## Description

The Original Easyseat has adjustable (width) pads that move independently while pedaling for superior comfort. Since 1982 – over 800 thousand sold and counting. Although this is our oldest model, the medical benefits it provides you, the rider, is just the same as any one of our higher end products. Simply put, this seat will eliminate all pressure and cycling related pains by placing the riders weight only on his/her sit bones. This is a true unisex bike seat. NOTE: The best position for the seat is sitting upright with handle bars positioned High. Some Bikes may require a 7/8″ diameter seat clamp for installation (available off our website). This seat has been stress tested up to 450 lbs.

Review: Best Saddle Ever. Very comfortable. - I keep putting off writing this review because I have so many good things to say about it that it would take forever, so I'm just going to be brief and write some bullet points: Pluses: ========================== * I have tried a ton of ergonomic seats and this is the best. I use it every day and it is very comfy. The best seat I've ever used. * The two pads rotate as you pedal, so they are constantly supporting you without jabbing you in the leg. You can sit back on them or sit more forward in a racing position. They cradle your sit bones, just as they advertise. * The material is rubbery and grippy without being able to absorb water. No more wet butt after leaving the bike in the rain. * I have tried this seat in a number of configurations: high, low, angled up angled forward. All of them were comfortable. Because these things rotate, wherever you put the seat it will sort of conform to the way you are using it and be nice. I'm not saying you can't find a bad way to set it up, but they are very flexible and should accommodate a lot of different postures and bike styles. Minuses: =========================== * This seat is surprisingly heavy. It weighs significantly more than the Schwinn no-pressure, another seat I used and thought was really heavy. The rubber is quite thick and weighty. It doesn't stop me riding or anything, but it's not performance weight. * It is true that the little hand screws that maintain the distance between the two pads are pretty shoddy. They don't seem to hold it at a certain width as well as I would like. You can sort of make them work, but I could imagine ways to make it work better than what was implemented. Other: =============================== * Like all noseless saddles, this is likely to put extra weight on your arms if you use a normal shaped bike, and you have to keep both hands on the handlebar. I haven't tried any alternatives that were better in this respect, so it's par of the course. Anyone complaining about this probably doesn't have experience with alternative noseless saddles. * I tend to use this a little angled forward, so it is out behind me. In this configuration, I keep wishing my bike was a bit larger. If your bike is on the small side for your frame, you may not like this seat as much as people who have larger frames do. Just my guess. * After standing up to go up a hill or whatever, it takes a little time to get your butt situated in the right place on them again. Not a huge deal, but very true. TL;DR version: ================================= This is the best ergonomic seat ever. It is flexible enough that I think it would please many different body, bike, and riding styles. Stop letting bumps get transmitted directly to your perineum and get this.
Review: The WTF?? seat. - The theory behind this seat is sound: no horn pressing on your delicate parts, so no undesired numbing or pressure on those areas. The pleasant absence of this is noticeable immediately upon mounting this seat. However, the design of the seat is so bizarre that I kept asking myself, "WTF?". The major problem is that the seat is too long. Whereas a regular seat has a middle part that sticks out forward, this seat has side parts that stick out forward. The wide part of the Hobson seat sticks out far longer than the wide portion of any regular seat, so now you have a completely different problem created. The result is that the front of the seat digs into the back of the thighs (when the seat is raised to achieve correct bicycling geometry, so as to get a full down stroke when pedaling, ie, the leg is almost straight). The only way for me to avoid the seat-in-thigh problem was to angle the seat down so steeply that I was no longer sitting on the seat, but rather *leaning* on the seat. This created the problem of no longer having something to be able to sit on. A person at Hobson suggested that I try sitting on the front, rather than the back of the seat. This created an improper geometry for riding and felt as if one were at a bar while sitting at the very edge of a bar stool. It felt wrong. An additional problem is the wobbling that is designed into the seat. Every time I braked, the seat tilted downward and I would slip off the seat. And when you pedal, you feel as if you're wobbling atop your bike. WTF! Your seat is your foundation. You don't want it to be rocking around beneath you unpredictably! Trying to ride with this seat felt like being in a comedy of the absurd. I was told by Hobson that the tilting is supposed to alleviate the problem of poking into the thigh. It doesn't fix the problem, and it just creates another one. I'm quite a tinkerer with things, but try as I might, I couldn't find a way to make this seat comfortable. Not with proper bicycling geometry, anyway. I'm puzzled by the positive reviews of this seat and why their writers didn't experience the same problem I did. I can only surmise that they have improper seat geometry positioning, with the seat set too low, so that their thighs don't angle down very far when they pedal. This is very common, I see this all the time when bicyclists pass by. I guess they don't know better. That's a possible solution to the problem, but it makes for very inefficient riding. I ride in the bent over "racer" position. If you ride in an upright position, your mileage, and geometry, may vary. The sad thing is that the problems with this seat would be very easy to fix and an improved version would actually be cheaper to manufacture. The first problem would be fixed by simply making the seat shorter. It would also save Hobson materials cost in manufacture. If you research competing products, you will see that they have seen the wisdom of doing this. Hobson even does this with their newer version. The second problem can be fixed simply by taking the wobble "feature" out completely. As they say in the software industry, it's not a feature, it's a bug! Fixing the flaws in the seat would make it simpler, cheaper, & better. Why Hobson sits on its behind and doesn't fix the design flaws in this product is a puzzle to me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly comfortable
*by C***T on March 27, 2019*

I use this one on my exercise bike at home which, because I value my joints, is my main source of cardio these days. I had tried wider seats, but I was still having...issues...because of the banana section in the middle and ... how to put this ... where my weight came to rest on it. (I think we all know exactly why we've come to this listing; I personally found this item after typing "t*st*cle friendly bike seats" into a search on this site.) This truly was the difference. I've used it regularly for more than a year since I got it, three times or more a week for 30-50 minutes at a time. No pressure on...areas of concern. No numbness after long sets. It does feel quite different than what you're used to at first, but it took all of five minutes to acclimate to it and I don't notice it anymore. It really is a superior design to the banana seats. The seat is a bit hard, and chafes a bit from extended use, but nothing terrible. If I had it to do over, I may have bought the one with gel in it for even more comfort. Overall, I would recommend.
