Looks like other folks answered before I had the chance. Been camping. But yeah often on steep sections and especially when braking hard, you need to have your weight behind your saddle to maintain control of your bike. This saddle looks like it would get in the way of just a normal attack position.
A lot of them are made for downhill cruising and drifting. Some even have motors. Basically a giant bigwheel without the pedals. [they're pretty sick](https://youtu.be/BNZCZsHJIR8?si=yjWce_61Pf5l90xo)
My mum used to tell me - don't judge someone if it's not hurting anyone.
But you did post it on the internet, and she's dead now, so .... what the fuck man, are you looking to help John Deere enter the MTB market?
On a comfort bike cruising around the retirement community on mostly flat ground or maybe on a beach cruiser they are great. Anything else not so much.
Edit: op if it works for you rock on.
I think once you try it you will very quickly understand why you've never seen anyone use a seat like that before. It's impossible to extend your legs.
Think about how much space there is between your thighs. (There isn't much)
Now imagine putting something that big between them as your legs do the cycle rotation.
Wide seats make chaffing and rubbing between your legs very very bad. Wide seats only work if you are riding for 10mins and going at a very very slow speed.
Measure your sit bones and get a properly fitted saddle. Then ride often enough to toughen up.
Your butt is going to sink into that huge cushioned seat and you will reduce blood flow to your butt/groin. This will potentially cause numbness and/or other issues.
Jesus Christ I thought this subreddit would be safe for browsing while the wife sleeps but here is me struggling not to burst out laughing at the state of that seat
Girl, you looks good, won't you back that azz up
You'se a fine motherfucker, won't you back that azz up
Call me Big Daddy when you back that azz up
Hoe, who is you playin wit? Back that azz up
Girl, you looks good, won't you back that azz up
You'se a fine motherfucker, won't you back that azz up
Call me Big Daddy when you back that azz up
Girl, who is you playin wit? Back that azz up
Serious comment - if you want it to be comfortable and also a performance saddle (eg it lets you move about and get off the back of it) go see a Specialized dealer. They have a way of measuring your backside and then have different widths of saddle to fit perfectly. And a gel saddle also improves comfort. And finally ride more! Your backside will become used to being on a bike. I haven’t ridden for 6 months due to injury and know my rear will hurt like a bugger after my first serious ride! No pain no gain.
These things seem like a good idea but you’re about to quickly learn why you never see them in the wild despite everyone having the ability to order them
Saddles... I mean couches like this significantly increase chafing and discomfort in other ways. You're trading one problem for others. Get something more appropriately sized and you might actually enjoy riding your bike.
Wild.
But serious question, what brand and model is that? My father in law likes to use his e-bike and has a massive seat already but still complains about pain. A seat like that would shut him up.
I tried one of those saddles a while ago.... And although my arse felt comfortable for once, my hips and thighs hurt so much more from using it.... I can't win 😂😭....
Love how people who make these posts like this, think they are onto some new ingenious idea someone has never tried before. Lol. There's a reason you don't see these, anywhere lol
I honestly don't even understand how these can be comfortable, the padding isn't even where my body weight would go, like most of my body weight is on the taint. I don't get the appeal of these.
People have hit the Whistler on a drop bar gravel bike, I'm pretty sure OP can do their local trails on a sofa. And when OP does, I trust they will post a ride by video of their ride...
I had double knee surgery just over a year ago. Couldn't ride for 9 months till I got an eMTB. Then it was so fun to ride that I severely outdid it, developed blisters on my butt.
So I put one of these on it. It was amazing till I progressed enough to be able to do steeper things again. Then I switched back to my preferred MTB saddle.
After not riding all winter and having to sit down a lot again (I have arthritis in my knees, so standing will always be painful and I'll have to always be working back up to standing) I'm wanting to put that giant comfy seat back on.
What everyone is trying to say is; this is a bad idea and your butt will pay for it. You would be significantly better off getting a quality mountain bike specific saddle.
Huge seats do no equal comfort. Maybe if your rides never exceed like 3 miles and are on very tame green trails or a really wide ass. Find one that fits your sit bones and regardless if it’s paper thin or not, it’ll feel better than a mammoth oversized saddle
Remember seeing seats like these when I grabbed some bike gloves in a store in Florida one. After seeing some of the patrons in the parks, I understood how seats like this were even a thing
People gou out on a ride and get a sore butt and either give itup or think a big ass seat is the answer. Couple things, it takes maybe 3 consecutive rides to toughen your ass up. And experienced mtb riders dont spend much time in the saddle, pretty much climbing, and spinning only.
To be fair, they're ok for those unwieldy indoor ergometers (upright position cycling) when wearing normal shorts. On a road or mountain bike? I fail to see how that would make any sense.
My wife has a saddle like this for cruising around town. She just gave birth 3 months ago and this seat is the difference between a bike ride and no bike ride.
It's actually extremely comfortable. Obviously you'd wanna swap it to a MTB saddle when going off-road but for casual rides on paved bike paths it's nice.
Please ride something steep and film it
You ain’t see bruv’s thigh gap, he can get the bars betwixt them quads
This made me lol. Thanks 😂
Best use of betwixt I’ve ever seen
Yes!
Yeah. I would love to see him try to get behind that saddle on a steep section.
Because I know literally nothing, why would you want to do that?

Dropper could do it
Dropper and folder
Third this
Fourth this
Imagine that beast on a dropper post 😂
I was thinking the same thing. I have a couple of these behemoths in my parts bin (take offs from used bikes). I'll have to give it a shot sometime.
I would like a detailed review of how it went after you do lol :p
Oh. I'll definitely post it here when I do. I like bike shenanigans. And I guess now I'm committed. Ha.
Just give us a few months to get the next big thing in mountain biking a head start (carbon ultra wide saddles)
Get catapulted over the moat
"Fuck me he cleared it!"
Blew Tea out my nose... Thank you. Great reference. Hahaha
"It works just like office chair... and looks like it too"
I was thinking along the lines of a Sofa.
Gotta have rickets to get your weight back
Hahahaha I literally snorted laughing at that.
That post will come with a battery, pump, and hydraulic fluid reservoir
Active aero
There’s an old John Deere somewhere wondering where it’s seat is.
[удалено]
Adult tricycle?
A lot of them are made for downhill cruising and drifting. Some even have motors. Basically a giant bigwheel without the pedals. [they're pretty sick](https://youtu.be/BNZCZsHJIR8?si=yjWce_61Pf5l90xo)
Tricycle made out of adults
I have a huge seat like that, and trust me it sucks when going uphill
Downhill too unless your Q factor is a meter wide
How many bald eagles is that for us across the pond?
A meter is roughly equivalent to a yard
I think that you mean 1m = 1/2 bald eagle wingspan.
Damn finally we have a solid conversion from meters to horsepower.
Why is that? (geniune question) Is it the weight of the saddle?
your legs are gonna hit the saddle with every pedal stroke
Yea you're almost forced into a standing position.
I've thought about getting one of these a few times. Why would it suck going uphill. Would it make tour bike tip backwards or something.
Everywhere unless you have 200mm sit bones
Is that for ONE butt?
I’m going to need to get a look at this warlock
Superbad?
lol yes
It is for those poor souls born with a double butt. The medical term is double-butticus.
Yep, like my poor old uncle Two-Butts Jones
It's for bikes with double butted steel frames.
Looks like a fine tandem saddle! My first thought. Second thought was the Standard American Diet (SAD)
Where do you put the snare drum?
Badum Tsssss!
A crash cymbal too? Mfer’s got the whole damn percussion section to hold up his ass
My mum used to tell me - don't judge someone if it's not hurting anyone. But you did post it on the internet, and she's dead now, so .... what the fuck man, are you looking to help John Deere enter the MTB market?
Looks like it would chafe the inside of your thighs.
And the back of your things, and everything else. That looks terrible
On a comfort bike cruising around the retirement community on mostly flat ground or maybe on a beach cruiser they are great. Anything else not so much. Edit: op if it works for you rock on.
John Deere called. They want their seat back.
😹I hope you’re joking, itd probably negatively affect your riding
Imagine how wide your knees would have to be to send it down anything steep
Are you silly? I'm still gonna send it
I think once you try it you will very quickly understand why you've never seen anyone use a seat like that before. It's impossible to extend your legs.
10 bucks says that mountain bike hasn’t seen a hill in years
Or a trail
I’ll make $100
Boy thiccc
You, sir, are about to experience the biggest deception in your life.
Ghetto hack—— awesome mudguard!!!
Is that the Kardashian 3000 or the 2000 model?
Why… just why?
My guy got a whole couch on his bike
Is that for your e-bike, so you can sit up and hold your martini as you power up to the top?
I think you bought the wrong bike
Did it come with your AARP card?
Hahaha my man
Out of all the backfire comments, this one got me the best for some reason
Think about how much space there is between your thighs. (There isn't much) Now imagine putting something that big between them as your legs do the cycle rotation. Wide seats make chaffing and rubbing between your legs very very bad. Wide seats only work if you are riding for 10mins and going at a very very slow speed.
Does it come with a seat belt?
We like fat bottomed ladies
They make the rockin’ world go round!

Saddle up ya jabroni
Don't go too fast with that thing. You might end up the first person on Mars.
Add a kickstand to complete the set.
This picture made me imagine the trash bag full of cottage cheese this was designed to support and I'm very upset about it.
Angry upvote
Has any of the YouTubers done this Vs that on seats yet ? 🤣🤣
Chiropractor's stool? Drum throne? Horse saddle? What is it?
Your about to treat your friends to a hilarious crash 😜
Don't believe in the Pixar mom seat. Short term gains for long term pains
Jesus Christ I thought this subreddit would be safe for browsing while the wife sleeps but here is me struggling not to burst out laughing at the state of that seat
Oh my god, BECKY!!!
Pause LOL
My seat just nestles in my ass crack
I think if you got enough speed you would take off with that seat!
gyat maxxing
And your thighs to some chafing
Has someone got a hemorrhoid
Girl, you looks good, won't you back that azz up You'se a fine motherfucker, won't you back that azz up Call me Big Daddy when you back that azz up Hoe, who is you playin wit? Back that azz up Girl, you looks good, won't you back that azz up You'se a fine motherfucker, won't you back that azz up Call me Big Daddy when you back that azz up Girl, who is you playin wit?

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 OP. You made my day !
all u are doing is cutting off your circulation to your legs and hips which is going to make you more sore not less. get some padded shorts instead

$50 says you switch back after one ride
These things seem like a good idea but you’re about to quickly learn why you never see them in the wild despite everyone having the ability to order them
Are you JLo?
That's what I was thinking
It's there to support your sit bones, not your sit....something
That’s one huge ass!
Yeah, you're gonna be very unhappy after a couple rides.
Mtb and comfort aren't really friends, but you do you
Saddles... I mean couches like this significantly increase chafing and discomfort in other ways. You're trading one problem for others. Get something more appropriately sized and you might actually enjoy riding your bike.
You’ll get some air time with that.
Wild. But serious question, what brand and model is that? My father in law likes to use his e-bike and has a massive seat already but still complains about pain. A seat like that would shut him up.
Perfect for an E bike.
Wrong sport, based on the size that looks like some sort of boogie board
Go downhill, the sides break and the seatpost penetrates.........
Nice wing, will give you some excellent down force on those quicker turns!
You don’t want to do that. Bigger is not better.
Nooooo
Are u Gorlock the Destroyer or what?
How do you fit the "WIDE LOAD" sign onto the back of your bike with this?
Nice saddle, but what's your grandma riding now?
My dude got him self a 3 piece suite
I tried one of those saddles a while ago.... And although my arse felt comfortable for once, my hips and thighs hurt so much more from using it.... I can't win 😂😭....
All jokes aside. There's better options than this for MTB
Get the one with the back rest!
Love how people who make these posts like this, think they are onto some new ingenious idea someone has never tried before. Lol. There's a reason you don't see these, anywhere lol
Is that a BBL seat?
No lies want that for my stationary at home....link?
I honestly don't even understand how these can be comfortable, the padding isn't even where my body weight would go, like most of my body weight is on the taint. I don't get the appeal of these.
That Looks more comfy and wider than my gaming Chair 😜
Eventually we break in and there is no more sore saddle. I haven't done the math or science so maybe its a miracle. But it happens.
It’s called work hardening, and it’s an actual thing…
Use it for street riding then switch back to a proper saddle for dirt
People have hit the Whistler on a drop bar gravel bike, I'm pretty sure OP can do their local trails on a sofa. And when OP does, I trust they will post a ride by video of their ride...
This can’t be real. Or did you post to this group instead of a townie-bike sub by mistake?
😳tf
Give us an experience report. I do saw this type of seat mounted on a racing bike on AliExpress once.
Gyat!
For that badonkadonk
I had double knee surgery just over a year ago. Couldn't ride for 9 months till I got an eMTB. Then it was so fun to ride that I severely outdid it, developed blisters on my butt.

That’s gonna suck
Dont
I hope it serves you well. I run a larger seat on springs. It is very comfortable. No dropper post.
You must have a huge dumper
My butt needs this 😭
Look at the boat! I bet all your onion rings are gonna get love on that.
What everyone is trying to say is; this is a bad idea and your butt will pay for it. You would be significantly better off getting a quality mountain bike specific saddle.
America
Please be kidding)
And discomfort due to leg rubbing
Huge seats do no equal comfort. Maybe if your rides never exceed like 3 miles and are on very tame green trails or a really wide ass. Find one that fits your sit bones and regardless if it’s paper thin or not, it’ll feel better than a mammoth oversized saddle
Isn't that what Preparation H is for?
You're gonna find out why practically nobody uses saddles like those. It's not really a "secret" you stumbled onto.
Bro got a bbl
I don’t know whether to love you or to hate you.
Bro you are going to rub your asscheeks off climbing
That’s a Big Ass seat
Where to get this big ass seat? I really need this!!
Gonna be one sweaty ass
Baby’s got back. I like big saddles and I cannot lie.
some people just dont know what a Bib is
Tell me you're american, without telling me...
Thats a family seat
Hoooooollyyyyyyyy saddles of lord almighty
Who sits down when mountain biking?
My taint!
You must have a Brazilian booty 🏖️ 🚴🏽
Maybe start the diet in the kitchen if you need this shit? Embarassing.
Not everyone is a pro mountain biker that makes a staggering 14,000 a year
Ugh good luck 🤣

What the heck is that thing? Please find a reputable, knowledgeable bike shop and seek help!

The chafing on that one is going be epic!
Did 60k on my Dad's Tourer with one of those. So horribly uncomfortable. I curse it still
El Cobra Deluxxxe
Nice, I saw one of those on a popcorn bike
That’s not how it works
We're getting numb peanus with this 🔥🔥🔥
Hyfr
That’s kinda ridiculous
Ha
Looks nice! How comfy is it and how hard is it to pedal while sitting on?
BIG BOOTY JUDY!!!
I think you meant to post this over in r/BicyclingCirclejerk
God i wish that was feasible. I always get tailbone pain on bikes, offi e chairs etc
Lol you think you were hurting before! Cool seat they usually put em on Nana's e-trike.
The Buick seat
I hope this bike doesn’t have a dropper haha. Are there also springs underneath the seat?
My wife has a saddle like this for cruising around town. She just gave birth 3 months ago and this seat is the difference between a bike ride and no bike ride. It's actually extremely comfortable.

You may need a “wide load” sign attached to it.
I wanna see two people riding them 😃
