Moving from stock to the Serta Ergo Gel saddle was like sitting on a pile of rocks to sitting in a cadillac. I was able to ride another three hours after being in pain from the ride yesturday. Great cruising seat if you're looking for one.

Cushy ride, love channel

Springs are too rigid, and I weigh in at 250. You'd figure they'd travel a little more for someone of my size, but you'd be wrong.

I need a comfy landing for my ponderous backside... this saddle does the trick. I do a considerable amount of street riding / commuting, and up to now it's been with the GT hybrid, but recently I purchased a new '02 Sugar 3+ Disc (oh yeah) and moved my Ergo Gel to that bike. BTW, I consider riding a FS bike on the road/street like riding a Caddilac, it's truly a sweet ride, and I've got it dialed in to be ultra plush. I will rarely use this bike for what it was made for - offroading - so I consider it to be the ultra luxury mode of commuting, and if you can afford it, why not? At any rate, I digress, as this is supposed to be about the saddle, not my personal riding sitch. It's comfy and works well for a rear that needs the padding. It'd be nice if the springs gave a bit more than they do, but it's a good deal nonetheless.
