Ryder Force Saddle

[Grease_Monkey]

So far mine is holding up very nicely. I actually prefer it to the Spaz options because of width. I've had Power saddles in 143mm (too narrow), and in 155mm (too wide) - so the Ryder option at 148mm is just right.

i was going to buy one but twisted it in the shop and it seems very flexy / bendable ...makes me worry about long rides

I see Cycles United Online are selling for R499. Anyone know of a cheaper price online.

 

Edit: Bike Addict have it for R295.

I've got one on my enduro bike. I'm struggling to get used to it - supposed to prevent tjommie pressure, but my sit bones are feeling it!

I've got one on my Trail bike. I have a Selle San Marco Shortfit on my roadie but couldn't justify the cost of one for my trail bike.

 

Really happy with it.

I have the exact same experience. After a couple hours it starts to border on the uncomfortable but I still think it's a decent saddle when considering the asking price

exactly why i am on the fence to buy one....in my experience when a saddle is to soft or flexy you pay the price after a few hours riding...just my 2c worth

Sportsmans Warehouse in PE have one called a Concept, also about R400.

Did you test the real Spez Power though?

I had the Power Saddle Expert / S-Works Power Carbon Saddle and it feels the same as the Force Saddle I'm currently have on new bike...... NO DIFFERENCE!!!!

 

Did 100 miler earlier this year and no issues

It'a the same thing - Ryder supplies Sportamans under their own brand.

They are comfy but more flexible than my Spez Power which cost R1400, Spez replaced mine with a new one when it developed a creak.

Hi bullet77. Purchased a new Spez Power about a year ago from a Specialized concept store in Cape Town, when I had a bike set up done. It has now started to make a creaking sound, which is driving me nuts. I trust that there was no problem getting it replaced
