Mountain Bike Spider Riders share their joy in discovering comfortable cycling! The Spiderflex Ergonomic Bicycle Saddle makes mountain bike riding a delight again.

On the MS bike tour there is a team called "So and So and the Sore Arses" and after winter cycling on the crappy seat that came with my winter bike, I feel I could join that particular team. Within minutes of riding, I could feel pressure not on my man bits but a piece of anatomy my daughter tells me is the coccyx.

Another view of a great seat
I vowed that before my commute this morning, I would install my trusty Spiderflex seat that has easily 10,000 miles of comfortable riding under its belt (so to speak).

Quality and Comfort… I am a Sergeant with the Chicago Police Department, and have been assigned to the bicycle patrol team for four years.
When I first took the team over I was using a standard mountain bike saddle. After several painful days of uncomfortable riding, I decided to try the Spiderflex Saddle, and boy I am glad I did!
The pain immediately ceased since there were not the same points of pressure as with the traditional seat. I will never go back to that regular saddle again. After four years, my seat looks just like the day I bought it, a quality product.
This is a great item, especially for someone who spends a large amount of time on their bike.

To all the Spiderflex Team,
We want to thank you! You made our journey a pleasure and all the people we met were amazed with our Spiderflex saddles! Many thanks!

While this is an unusual looking bike seat, it has been for me, after 10,000 kilometers, the most comfortable seat I've ever owned. It never fails to elicit comments from cyclists and passers-by. Especially for those of the male persuasion, the fact that this seat has no "horn" can make riding a bike a much more pleasant and comfortable endeavor. This seat is hefty. But perhaps that is why I've put so many miles on this baby and it is still going strong.
Like many cyclists, finding a comfortable seat is a challenge and like someone told me last year "You sit on anything for 8 hours and it's going to hurt!". Although sitting on the Spiderflex has been the most agreeable sitting arrangement I have ever found for biking. When your veins, tubes and nerves shouldn't be squished, then a hornless bike seat looks very appealing.
I'll admit that it took some time to break in the Spiderflex, and once I did, it works like a charm and keeps all the "Special parts" undisturbed.

Yesterday was my test 1st ride on your Spiderflex seat to see if it warranted the price and good reviews others have given it. It was 105 degrees here in NYC when I went for that ride. The only thing on my mind in that sweltering heat was OH MY, these 2 heavenly spheres beneath me are amazing. I went over some rough terrain and the spideflex shock absorber handled the rough sensation with a smooth up and down flow that was like nothing I had felt before from any seat. I am still tinkering with the right angle of the seat and fore and aft placement of the seat to find just the best angle and placement. I have to say your product is quite stellar. I had just returned 5 other bike seats I wanted to try and none came close to the 100% painless factor from the male region as a result of your design.
Only thing I can think of is why isn’t Trek, Specialized and practically every other bike manufacturer shipping bikes with your spiderflex seat. It’s a world of Hurt compared with any other bike seat for men especially. Thank You very much from the bottom of my… well Butt region. J

"After some prostate problems a 10 mile mountain ride was almost impossible, I thought my bike riding days were over. I tried the Spiderflex bike seat and happy to say I am back cycling up to 12 miles a day. It works great, no discomfort at all. Thanks Spiderflex, Mark in Reno"

I received my Spiderflex Seat in Dec 2009 in South Africa. Been on a couple of rides offroad so far and I am totally satisfied!!!! No more pain!! What a pleasure!! I had to adjust the seat a couple times to get a comfortable position, but now it’s fine. I also had to learn to balance a bit better, because without the nose piece there is a bit of a difference. Thanx Spiderflex team, for helping me with the order and questions I had.

I've been cycling for 40 some years and I've been waiting all this time for someone to finally get this bi-cycle seat design thing right. I've tried them all form splits to spongies and I have to say the Spiderflex has got it all going on! Thanks for getting it right Spiderflex.

You have got to be kidding me! I just opened the package that arrived, slapped the Spiderflex seat on the mountain bike I haven't ridden in 6 years because of the pain it was causing me, and jumped on. You have got to be kidding me! Haha! This is great! I can ride my bike again. I can't believe a product this good is relatively obscure. Well, gotta go... Years of riding to make up.

After researching the market and trying a number of different seat designs, I have finally found a bike seat that provides the comfort I have been looking for, Thanks Spiderflex.

After seemingly thousands of hours riding on a conventional horned seat, I was beginning to believe that it was time for a new hobby because I didn't want to deal with the pain and possible long- term repercussions of riding a horned seat for another day. The Spiderflex saddle changed all that crazy thinking and has restored my passion for what really keeps my life ticking. BRAVO Spiderflex!!
Don
It sure feels good to ride the bike again. I went thru prostate surgery several months ago and went numb almost immediately when I rode the bike. Your saddle took care of that problem. Thanks for a well built product.

This saddle is Fantastic!!!!! Now I can ride more than 6 hours without numbness. Also, it looks very cool on my bike.

Hi, spiderflex people,
Last December I bought the spiderflex seat. This year for the first time I really enjoyed my proflex mountain bike. Before I had numb feet after 20 minutes. I lost 25 kilos, holding a diet and cycling 4 times per week. This seat is very comfortable and by far exceeded my expectations.
Thank you!
Gabi
As an orthopedic surgeon, I appreciate the fact that the numbness is gone, as well as great relief on my back.

I received the seat on the 1st and must say it's amazing, I fitted it on the day I received it with the intention of going for a small half hour ride to test it out, eventually returned home after 2½ hours with no pains whatsoever and that's coming from someone who used to suffer cycling the 500 yards to the local shop and back. Thank you for the first class product, communications and delivery.

I've had the opportunity to ride about 20 miles on my new Spiderflex seat. I am very happy. I had thought that there might be a break-in period to adjust but it is not the case. I am riding comfortably. I know this because I have a lower back condition that bothers me if I am not. The only thing that is missing is the irritation from riding on a regular seat. I've got to tell you that I am really impressed with the design both visually and structurally. The artwork is a really nice touch. It takes your product to a different level. CONGRATULATIONS. I hope that you are doing well and have a great success. It is a great product. BEST REGARDS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
