Planet Bike 5020 A.R.S. Standard bike seat - Men's

Put simply, the seat is awesome! no pressure AT ALL on the perineum for me.
Everyone is different, but the design of this seat relieved that discomfort and I hardly even notice it.
So far so good. Is comfortable. Stitching is also very nice too. Good looking.
Very pleased. Had prostatitis and didn't want that again, so switch out the stock seat on my Masi road bike to this.
It does what it's advertised to do: provide comfort. When I take it for rides that are less than 30 miles, I experience absolutely no discomfort.

Planet Bike 5022 Men's ARS Competition Anatomic Relief Saddle with Gel

Overall, the seat looks good, is relatively comfortable and is easy to install and adjust.
This seat has been very comfortable, no pain whatsoever except in REALLY long rides after I haven't been on the bike for a while.
This saddle makes you forget about your saddle, so you're not constantly shifting and adjusting your sitting position to stay comfortable.
What I like about this seat is the supportive section has rounded edges just a bit wider than other seats, which means those quick trips in regular shorts don't hurt.
The comfort in combination with the relatively low price of the saddle makes it a good buy for anybody looking for a new bicycle saddle.

What customers say about "Features"

Planet Bike 5020 A.R.S. Standard bike seat - Men's

It's VERY comfortable. IMO the most comfortable seat short of a sprung tractor style saddle, and the ARS seat is not so big that it hampers your pedaling very much.
The seat doesn't have a ton of gel padding, so it's a lot firmer than the over-the-top plush Avenir seat.
The seat looks nice, and I'm really psyched about getting on my bike more to commute to work and to explore all the awesome bike paths around my city.
Additionally, this seat does not appear to absorb moisture when stuck in the rain.
I have this seat on a hard tail mountain bike. Worked well. Was comfortable the entire ride. No numbing. The channel works well.

Planet Bike 5022 Men's ARS Competition Anatomic Relief Saddle with Gel

The cutout section in the center of the seat works great and definitely aids in relieving pressure.
The saddle nose is narrow, so it does not impede motion at high cadences, and the gel offers a comfort level that foam simply can't.
It feels great!! good quality, has nice cushion for the 'cheek bones' of your butt, and the design means no pressure and good air ventilation as well.
Relieves pressure on the important parts. I love that the channel is open all the way down the nose.
It has been very comfortable and has really long rails for a lot of adjustmant to get it right where you want it.
