"Just had to write and let you know how good a saddle the new RLt is" "Just had to write and let you know how good a saddle the new RLt is. Took it from the box, attached it to one of my fleet of bikes!! (I wish) and promptly rode a sportive with absolutely no 'n.n.syndrome' at all. It really is that good. And 'yes', without doubt your pedalling power does improve because I personally find being able to sit comfortably means less constant movement to attain that position so you keep pedalling and not fidgeting about. Thanks again for a great product!" K.O, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, UK "I simply could not believe the amazing lack of any pressure on my perineum after the ride..... ... every bike-shop should sell your saddles!" "I love it! I do mainly road cycling but am still not acclimatized to winters in Canada so for the next 4-5 months I will be biking on my trainer. "So far the longest ride that I have done on the new saddle has been about 90 min and I simply could not believe the amazing lack of any pressure on my perineum after the ride. I just get off the bike and forget that I have been sitting on what should have been a very uncomfortable bike saddle. So, yes, so far it looks like it may be the best seat that I have ever had (even better than the previous large version of the Rido), though the true measure will be next spring when I start doing 4-5 hour rides again. ( I have some pictures that "I am attaching to this email). Keep up the good work. I wish you accomplish great success with your new product – I know that every bike-shop should sell your saddles!" N.D, Toronto, Ontario, Canada   "All good news" "Great! It's an excellent product. It a took bit of minor adjustment to get the sweet spot but seems to position your butt well! Been on the turbo trainer a few times this week and its all good news. I have been looking for a good saddle since I got the Boardman last year.Its quality. I would never ever consider buying any other seat again! P.H, Harrogate, North Yorkshire, UK "Awesome!" "Fantastic saddle only wish I could affor 3 more!!!" Recommend to a friend: 'Yes' Pros: 'So very comfortable' Cons: 'none thus far'

I have been using it for a week now and I have not once felt uncomfortable on it. I find the saddle holds me in position. I do not move around like I would on other saddles. Initially I commuted just 5 miles each way to work and back. It felt good from the outset and has continued to feel really comfortable. On my longer training ride last week I found that my sit bones were getting a little tender towards the end of two and a half hour ride. I expected to feel it the next morning on my commute, however there was no bruising that I have had with almost all other saddles. As for the power improvement I could definitely feel that my hips are in a positive position to deliver efficient power to the pedals." L.H, Exeter, Devon, UK "Comfortable on the bike for the first time" "Both the original (R2) saddle on my turbo and the lighter (RLt) road cycling saddle are excdellent and I am comfortable on the bike for the first time - thanks." Dr J.D, Auchterarder, Perthshire, UK "Amazingly comfortable, especially on the longer rides" "Hi John, found the saddle RLt amazingly comfortable especially on the longer rides where the ergonmic design really provides all the support I need without compromising on quality and weight. A very good saddle at the right price in a competative market. Cheers" K.Y, Swindon, Wiltshire "Overall it has relieved the pressure and I am not sore after riding" "I am enjoying my new Rido RLt saddle. I am not enjoying the full benefits yet as I am still tinkering. The progression I have gone through is this. I had a Fizik Antares saddle and wanted a little pressure off the sensitive parts. I basically do some climbing and mainly group rides and flat training rides. I tried a Selle Amp saddle and found that it did relieve pressure but concentrated two points on my butt and didn't think it would serve will for century rides. I then tried a Cobb saddle which I really liked however I had already the Rido so I am trying to get the same comfort from it. I had Cobb himself analyze my riding position and he made a few suggestions. I then went to the Rido and had to redo some of those suggestions. I am still tinkering for the best position and will let you know when I get there. Overall it has relieved the pressure and I am not sore after riding. Look forward to make the saddle more mine with some more adjustments. It seems I am a tad higher than I want to be, but that gave me relief from some frontal knee pain. I seem to not have the right adjustment on the level part as well but trying to get the height part right first. I have recommended the saddle to friends though." S.B, Los Ageles, California, USA "Certainly more comfortable than my original sports saddle" "Very pleased with my new Rido (RLt) saddle. Now done about 300 miles on it and it's certainly more comfortable than my original sport saddle." S.D, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, UK "Superb almost from the start" "To let you know that I found the RLt superb almost from the start. I say almost as it took a bit of getting used to due to having a completely different feel and being quite solid. However, within a couple of weeks or so I found it resilient and a problem of pain down one leg which I had been getting for the last 2 yrs had virtually gone and have continued to be free from since. Totally happy with the product and have no hesitation in recommending to anyone who finds conventional road bike saddles numbingly uncomfortable or who suffer nerve origin pain whilst cycling." J.B, Larbert, Stirlingshire, UK "A different beast but no crotch numbness" "I’ve got one of each type of saddle. I got the R2 first for my Trek 7700 hybrid bike. I was having a lot of prostrate trouble and had tried several different makes, including two Brooks saddles. The R2 was (is) excellent on this bike, and it’s all I use. Prostate problems have gone away. On the strength of my R2 experience , I bought an RLt for my LOOK carbon road bike. The RLt is a different beast. At first sight , it looks extremely similar to a lot of the other road saddles in my local bike shop. The ride is nothing like that of the R2. The saddle is much narrower and there is definitely a fair bit of contact with the perineal area – it does not lift you up like the R2. I have a relaxed, fairly upright riding position, but if I used tri bars or a more conventional crouched/aggressive riding position, or went down on the drops more, I would be putting a fair bit of weight on my perineum for sure. That said, I haven’t used the RLt a great deal but when I have used it there has been no crotch numbness and my sit bones are definitely tender – that is what’s taking the weight, which is good. I need to road test it more. Will get more road time on the RLt, but may end up replacing it with the cheaper, heavier and uglier R2." C.J, Landre, Ceredigion, Wales, UK "Good on a long ride" |
