Hey, could you do me a favor and measure the width of the nose of the saddles?
Thank you.

I have ordered two new Ryet carbon 3D saddles from Lexon (in 143mm and 140mm wide).
One of them got loose after less than 300km. The other one has only 112km, let's see what happens with it.
They sent me 50% of the price back. The saddles look good, weigh 170-175g more than in the description, but that’s fine as long as they feel good and are durable.
In terms of feel, they’re not bad or comfortable for my ass, for me just regular saddles….

I ordered the cassette from AliExpress (Goldix xdr 12s) and it has maybe 3000 km. I used it for cyclocross racing and training, most of the kilometers were on the road. It runs quietly with a standard sram and shimanksy chain and has always shifted perfectly. I can understand in case of the sprocket made of alloy, but have you ever seen broken steel teeth on Shimano, Sram or Campagnolo cassettes?

The second saddle with synthetic leather is also damaged.

Did you send any images to the customer service?
Not yet, but I don't think I can prove I haven't had a crash. At Eurobike 2025, I saw this saddle and other Ryet models under at least six other labels. I showed them pictures, and they all claimed the others were fakes.  ;) Probably an open-mold product. However, when I ordered it, I noticed the date had been moved forward to shorten the warranty period...

Hello, I have ridden this Ryet saddle a lot, training sessions and races, and I have felt always very comfortable, not remember having any big falls with it.

Negative points: the saddle rails are very rudimentarily glued, it already lacks material and the synthetic leather does not last long.
The second saddle with synthetic leather is also damaged. I will test a new 3d printed model from Ryet....
