ASISTA Royal Rok Saddle

I decided to join the cycle to work scheme recently and started riding in everyday. It's only about 4 miles so nothing too arduous but after about 3 days I couldn't even get off the seat when I got home without crippling pain in areas you really don't want crippling pain!I stayed off the bike for a couple of days for my nether regions to recover and research some saddles. There are some very expensive saddles about claiming to reduce saddle sores and bum pain but without being able to try them I really didn't want to pay out a fortune.The Selle Royal ROK is a reasonable price to take a risk on and with Amazon's great returns policy I thought I'd give it a go.I have to say that I will NOT be returning the saddle because I can now cycle miles more than I did before without even thinking about being uncomfortable. It takes a bit of getting used to as it flexes on the springs so you feel like you're wobbling about a bit but after a few minutes to don't even notice that.I would really recommend this to anyone who is suffering from sore and numb 'bits' and doesn't mind that it looks a little unusual.

I received this seat quicker than the estimated date (by 2 weeks). It's smaller than I anticipated. Was easy to install. Haven't tested out as yet. Will update after the test drive. Only 3 stars until I can have a comfortable journey and no longer suffer pain in my nether regions. Date today is 15 May 2020. Update on 6 June 2020. I've used this saddle for approximately 2 weeks now. I'm cycling for 30, twice a day, to and from work. I no longer suffer pain in my nether regions. This saddle may be small but is surprisingly comfortable. Thank you for making cycling enjoyable again. x

Bought it for my wife because she'd been uncomfortable on the hard saddle provided with her bike. She also, like the previous reviewer (Angela), couldn't understand why saddles need to have a "nose". Having replaced her old saddle with the Selle Royal ROK, she has remarked on the massive difference to the comfort of her bike. The gel is very soft and the shape is far more favourable.This saddle was very easy to fit. (I did have to purchase a new saddle clamp but only because the existing one on her Raleigh bike was difficult to use once I'd removed the old saddle).My wife did note that, due to the shape of the saddle, she felt as though she were falling forward while riding. I've since raised the handlebars and this new upright ride position is (apparently) much better.In summary, some adjustment may be required and it takes a few minutes to get used to it but it's worth it for the huge difference in comfort.

Brilliant bike seat!! I found a not.al bike seat with nose too painful to ride, and this is perfect! Takes a little while to get used to, but once you do it's great! Definitely would recommend to anyone having trouble with a standard nose bike seat!

Only just fitted this, but already SO much more comfortable than the saddle with a nose.

This saddle seemed like a good idea as I was was keen to try a saddle without the 'pointy' bit (painful for many women!) However, it triggered a bad bout of sciatica for which I'm still having treatment - but it did tell tell me the pointy bit is necessary to maintain your core balance. I will now be ordering padded pants!
