...installation, fits virtually all road bikes. Seat padding consists of two high density foam pads, that are inwardly / outwardly adjustable ( we're all built differently ). Removable , covers are a great option and an extra set of seat pads are included. I recommend this bike seat for people who are serious about fitness, need a real hornless bike seat and understand the dynamics of exercise. cycling avidly for 20 years, uncomfortable bicycle seats have been a thorn in my side (or should I say groin). This bike seat solves the problem !Far more than merely a comfortable bicycle seat, this hornless bike saddle rescues delicate nerves and arteries of the perineum region from injury often caused by horned bike seats. I had a licensed Physical Therapist examine this ergonomic bicycle seat, who confirmed the seat's design eliminates perineum pressure, transferring body weight instead to the ischium, or "sit bones". The absence of a horn means absolutely no interference; like nothing you've experienced. The ingenious Spongy Wonder Bike seat has a U.S. patented design that, unlike other "hornless" bicycle seats which merely incorporate a modified horn (the looped rail frame of a traditional bike seat) utterly eliminates the looped frame (horn) so there's nothing but air space beneath the groin area and no rail(s) to interfere with thighs or hamstrings! You'll pedal naturally, freely and comfortably with more positive transfer of energy. The website chronicprostatitis.com recommend this seat for men with prostatitis .
Aesthetically pleasing,the smooth, stainless steel rod gives a high-tech,appearance. The twin, neoprene seat pads adhere to lazer cut, stainless steel bases which are inwardly and outwardly adjustable in width, from 8.25 in. (20 cm.) to 10 in. (25 cm.). MK-7 maximum width is 11.25 in. (28 cm.)Don't be confused, the looped rail, extending below and in front of the seat pads, is nothing like the horn of a regular bike saddle! It's just a short, lowered section of frame that attaches to your existing seat clamp. This is a hornless bike seat. Held in the hand, the saddle has the weight,feel and look of quality,it's well made, functional and looks it. An extra set of seat pads is included in the event of damage from a fall, vandalism etc.,that's something you don't get with any other bike seat! Which model should you buy ? Visually the seats are virtually identical. The manufacturer, Spongy Wonder Inc., advise that there are weight limitations for the seats: The MK-6 and MK-7 both have the same frame, 5/16th of an inch stainless steel. Mark-6 weighs 550 grams, and seat pads are 3.50 in. wide x 3.50 in. long and 1 in. thick - intended for riders up to 195 lbs. Mark-7weighs 600 grams and pads are of 3.75 in. wide x 4.25 in. long and 1 in. thick - suited for heavier riders up to 220 pounds in weight. The standard seats,MK-6, MK-7, are not suited for trail riding, trick riding or downhilling, rather they are for use with regular road bicycles on paved roads. The Mark-9 weighs 750 grams; seat pads are 3.75 in. wide x 4.25 in. long and 1 in. thick. MK-9 has a double frame so is much stronger. The manufacturer, Spongy Wonder Inc., provide a lifetime warranty for this seat and advise that the Mark-9 bicycle seat is suitable for off road, trail riding and / or heavier riders up to 330 pounds. This hornless bike seat will affix only to a micro-adjustable seat clamp and a longer bolt is included to accommodate your new seat. What about exercise bikes ? Exercise bikes range in the way the seat is affixed and some exercise bikes will readily accept the Spongy wonder seat ( my exercise bike does ), others may not. The best advice is to try attaching a regular bicycle seat to your exercise bike. You'll notice that the bicycle seat has two parallel rails fit to the clamping mechanism on the seat post, well the Spongy Wonder seat has two parallel rails designed to fit in the clamping mechanism of the regular bike seat. So, if the regular bicycle seat fits your exercise bike then the Spongy Wonder seat will too. Seat covers - optional with every orderThe perfect compliment to the bike seat, the covers increase comfort and enhance performance by allowing your body to shift naturally while pedaling, otherwise,lycra bike pants will stick slightly to the laminated surface of the seat. Further, the covers protect the neoprene foam seat pads, from scuffs, damage and pressure indentations. The seat covers resist moisture and perspiration and are easily removed and washable. Durable and great looking, the seat covers finish the seat perfectly and are made to last for years. I've ridden the seat with and without the covers and originally was quite satisfied with the "naked" seat. In comparison, now, though, my seat is dressed up, more comfortable and performs better with the seat covers - now I won't ride without them. In my opinion they're a necessity to fully appreciate this hornless bike seat and well worth the money . Available in: red, blue, yellow, , black. Comfortable? this saddle is very unique and a key feature is the generous foam pads which have been exhaustively developed for comfort over a five year period to what they are today. The seat, in my opinion, is a pleasure to ride and enormously more comfortable than a stock bike seat. Realize though, your weight is now transferred to the ischium (sit bones) and like many forms of new, specific exercise it may take a little time for your glutes (bum muscles) to adapt. This is especially true if you are relatively new to exercise and have atrophied or underdeveloped glute muscles. The function of this seat is to shift the pressure point of body weight from the delicate groin area to the more robust buttocks (sit bones). So, if you are new to exercise and cycling, and just looking for a cushy seat, this may not be for you. There are other dual pad, hornless and semi- hornless single pad seats on the market that may suit you better. This seat is better suited to persons looking for a true hornless bike seat solution. The seat installs with ease to a micro-adjustable seat clamp, and to a "U" style seat clamp but may require a few taps with a hammer to fit both rails in the "U" style clamp. Neither clamp is included because your existing seat is likely one of these and if not the clamp ( preferably micro-adjustable ) can be obtained at any bike shop. Once installed a simple height adjustment to the seat post and handle bars adapted the bike seat to my liking in about 5 minutes. Nothing to it! I'm so confident in the design and quality of this bike seat that I provide a 120 day satisfaction guarantee! |
