Short distance (60 km or less test)
1. Power Comp 168 mm
- Mild sciatic pain for 60 km
- Wear and tear 100 km
- Perineal pain X
2. Romin Evo 168 mm
- Sciatic pain came right away
- Wear and tear 20 km
- Perineal pain X
3. Power 155 mm
- Worse than 168 mm
4. Power Evo 168 mm 155 mm
- Perineal pressure so removed immediately
> Looking for a lower size, need one with a perineal cutout.
5. Selle Italia Novus TM Superflow
- Perineal pressure X
- Went about 2 km at low speed (low power) and saddle pain occurred
- More comfortable for performance, saddle width 145 mm
- Feels like it hugs the buttocks more
- Long distance test needed
> 145 mm suitable, additional padding needed
6. Power Comp 143
- Reason why I was able to ride Power Comp 168 mm size for 2 years.
Better than expected match
> My saddle size is 143~145
7. Prologo Scratch M5 PAS
- Removed immediately after 2 pedal strokes
Sciatic pain came right away. Inner sciatic pain, so sciatic width
About 105 mm should be good.
> 140 mm is too small for my buttocks.
8. Prologo Dimension T'Rox
- Sciatic support, good pedaling, additional padding needed
Feels more like the buttocks are fixed than Power Comp
> Conclusion so far: Padding needs to be plush (Essax level 2 or higher)
9. RYET 3d saddle (Shimano)
- Inner thigh caught
- Saddle nose is thick
> Need to find a saddle with a thin nose.
10. Prologo Dimension T'Rox ndr
Firm
Scheduled (after April 2027)
Fizik Tempo Argo R5
Power Expert Mirror 155
- Specialized Mirror padding doesn't fit the buttocks
Power Arc 155
- Not bad
Long distance test
1. Prologo Dimension T'Rox ndr
- Rode for over 60 km and maintained a speed of 29 or less
When weight is shifted towards the buttocks, sciatic nerve pain occurs.
If you can maintain a speed of 30, it would be the best saddle.
Plan to use it for about a month and release it if it doesn't fit.
No wear and tear below that, and it supports the buttocks well.
- Moved the saddle forward by about 4 mm and it was solved.
Thought it was solved but it recurred again at the beginning of the trip
2. Power Comp 143
- Rode a lap around Sobaeksan on 05/02 and got chafing under my buttocks.
If you just apply cream and ride, it's a top-notch saddle.
Knee and back pain can be addressed with fitting.
Planning to test and purchase Dimension T'Rox ndr only.
