Doesn't hurt to try!!!
Worked great even on the very first ride. I was concerned when I first got this as it seemed a little smaller than the seat I'm replacing. It turned out to be very comfortable but I did have to raise the back end ( nose down a little bit ) so my crotch area was not pressed against the front part of the seat. My Bontrager Nebula that came with my Trek MTB would start hurting my sit bones around the 10 - 15mi mark but this one allowed me to do almost 30mi with much less suffering. At less than half the price of the original seat, it's a great value! :)

I do not recommend this seat.
I bought this Pioneeryao bike seat three month ago. It has been ridden slightly over 300 miles, all of that was in my local neighborhood and on the Pinellas Trail (Florida)--not hard riding.It is a comfortable seat.It has already cracked--see the photo.Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this short-lived product.

Really comfortable...
Really comfortable seat! I was switching between two other seats with nearly twice the padding and my ass was hurting after only a few miles. Bought this based off of other reviews and i'm glad I did, I've done multiple 10 mile rides and just today did 20 miles and NOT sore at all! I'd recommend giving this a try before spending the $ on an overpriced seat.

Nice seat for a nice price
I bought this to replace the stock saddle on a new Giant mountain bike last year. The stock saddle was the most uncomfortable bike seat I've ever used. This one is so much more comfortable. After 11 months of riding, I've logged a little over 700 miles on this. Almost all of that is trail and forest service road riding. It has just started to show some wear (See picture). A small split in the covering and some minor surface cracking is developing but I'm still fully satisfied with the use I've gotten from it. I'll probably look to replace it with another one of these eventually, but I expect to get another 6 months of riding out of this one. For the price you really can't go wrong with this seat.

Amateur triathlete recommended
Male: 5’10” 182lb, Sponeed cycle shortsUse: Road bike, typically 20-60miles, triathlon/Ironman 70.3I love this seat. Was never able to find a road bike seat that fit well enough to be comfortable on long rides. This one changed the game for me.Never had an issue with the bulkiness compared with a typical road bike seat. Although, I could see it being a problem depending on your cycling short pad thickness and thigh gap so I have included my info for reference. (I’m more muscular than the average triathlete, not shredded tho)Comfortable in aero as well. I did have to tilt my seat down *very* slightly.

Great for short to middling rides.
I've been using this for my daily commutes and shopping trips and visiting friends for a few months now - and it has worked great for those rides. If you are not doing all-day rides and want a mid-cushion saddle, this is the seat for you.However this past week I did an 86 mile mixed-terrain ride where I was in the saddle for almost 8 hours. And despite my padded bike shorts and use of chamois cream, I had notable chafing after that ride. To some degree this is to be expected, but I have done longer rides with less chafing this year using two other saddles (one of which was stock for the bike, the other was an equivalently priced seat from Amazon). So if you are doing multi-hour rides this may not be your best bargain option.

Nice seat but still sore
The saddle was an upgrade from my previous one that came with the bike. However, after about 10-12 miles my tale began to get pretty uncomfortable, and I was wearing bike shorts as well. It is not too uncommon for my ride to be 15+ miles so I might have to upgrade again. Too, I am a bigger guy. If 10 miles or under and you are under 200lbs this might do the trick without much discomfort at all.UPDATE: I finally chose to change to another seat. Overall it was just too uncomfortable for a ride of +10 miles. And only semi comfortable after 5 miles. Hopefully the new one will do the trick.

Didn’t work for me, may for you. Wider front “nose” than some others. Still worth a shot IMO.
I am the farthest thing from a pro rider, so please keep that in mind. Also, I’m a fairly large guy, 6’ 250lbs. It may be better for others. Obviously the reviews are fairly good.I’ve adjusted this saddle many times, to try and get it “just right”, but I can’t seem to get it. I actually have to sit incorrectly to stop pain, but it is still better than my original saddle.Main problem, the “nose” of this saddle is a little wider, and thicker than my original. So I is a little more comfortable on my “rear”, but seems to apply more pressure to my “front components”, even with padded shorts.For the price, I would definitely say to try it. I may try to stick it out a little longer.

Good, cheap gel saddle
Comfortable gel saddle with central cutout, bought on a lightening deal for less than £20 but quality and performance match considerably more expensive saddles. Bought just before a 350 mile trip with some longish days (80+ moles a day) and it performed well. Weight is also reasonable - good for touring.

Smooth cycling
Really comfortable, second one I have bought for new bike. Brilliant for long distance cycles. Takes the bumps out the poor roads.

Life-saver - Exceeded Expectations!
I haven't ridden a bike for around 20 years and weigh 18.5 stone, so I thought I was going to suffer after taking the boys for a 4m mountain bike ride over rough terrain. In preparation, I bought this saddle in the hope that it would ease the after effects, and I was genuinely surprised at how good it was for the money. I completed the ride (in comfort) re-discovered my enthusiasm for biking and am looking forward to next weekend! :)

Very Comfortable
Was a bit doubtful about how good this was going to be given the price but absolutely delighted with it. Looks good seems well made and most important of all it's comfortable. Bargain in my view

Comfy! But short lived...
The saddle supplied with my bike was labelled "Comfort Saddle". Sadly that was far from the truth. Tried covering with gel saddle covers.. nope! No better. Bought this one as a last hope.. Yes! success.. lovely comfy rides now, would recommend. Possibly down to the shape and padding of ones posterior? I don't know.. but it works for me.. happy chappie.Update..29 01 20 Noticed today that the saddle has developed a split at the seams, and the synthetic material is cracking. Although this has been the comfiest saddle, sadly, its life is coming to an end.....
