kann man das gute Stück wie gewohnt problemlos an der inzwischen sehr verbreiteten Originalklemmhalterung des Bikes montieren. Der Wittkop-Sattel hat im ersten Moment eine ungewöhnliche, leicht bananenförmig anmutende Form. Wenn er jedoch einmal montiert ist, fällt dies gar nicht auf und als ich nach der Montage das erste Mal damit gefahren bin, kam mir ein erstauntes „OHAAAA“ über die Lippen! Ein völlig neues Sitzgefühl, äußerst angenehm! Man sitzt deutlich „stabiler“ - und das bei angenehmer Weichheit, ohne dass es jedoch zu schwammig wirkt. Nach kurzer Nachjustierung mittels Wasserwaage und fürs persönlich beste Empfinden habe ich nun eine super Sitzposition gefunden. Auf ca. 20 km Teststrecke hatte ich keinerlei Schmerzen mehr und die ganze Zeit diese gemütliche Sitzposition genossen. Der Wittkop Trekking - Sattel ist in meinen Augen ein gut verarbeiteter Kompromiss für all jene, die auf Komfort nicht nicht verzichten wollen und einen Sattel suchen, der trotz mehr Komforts noch sportlich ausschaut. Zur hier bereits angesprochenen „Wasserundichtigkeit“ kann ich allerdings nichts sagen, dies werden weitere Tests zeigen. Bisher meine volle Empfehlung! Interessantes Detail am Rande: Als ich nach dem (in China vermuteten) Hersteller schaute, stellte ich fest, dass der Firmensitz in Zella-Mehlis ist , 15 km Luftlinie von hier:-))

Just been out for a quick 20 mile mostly easy ride. Saddle proved itself and I could easily ride a lot longer and of rough terrain without issue. Recommended

haftada 3 kere her bir sefer 2-3 saat MTB sürüyorum. sele hep benim için sorun olmuştur. birçok jel sele denedim. 9000 kişinin yorum yazmasından yola çıkarak bu seleyi sipariş ettim. almanyadan 5 günde elime ulaştı. ilk sefer tam denemek için pedli taytımı girmeden normal şortla 2 saat sürdüm. selenin yapısı açıları vücuduma uydu. konforlu bir sürüş yaşadım. fiyatı gayet makul olduğu için sele sorunu çeken arkadaşlara denemelerini öneririm. ama unutmamak lazım herkesin vücut yapısı farklı. bana uyan bir sele diğerine uymayabilir.

I started cycling last year and didn't believe they hype train for the direction many people take the hobby. I avoided shoes that snapped into the pedals, I didn't buy the fastest possible bike, and my seat wasn't going to be a 3in piece of hard plastic that had a non-zero chance of being inserted into an uncomfortable position. I've learned that my bike frame does make a difference, the pedals don't to any significant degree, and my seat has viable comfortable options available. Last year I challenged myself to ride a century ride (100mi) every month. In July I rode back to back 125mi rides over two days (total of 250mi) on this seat. For a man with a slightly wider hip set (I'm 5'11 200lbs) the touring seat is a dream. It's formed so if you're seated right your butt bones will connect in the right spot, but it also provides additional cushion. I've put about 3000mi on the seat so far, and while it looks used now, there are not splits and signs of significant wear. Many people warned me that cushioned seats will hurt you over time, but anecdotally I have proven that incorrect. If I rode 250mi over two days and this seat didn't cause sore/welts etc, then I'm inclined to believe it will work for just about any amateur or hobby rider. You're still going to need to get used to it. Cycling will always hurt your butt after hours of saddle time, by the end of the season last year though, my butt felt just fine after each new century. Buy this one. It's the best bet for a sore butt. Also, don't forget to use an anti chafe/perspiration cream or bar. The seat makes you comfortable, it doesn't do magic. Quick Update: I bought a carbon fiber road bike from Canyon and wanted to try the road variant of this seat on it. While the seat is cushy and the same quality, my hips just don't want to connect with the smaller seat as well. I've doubled down and bought a second "Touring" edition so I don't have to move my original touring wikkitop seat back and forth from my hybrid and road bikes. Anyone that is a smaller frame or narrower hips, the road variant may be your go to, but for me I'm just going to continue using the touring seat. UPDATE: I've completed about a dozen century rides and one ride of 170 mi. I've also bought a second of these seats for my commuter bike. For my butt this seat does the trick. With bicycle shorts I get no saddle sores and very little sore butt. Keep in mind that any seat is going to hurt when you first start, you have to condition your body for bicycling Update 2: I've now ridden STP (Seattle to Portland) and can say this seat held up to a 200+ mile ride. I have noticed some breakdown in the cushion of my original seat. This is after about 5-7 thousand miles. I think that's reasonable durability. Eventually I'll replace that seat, but I'm still using it now. This seat remains 5stars all day.
