I admit it, I was a disbeliever. “No way” I thought. My husband had been encouraging me to ride our bikes with him, but I was always so uncomfortable after five or six miles couldn’t do it. I read about the Carbon Comfort bike saddle and we passing thru Boise on our way to a family reunion on the coast. So we stopped at the RideOut office and bought a seat, even installed it right there onto the bike. Again as a disbeliever I thought the seat looked too small, until I took some test runs. It was really comfortable. The next day we on the coast, we rode up Hwy 101 to the neighboring town for lunch and I was shocked. The seat “disappeared” under me. Not only did I keep up with my husband, I beat him home! Now I actually enjoy riding. Before my bike seat was making me so miserable I couldn’t think of anything else, now I’m having fun. Thank you for a truly comfortable bike seat.

I purchased this seat 2 weeks ago and I can hardly describe the relief. People probably though I was nuts riding and laughing at the same time. It is virtually painless because my weight is on my sit bones and not other places. I had to adjust the saddle angle a few times to get it correct. Also I like the way it absorbs the bumps in the road. I think it is worth taking a look at. I am 6’6″, 220 lbs, tall and slender with no fat in the butt. I have tried 6 saddles in the past by either purchasing them or through a demo program. I guess that since this is lucky #7 it worked. I could not go wrong with their 30 day comfort guarantee, so I thought I would try it. Luck for me it worked.

“Today was the big test of the new seat: a 5 hour ride. It works! No pain at all. The old penile neuropathy didn’t show. I used to be not be able to go for much more than a half-hour without having to stop.”

Biking Enthusiast
“Hello, I got my RideOut seat and it is awesome. My backside used to kill me after long rides and now that is a distant memory. It is the most comfortable seat I have ever been on. I plan to buy two more for my other bikes. Keep up the great work.”

“I care about losing weight and getting fit. My doctor recommended biking and now after a decade of not riding, I am enjoying it again, your seat is THAT GOOD.”

“…my latest saddle, which is a Carbon Comfort saddle which I LOVE. I’ve had none of the chronic pain, chaffing, and friction sores on this tour yet that were the hallmark of previous tours. The rear profile is very similar to Joe’s Spiderflex seat that he loves for the same reason, but I didn’t like the Spiderflex and the CC seat is definitely better for me.”

“The Carbon Comfort seat arrived promptly and sat on the shelf for a few weeks while winter did its thing. Installed the seat on Sunday morning. Took just a few minutes, anyone can do it. Hopped on at 11:30 AM thinking a short 2 mile ride would do. Returned home at 4:30 PM having spent most of the day on the bike! Lower legs were very sore. I could barely walk. And guess what else was sore? Nothing! I am sure I don’t have to burden you with the full description of the special places where a 230 pound man can get sore after that many hours on a road bike. No chafing. No soreness. Oh, did I mention it was my first ride of the year? Everyone who rides a bike should try this bike seat.”

Lifetime Biker
“I’m 67 years old, a lifetime biker. Mother nature has taken away my natural padding, but the Carbon Comfort Saddle makes my daily workout painless once more. I don’t know how it works, but it does. I’ll be buying more for my other bikes.”

“The Carbon Comfort seat does exactly what it claims to do.”
Amy Siedenstrang,
Longer Time Rider
“The first time I rode on a Carbon Comfort saddle, I was reminded of an expensive ergonomic office chair — great balance right on the sit-bones, and tilted slightly to take pressure off my back. I realized that my rigid old bicycle seat was forcing me into a static position…no wonder biking always caused low back pain! The problem wasn’t me or my bike, it was my seat… and I’m now riding farther and more frequently than I have in years. My padded bike shorts can stay in the back of my closet! This saddle is really comfy!”

Geared UP, March 2012
By Mike Deme, Editor, Adventure Cyclist editor@adventurecycling.org
Throughout the entire existence of the bicycle, inventors have been trying to devise a comfortable platform on which to sit when operating one of the many varieties of the upright machines. It seems a central focus has been the elimination of the nose of the saddle.
It doesn’t take much imagination to realize that a saddle without a nose might crack the comfort code but there’s a problem – the nose isn’t as useless as to be cast aside cavalierly. Quite the contrary, the nose provides a steering and stabilizing device that can be quite useful to the skilled rider. Some might argue differently, but I’ll defend the saddle nose as something to hang on to.
In the interest of our readers, I’ve tried many alternative saddles since 1994. The verdict on each one has varied from acceptable to downright laughable. The RideOut Carbon Comfort approaches the problem of discomfort differently, and, finally I’m sold on a non-standard saddle. Much of the reason is because the Carbon Comfort actually has a nose. It may be reduced in size and less prominent than on a standard saddle, but it’s there. Significantly, though, the reduced size does eliminate much of the numbness caused by standard-length saddle noses. But’s that not the only reason the Carbon Comfort is so effective. Equally important are the dimensions of the saddle. At 6.75 inches long and 8.75 inches wide, the platform provides excellent area on which your weight can be spread, alleviating pressure on the perineal nerve, which is often the cause of discomfort and numbness (and some say sexual dysfunction) when riding. In addition each side of the Carbon Comfort is raised allowing even less pressure on the perineal nerve while allowing air flow, which also adds a degree of comfort on long rides.
Admittedly, it took a bit of getting used to, but after a week or so of using the Carbon Comfort, I’ve decided to leave it on my touring bike.
At 13.4 ounces (380 grams), and with the Kevlar reinforced cover, the Carbon Comfort offers an excellent option for those who might like to try something a bit different to sit on when riding a
standard upright bike.

I received a saddle from Ride Out Technologies back in July for review and installed it on my Raleigh Sports for a test ride that turned out to be a test Summer.
The saddle is claimed as being the most comfortable bike seat in the world. Some of you have commented on the contrary about that and some of you have agreed. I’ll give you my honest opinion about the seat that stayed on my Raleigh bike for the entire Summer by answering a few obvious questions and share my riding experience.

Rideout Technologies , the makers of the Carbon Comfort seat, were one of our first stops last year, and they were early on our schedule in 2010 as well. When we got a chance to review their innovative new saddle last year, we found it to be impressive despite some finicky setup issues—Read More Other publications that have carried stories about the amazing Carbon Comfort Saddle:
