This saddle takes a little getting used to, as it supports your sit bones to the left and right. That's where you'll feel the pressure, as opposed to right on your...well, gooch. So if this is your first time riding with one you will feel soreness for a couple days as your body adjusts, but once you're used to it, it feels like you're supported on the seat. I feel like I can get more power out of the bike, like I'm more grounded in the seat. You don't have to be a serious athlete to own one of these. You also don't have to be in the drops to get the most out of it. I know that the company advertised the advantages of feeling more comfortable in an aero position, but it feels just fine upright as well. I am mostly a commuter, and I ride for exercise for a couple hours after work. I love this saddle, and I think you will too.

Sent it back.

Came dirty, or used. So I sent it right back within 10 minutes of looking it over. I paid for a "new one". There was no receipt paper inside the box. The bag was not sealed.

Like the idea, just couldn't get accustomed to the sit bone pressure

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2016

This is a great brand and idea for a new style line of saddles. I am young and don't have any current issues that I needed to buy this for, just thought it would be a smart move after reading some insightful publications on the subject. ISM makes a great variety of saddle shapes and types, but I think this one is just not suited for me. I am thin and don't have much meat down on my glutes so all the pressure on my sit bones with this seat is just really a painful experience after my road bike commute each day (I have now been using this daily for over 3 weeks). I thought it would get better as I grow accustomed to it, but it really hasn't.

That being said, I did email ISM about this and they were very willing to help me with my comfort issue-- like I said, I believe this is a great company. However, I don't really have the means to provide a video of me riding with it, as they asked, and I'm sure it's not a positioning issue, I've moved it around a lot with no difference in feeling.

I didn't want to knock down my star rating much, but I think I'm going to take this seat off my road bike. Too bad I spent the money, but maybe I can sell to someone more suited for it. I plan to try out their other models at a shop sometime if I can find them.

Best seat I've ridden. Try to tilt it forward on your post if possible. No more pain in the undercarriage!

Great training saddle - good for long rides or training ...

Great training saddle - good for long rides or training in tri position. Prefer breakaway model as it is bit lighter and better fit overall for road bike but this is great saddle.

Awesome seat! I was really hurting with tri suit and these make a huge difference. Very comfortable and easy to slide around if you are someone who likes to do that.

Softer, heavier (and cheaper) version of the Adamo Attack

Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2015

I have the ISM Adamo Attack on my racing bike and I'm very happy with it. This PN1.1 saddle is the same size/shape, but it has softer padding and is a bit heavier. I use it on my backup bike which primarily sees trainer duty indoors. The extra padding is nice for trainer riding, and the extra weight is not a concern. I still prefer the Attack for my main bike, but if that stretches the budget too far or you feel you need the extra padding the PN 1.1 is worth consideration.
