Review Time
I own a specialized Roubaix bike.
The seat I received will not go on the bike post as the seat attachment for the two seats are so different.
I do not have an answer but surely you will. i wish i would have known the configuration ahead of time.
I guess I will use the seat on my office chair so i won't feel like i wasted all of my money.
I will try to find a seat locally or find a carbon post to mount the seat on. Not sure how my fanny will handle that.
When I received my seat, the seat had a small cut on the under side. I contacted customer service and reported the damage. They immediately apologized and told me that they are sending me a new seat. I received the shipped email 2 days later. I was pleasantly surprised. Because of the customer service, I am giving Ascent a five star rating.
Great saddle once it finally got here. Very well constructed. The memory foam has just the right amount of "give" to it for an extremely comfortable ride. The fit and finish of the saddle demonstrates that it was manufactured with care. I look forward to having this saddle on my bike for many years to come. It is a great value for the price.
1) Shipping: There was effectively no tracking after I submitted my order. The tracking number provided took me to a mystery page with no information except a link to an "alternate" tracking site (!). This opened the App Store, where I was invited to download a mysterious shipping app I'd never heard of, with a two-star rating. This was the same on my phone and in multiple browsers on my laptop, and it meant I had no idea if my gloves were coming the next day, the next week, or the next month.
Meanwhile I received multiple emails from Ascent asking how I was enjoying my "saddle." Mind you, I'd ordered gloves. I reached out to Ascent wondering if I'd been shipped the wrong product, and to their credit they wrote back immediately, apologizing for the odd emails and nonfunctional tracking system. As it turned out the gloves arrived quickly enough, but if they're selling merchandise on the internet they should have a tracking system that works. I should mention the gloves arrived in a plain plastic envelope with no documentation, labeling, shipping invoice, etc. Weird.
2) Product: The gloves are just not great. I wouldn't even call them "good." They fit okay (I used their sizing system and it was accurate) but the clunky construction and stiff material in the fingers makes them too inflexible for cycling, and thus uncomfortable.
This could sort of be forgiven if they performed their main task: Keeping my fingers warm, which they do not. I rode on a windy 36°F day and my fingers went numb, thawing out only after a few miles when my blood started flowing. I would have been warmer and more comfortable with a pair of good quality work gloves at half the price.
Why haven't I returned them? Because I found out it requires sending them back at my expense to Sweden. Maybe this was mentioned when I ordered, but not prominently.
Maybe their saddles are decent, I don't know, but I based on my experience I won't be buying anything else from Ascent.
The people that create this bike seat are honest hard working bike enthusiasts that seem to do everything possible to create comfortable bike seat that performs with the best of bike seats, yet at a fraction of the cost of the uber expensive bike seats.
It is certainly an improvement over the standard Specialized seat... but, I have nothing to compare with the $$ pricy seats... but
this seat gives me no stress or hard sit points that create distracting pain... I never had those kind of issues with the Specialized seat that came with my $7000 Turbo Levo MTB, but... on long rides I'd get some muscle tendon strain on the back upper thighs... I felt was odd, since I ride enough not to have out of shape muscles there... but, with this saddle, those weird stress muscle issuses disappeared.
again,
I don't have the experience of trying the very expensive seats... or the short seat without the traditional nose that sticks out...
these were very intriging to me in my quest for the perfect seat....
however,
I ran out of extra money to throw at seats...
but,
with this seat...
I'm no longer in the market for a replacement...
until perhaps I win the lottery
;)
I noticed that my old saddle was becoming uncomfortable, likely due to my age. After some searching, I found this saddle and decided to try it. What a transformation! I can ride for longer with much more comfort. I wholeheartedly recommend this saddle.
I realized my old saddle was becoming uncomfortable, probably because I'm not getting any younger. After some research, I found this saddle and decided to try it. What a difference! I can ride longer and much more comfortably. I highly recommend this saddle.
After placing an order, the processing time is quite slow by today’s standards—3 days before shipping and another 7 days for delivery, which seems excessive considering the proximity. The tracking is through a lesser-known company requiring an app, unlike standard carriers. However, I took my usual 8-mile ride and didn’t have to adjust my position at all. The saddle is very comfortable.
I purchased the Sport+ model for my exercise bike and highly recommend it for active users. The narrower design is significantly more comfortable than the standard saddle that came with the bike, especially during longer or more intense rides. It’s a fantastic upgrade for those seeking a performance-focused seat.
