Ryet Ultra full carbon

[Bobinski]

Hi,
Anyone used this? Especially interested in opinion of those users who have also used the Berk Lupina. It was by far my favourite saddle for long rides including 225km. Howver, 2 breakages-following tumbles-and post brexit repair return issues are forcing a reassessment of Ryet alternatives.

I own both the original Berk which is the most comfortable saddle I’ve ever sat on and the Ryet copy. At a quick glance, they look almost identical, but a closer look and a test sit reveal the differences. The Ryet is significantly lighter but also much more poorly made, and it lacks the flex of the Berk. Plus, the Ryet is missing a subtle detail that you notice pretty quickly. I didn't want to admit it at first, but that shallow recess on the saddle nose makes a huge difference in comfort for me. I have to tilt the Ryet’s nose down much further so it doesn't press against my "cojones" 😉

My personal verdict: better suited for weight weenies or casual "ice cream ride" cyclists, but not for serious athletes 😬

That is a hugely helpful reply. I was contemplating buying a few a few. I ride nose down 5 degrees and my cojones might get away with it but if the saddle lacks that all important flex then its probably not worth the risk.

I returned mine after it cracked after the very first test ride. Will be sticking with known brands for now like Selle SMP.

The Ryet’s saddle shell isn’t rock-hard, but it isn’t as compliant as the Berk’s either I’d say maybe 60–70% as flexible. The padding also feels softer, though I suspect it’s just very thin, cheap foam. On top of that, the leather finish is poor, especially around the cutout, so it’ll likely tear quickly on my unit.
Still, every ass is different, and I can easily imagine the Ryet working well for some people; it just doesn’t suit me personally, so I’m sticking with the Berk even though it costs a good four times as much 😬

I am UK based so returns add customs cost risks to Jure at Berk, and me on the return. dding to the cost but my tush is just about worth it

this is a great user review and is consistent with most Ryet saddle dupes. They're all decently made, quite light and comfortably usable, but lack the refinement and absolute comfort of their inspiration. The Ryet 3D printed dupes work well enough for most people but again lack that ultimate refinement of the bid S brand for example (i have both a Romin Evo Mirror and the similar Ryet. Have the Romin Evo Mirror on my SL8 and the Ryet on my Aspero).

I have original Berk Ploh, already replaced. First, leather teared, then shory after this was fixed, rails delaminated from the shell.

I decided to try Ryet 155mm before ordering Lupina Short 155mm just to see if the width suits me. I absolutely love it. 5000km later it shows no signs od use. The rails/shell bonding seems to be a better solution than Berk’s epoxy gluing. Even if it fails, I can buy 3 more and this would be less effort than dealing with Berk warranty claims.

My idea was to get a Berk as soon as the first Ryet was giving up, but that hasn't happend yet. I've got 5 of the Ryet ones now, narrow and wide, and they all work great. The two wide ones are on one of my Gravelbikes as well as one XC bike. Still going strong.

And with ~30k of riding each year I'd consider myself a serious athlete

I am sorry but, 30k? Do you genuinely ride over 80k per day and not miss a day in a year?

The trick is to have your social life on the bike as well. And being into long distance riding. And cycling being part of my job.

I usually miss about 7 days a year without being on any bike.
