Positives and Negatives
While some cyclists who prefer extremely firm saddles may find the Origin8 saddle to feel a tad too soft, most would agree that it feels just right.

In addition to the innovative composition, the saddle is also specifically engineered to provide superior ergonomic support while also making pedaling a breeze, with no interference.
Another incredible feature is the saddle’s durability. Designed to endure countless miles of riding, you can count on it to withstand the test of time, inside and out. The Origin8 Classic Lite saddle is easy to install and features a beautiful, bold look with a black seat trimmed with classic brass rivets.
