ISM PS Series No Nose Bike Saddle - Noseless Bike Seat Designed for Triathletes, Time Trial Riders, and Road Racers - Patented Split Nose Bicycle Saddle Designed for Reduced Discomfort

As Rihanna sings, "where have you been all my life?" This saddle is a game changer. I'm yet to find a negative about this product so I'll jump into the positive.I'm a triathlete and have been having abdominal discomfort in aero the last couple of races (olympic and half IM distances) despite seat adjustments and a bike fit. I'm training for a full Ironman so comfort for the 112 mile ride is definitely important. This ISM saddle is the ticket!It took me about half a dozen micro rides and adjustments to get this seat in what I believe to be the optimal position. I just took it out for a 25 miler today and couldn't be happier. I spent most of the time in aero and had no issues. This saddle allowed me to comfortably get into a more aggressive aero position with no discomfort in my abdomen or my junk (I'm a male). When sitting upright, it was a very minor shift to move backward in the seat in order to climb a hill.I can't wait for a longer ride to really put this saddle to the test. If you're in the market, look no further!

Love this saddle so much- I’m a tall triathlete who rides in an aggressive position, and the PS 1.1 is the only saddle I trust to give me the comfort and blood flow I need during my rides. It breaks in quickly for me after just a ride or two, and then it just totally disappears underneath me. It lasts about 8 months for me- if you are smaller/lighter it may last longer for you - but it’s well worth the price.

ISM PS1.1 is the new branding for the old Adamo Road saddle. I ordered both (aside ISM's re-branding is really confusing as both saddles are in pipeline) and the only noteworthy changes are a slight taper to the arms and a slightly grippier saddle cover on the PS1.1.As for the saddle itself, there's definitely no free lunch here, in order to take the pressure of your squishy bits, your weight moves onto your hands and sit bones. The first handful of longer rides were pretty painful as I got the fit diled in (and my backside acclimated); but I'm happy to say that after a few hundred miles my body has mostly adapted and the saddle is comfortable.All things considered, not particularly light or sexy looking, but if you give it a chance it can be pretty solid for a recreational rider.

I started using this saddle years ago when nothing else worked. My coach was doing a fitting and said, "Let's try this one." A bit of spinning and I knew THIS IS THE ONE! It's ok for an hour or an hour and a half, but two hours is uncomfortable to me.

After only two rides the saddle is showing signs of wear and tear. The saddle feel good and serves the purpose; however, there seems to be a dent already in the foam in one of the prongs.Not at all satisfied with the quality of the product.

I bought this seat based on all the great reviews, but unfortunately it fell short of my expectations. It is a narrow seat so it doesn't work well for those with wide sit bones or a larger build like myself. I did find that it relieved a lot of pressure on the soft tissue, but made my sit bones sore. But that is due to wide sit bones.

This saddle is fantastic. It offers enough flexibility to adjust position fore/aft and is comfortable in both aero and aggressive road positions.Regarding authenticity: if you have trouble registering your product on ISM's website, or it says "suspected counterfeit," contact them before you assume it's a fake. I had the same problem, but support at ISM says many people have issues using the right serial number. They registered it for me and confirmed it's the real deal.

If you ride aerobars (ultra distance or triathlon), this is the type of saddle to ride! ISM has various widths and lengths to fit any rider, but this model, ISM PS 2.0, is a good middle-of-the-road fit.I would not recommend this type of saddle for riding on the drops or hoods (of a regular road bike handlebar).I rode 4000 miles in 2020 on an older ISM Adamo Prologue and have ridden about 500 miles on this ISM PS 2.0 in 2021.
