Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Ryet Ultra full carbon
« on: August 09, 2026, 04:39:41 AM »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.
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 😬

X68 replacement maybe?
