3D Printed Saddles
Serge_K:
There's a 3d printed carbon saddle on AliX trending at 50USD shipped to Europe. The metal one is 30-40 from memory.

The brand got me wishing to risk it, because other 3d saddles offering in Aliexpress don't look that trustworthy, this at least got 1yr warranty (at least it says it does...)
I was using a Mixed 5D for bit over 1yr and was really good for a long time, until it wasn't anymore (last 2 months or so), think the padding lost resistance overtime

That Ryet Aircode is really good. Did 100km on my very stiff hardtail mtb with it last sunday and it was way more comfortable than the Fizik Antares R1 Versus Evo it replaced. It builds quite far forward though, I'm running it pushed all the way back on it's rails.

I rode my two bikes this week, one with a Ryet 3D printed carbon saddle and the other with a regular carbon padded saddle. It's been about 95 degrees (35 celsius) where I live so it's been quite hot. The regular carbon saddle in the beginning is more comfortable to sit on, but after an hour into the ride it gets less comfortable, you notice more friction as you move on the saddle and the padded material heats up from the sun making it quite hot. The 3D saddle feels less comfortable in the beginning, but the longer you ride the more your sit bone begins to adapt. Also the sun doesn't heat up the saddle as you're sitting, keeping your posterior quite cool.
I think I'm beginning to lean towards 3D printed saddles as the go-to saddle. Besides the slight weight penalty, at least for the conditions I ride in, the benefits outweigh the cons.

Anyone tried this one? I like the dimensions and that is is fairly flat, I don't like saddles like specislized power as they push me too much of the saddle to thw front.
