"They work"

Rido's revamped saddle keeps its stealth-bomber shape, which is convex where your sit bones are. Like dearer, anatomic saddles with cutaways, it removes the pressure on your perineum. The R2 is padded, which better suits the more upright posture of recreational road cycling or touring. For racing, I prefer the original unpadded Rido. Both look odd, but who cares? They work.
