That's the exact reason - you get what u paid for. Don't expect decent saddle for 40$
Hmmmm. Maybe no that the tariffs have made the prices jump up. But the saddles I got for under $40 last August have been more than decent. Thinking about getting a couple more for some other bikes I have, but I don't really want to pay almost double.
But when I think about it, even at $80, it's a bargain compared to some of boutique western branded saddles that are double that.
