Sunlite Cloud-9 Bicycle Suspension Cruiser Saddle, Cruiser Gel, Tri-color Black

I purchased a HYPER 29" Explorer MTB bicycle. The small seat that was on it, as I call those types of bicycle seats, Wedge-e Seats (aka; Banana seats), was NOT the seat that I was going to sit on mile after mile! I am 55 years of age, 6'6" and about 200 pounds with NO padding on my backside that sits on the seat! I am just a casual rider. I do not ride on the trails, yet ride my bicycle to school (the University). Therefore, it is 99+% used on the pavement, not on trail riding. It is the Answer for everyone who does not want, or cannot ride on a Wedge-e seat (aka: banana seat)! It is Much Better than the Schwinn or Bell saddle seats, it is comfortable, it is padded, yet not soft nor hard. You just can't go wrong with this seat by Sunlite, the Cloud-9 Bicycle Suspension Cruiser Saddle seat. Amazon got it here in a very short period of time, and am very happy with Amazon's responsibility to get the products to the customers very fast and as described by Amazon's website! The seat arrived with the necessary attachments, so that it would attach the Cloud-9 to the metal (aluminum) rod, that any bicycle seat attaches to. I could have used the attachment(s) that my bicycle had with the seat that it had on it, yet the Sunlite Cloud-9 Saddle seat already has those attachments, so NO need to worry about the metal attachments for the seat attaching to the metal rod (post) of the bicycle! It took me a few tries before I got the seat in the correct (flat) position, so that it would not flatten out the Family Jewels! Because it took a few tries, I noticed the Sunlit Cloud-9 seat can be adjusted forward or backward according to notches. Therefore, you do not have to try to hold the seat in a perfect position when tightening down the seat to the metal rod (post) of the bicycle. I have not left it out in pouring rain, yet looking at the design and the material, it looks very waterproof, not just water resistant. The Cloud-9, I found out, is one of the widest seats available on the market. It looks GREAT on my bicycle! If you do not have a lot of padding on your rear or you just don't like the feel of a Wedge-e seat (banana seat), then this is where your money is best spent, on the Cloud-9 saddle seat! It will make your rear end feel much better after many miles per week or per day versus the smaller more narrow seats! The dimensions after the Cloud-9 was attached are: Width: about 11" Length (front to back): about 10" Height from the Post: about 5.75" ( I have my seat down as far as possible, that prevents my backside being up in in air versus the handle bars) The Height of the seat itself, that is, the padding portion is about 2.25" GREAT for those who are looking for a wider seat with more cushion for their rear end!

Nice and comfy seat

Sunlite Cloud-9 Makes E-Biking a Joy Ride for My Wife (and My Backside)! My wife and I recently got into e-biking, and we were both excited to hit the trails. However, after a few rides, my wife started complaining about the standard bike seat being a bit tough on her (let's just say, 10-15 miles after years off a bike can be a real shock to the system!). So, I decided to surprise her with a Sunlite Cloud-9 Bicycle Suspension Cruiser Saddle for her e-bike, and let me tell you, it was a home run! In fact, I ended up getting one for myself too! Here's why we love the Sunlite Cloud-9: Plush Comfort: This saddle is like a cloud compared to the standard seat! The dual-density gel foam padding and coil spring suspension make a world of difference. We can now enjoy our rides for miles without any discomfort. Perfect for E-Bikes: The Cloud-9 is wide and supportive, which is great for a more upright riding position like you have on an e-bike. Easy Installation: Swapping out the old seat for the Cloud-9 was a breeze. It took me less than 15 minutes with some basic tools. Overall, the Sunlite Cloud-9 is a fantastic upgrade for any e-bike rider, especially for those of us who aren't spring chickens anymore! It's comfortable, supportive, and easy to install. Now we can both enjoy our e-bike adventures pain-free. Some things to consider: The Cloud-9 is a larger saddle than some stock bike seats. Make sure you're comfortable with the size and style before you buy. A few reviewers mentioned the springs creaking a little at first. We haven't had this issue, but if it does occur, it seems some lubricant can fix the problem. These are minor points though, and overall, we're thrilled with the Sunlite Cloud-9! It's a great investment in comfort and makes e-biking even more enjoyable.

I have a Ride 1 up Core 5 E-bike and have tried a number of seats. The Cloud Nine offers the best cush for my tush. Works really well in warmer weather. My E-Bike is kept in my garage and it's cold in there so the cushion is a little harder but still good. I have not found a better seat yet.

I'm 19 and just learned how to ride a bike last summer. I found an EXCELLENT conditioned bike at a yard sale for 10 dollars. Only problem was that the seat was so uncomfortable that it left me SO painfully sore for FOUR days after riding only TWO miles on it. I ordered this seat after looking at the reviews. I kept hearing that Cloud-9 was a very nice quality comfort seat. Along with that, I was told that bike seats would range from 20-80 dollars. This hit the price point and quality standard that I was looking for. Looking at the reviews, I saw that older heavier men thought this seat was very comfortable, so I figured I would have no issue at all with my weight holding or affecting the shocks. I have a big butt and I wanted to make sure I wasn't hanging off of the seat. I figured TEN AND A HALF INCHES was GREAT. There are almost no 1/2 star reviews, and even those reviews were mostly buyer mistakes. Though there is a cheaper good quality bike seat on Amazon, I figured a few more dollars and piece of mind was worth it. The other seat had a lot of "the seat was hard" and a much bigger amount of 1/2 star reviews. When I buy something online, I don't want to have to worry about IF it'll be good for me. I want to be CONFIDENT that it will be perfect for me. Though I did almost get the other seat, I'm glad I bought this one! I don't know squat about bikes, but I just took my old seat off the pole and tightened this one on. Done. Took about 5 minutes if even. I did notice that I had to tighten it REALLY well because if not, the seat will tilt forward/backward if you lean too much while riding. The shocks are great and when I hit dips or bumps on the street, it actually feels kind of fun because I know I won't be potentially killing my future children or leaving myself with no-no zone bruises. This is EXACTLY what I thought a great bike seat would be like. It's absolutely perfect and the material makes it feel really expensive and nice. My best investment of the year!!!

My husband wanted this seat based on his reasearch about his new electric bike… and he has never looked back!!

Easy to install, went on test ride, no more pain. Comfortable.

I only tried this Cloud-9 saddle for one short bike ride and I honestly didn't like it. So I returned it to Amazon (thank you Amazon for being able to return items). The Cloud-9 saddle looks soft and plush but for me it was very uncomfortable. The metal coil springs did not compress when I went over bumps. I think this seat is made for heavier riders think 200lbs and up. I am 188lbs and I couldn't compress the springs at all. It also looks rather large and bulky because well it is. I ended up buying a West Biking Retro style saddle. It is very comfortable, looks good and the coil springs actually work.
