mmcnellyThis seat makes all the difference when riding in the aero position. It allows you to get your back flatter and provides your legs the freedom to generate lots of power. I have put about 200 miles on this seat, and although it took me some time to get it adjusted properly and to get accustomed to the unique shape, I wouldn't go back to a conventional seat for this application (time trial). Finally, ISM provides video instruction on their site to help set the seat up properly. This was very useful and helped me to get the seat pretty close, requiring only fine tuning adjustments in the field.

A GuestThis seat is incredible! I had serious numbness issues and soft tissue discomfort from all of the traditional saddle designs. I chose the Road over the Racing model. Although Road is slightly larger and heavier, it has more gel and padding. A small sacrifice in weight to maximize comfort in the aero position. I made up the difference with a kick ass pair of carbon pedals!
I learned a lot about the saddle design and fitting from this review on youtube:

The guys at TT Bike Fit dot com are right on.

A GuestI just did my first event in this saddle after about a week of use. It's just the best saddle I've ever used. I used tri shorts without a pad even with no discomfort.

goodwagonI have used sooo many saddles attempting to find something that would not hurt or make me numb while riding in the aero bars. I have about 300 miles on the saddle and it keeps getting better and better. No numbness! I will admit to being sore the first few rides, but that was because the pressure was now distributed across new and larger areas rather than all on my crotch. I love this saddle and highly recommend it to anyone who rides in aero bars.

nbarkleyThe best seat for an aggressive aero position. Previously used the Cobb Vflow Max which was definitely the most comfortable saddle I've ever used until I tried the Adamo Road and it blew the Max out of the water.

A GuestI am overall very happy with the saddle. I have several hundred miles on it so far, plus many more hours on the trainer. I tend to ride in different positions outdoors vs. indoors, so there is some adjustment to be had. I have had little to NO numbness in my legs, so the saddle works as advertised.
However, it can be a bit of a bother to dial in the comfort. If you tend to move around, as you climb or tuck for a more aero position, you may no longer be in a comfortable position. This is why I think this saddle gets such high marks for time trial and triathlons. Once you're on the bike you don't move much. Endurance rides over varied terrain can be more of challenge to get things set the way you want. This seems to be true for the brand (my friend also has a road model and my wife the century). I plan on keeping this saddle as does everyone I know. I'd rather fiddle with saddle on a ride than lose all feeling in my legs.

A GuestHave had the seat for a few 100 miles now and as advertised no numbness. Took a few rides to get the correct feel of the seat and the website helped a lot with the video. Great seat, would not go back to traditional saddle.

A GuestTried one of these and loved it instantly so I bought one for my other bike. No more numbness, no matter how long I ride!
