Terry Mens Fly Tri Gel Bicycle Saddle Black 2164400
Designed for long distance riders and triathletes who put lots of saddle time in without taking breaks. The Fly Tri Gel has a layer of sculpted gel that is concentrated across the top and at the nose of the saddle, with additional inserts at the ischial tuberosites in the rear. This doesn’t add much in terms of weight, but sure takes the edge off when you live on your saddle. The smooth leather cover is perforated to enhance breathability and reduce heat build-up. Completely cut away through the mid-section, making it flexible and comfortable against soft tissues; lightweight, extremely strong, tubular vanox rails attach to the shell in an integral suspension bridge design that minimizes road shock (a great feature for those with lower back issues). Handmade in Italy.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars comfy saddle
Recently bought new Cannondale R2000. After many painful hours on the stock saddle and too many painful hours on another saddle, I tried the Terry Fly Tri Gel and have finally found bliss. The cut out relieves pressure as advertised. A comforatable saddle is a very “personal” item and I highly recommend giving this saddle a Tri.
5 Stars Oxymoron
Before using this saddle, it was my opinion that a comfortable bicycle seat was an oxymoron. However, this one get the nod as the best I have ever used in over 20,000 miles, and probably 10 different saddles. I am using it on a mountain bike, even though Terry would probably reccomend one of their others. The long nose keeps things under control while out of the saddle.
5 Stars Great bike seat
I have a new bike seat once a year, and nothing has felt really good. This seat breaks the streak by being light, solid, and comfortable. I highly recommend it.
5 Stars Great Saddle
This is a grate saddle, very comfortable, not wide and no so narrow providing very good “touch” with your bottom
The secret is to put only the bothom bones in the saddle in order not to compress the fat an extra skin of your “rear”
Not so cheap but is hand made with a very good quality, not lycra, real leather that will least a lot
If you are looking for a saddle for long rides, then this is it,
NO regrets till now
5 Stars Great choice!
I’ve been ridng on rock hard tri saddles for a while and i’m much more comfortable on long rides with this one. Comfy ride, no chaffing, no numbness. Choosing a new saddle is never easy, lots of choices and every butt is different. Now…if you ask 15 riders about their choice of saddles you’ll most likely get 15 different recommendations but if you’re looking for comfort, performance and ergonomics try this one. I’ve got a few others sitting on the shelf that won’t be back on my tri bike any time soon.

Fizik 2009 Gobi XM MTB Bicycle Saddle Braided Carbon Rails Black F1700809
The Fizik Gobi XM Braided Carbon Saddle is one of our favorite saddles — it adapts technology from the Fizik Arione road saddle for MTB use. Like the Arione, the Fizik Gobi XM Braided Carbon Saddle features a flat profile with WingFlex technology, which is Aramid cloth wrapped around the plastic shell on the sides. The shell has tines, like a comb, which are suspended in place by the Aramid. Depending on how you ride it, the plastic underneath breaks free of the rest of the saddle and the Aramid holds the shell in place, creating controlled flex. Likewise, the TailFlex works the same way. The Aramid-wrapped tail pieces (more tines) are designed to give more than solid plastic and as a pattern of use emerges, the section softens, the shell pieces breaking free of the shell but remaining attached via the cloth wrap flexing more and with your body. And the distance between the rails and the top of the saddle shell has been moved closer to one another for both lighter weight, less chance of chafing between the rails and saddle body, and better aesthetics. The rails are made from braided carbon-fiber and then wrapped with another layer of carbon fiber cloth for even greater durability as well as a rough surface for easy clamping. Another design feature for adding strength to the rails is the fact that they’re oval — 9mm tall by 7mm wide. People are going to ask if carbon-fiber rails are durable enough for off-road riding. The saddle possesses Fizik’s Integrated Clip System (ICS)
