A jewel!

Yes, perfectly

Good for professionals; less suitable for day-trippers.

- Thijs, 22 August, 2021

It is a firm and light saddle, however, the seat comfort lets up over long distances. For a cyclist (with pads around the groin), this problem will be less prominent, but for the layman, it is pretty obvious.

Quality comfortable saddle

- Jens, 23 July, 2021

I already have the Pro Griffon on one bike but wanted to try the Turnix as it is designed for people with more flexibility. It is slightly less supportive but I find it good when switching between the drops and top of the handlebars. It also seems to hold me more in place so I don't slide around as much. Haven't tried the accessories yet but that is a nice option.

Big improvement on previous saddle

- Ashley, 22 July, 2021

With anatomic cut out to improve long ride comfort. Shaped to match sitting position but which makes setting it level slightly more difficult than just balancing a spirit level and tightening bolts. In effect you have to have to set it with the ‘nose down’ for actually a level setting

Pros & Cons

Comfortable
Light weight
Matching colour
Awkward to level
Carbon rails demand care

5 / 5

Great balance between sportiness and comfort!

- Timothy Keith, 20 July, 2021

A lot less saddle pain, I think due to the heftier contour and narrower shape. Saddle seems hard but is just right - highly recommended!

Tight saddle for the avid cyclist with sufficient comfort

- 123test, 19 July, 2021

It is a light saddle. Thanks to supplied size chart, it is easy to fit. It is hard but with sufficient comfort. Even after a ride of over 7 hours, my seat did not bother me.

Pros & Cons

Easy assembly
Good price/quality ratio
Hard yet soft
Quite long

comfortable, slim saddle.

- Daniel, 19 July, 2021

Saddle with a fine stiff carbon saddle deck. Despite the stiff deck, the saddle is very comfortable. The slightly curved shape makes it easy for me to sit in an aerodynamic position. The recess ensures that even after long rides I have much less trouble with sleeping noble parts. The slim appearance and nice materials make it a sleek saddle for the road bike.

Ideal for the discerning sports cyclist watching weight.

- Joris, 18 July, 2021

It is a clear sporty saddle suitable for MTB and road bikes. Installation is as you would expect from a saddle, with brief but clear instructions. It should pose no problems for the target audience of this luxury saddle. It looks sleek, no exaggerated colours or shapes, so won't look out of place on any sporty bike. A nice extra is that at the back of the bottom there are two screws. According to the icon, you can screw a GoPro/camera mount to it, but you can also mount a mudguard etc. I placed the saddle on a Brompton folding bike because it has a small profile and a very low weight (half compared to my normal saddle). I like to sit 'sportily' (forward) and this saddle is fine for that, also for actively manoeuvring through town and bumpy terrain. It is a hard and thin saddle but I am surprised by how comfortable it is, even on somewhat longer tours. I haven't tried it for more than half an hour at a time.

lightweight (208 gr)

Very nice saddle

- SSB1, 14 July, 2021

I have been looking for a new saddle since 2010 and it has taken me 11 years to find one. Tried a lot, but always failed so far. I'm even considering buying an extra one as a spare so I don't have to spend another 11 years looking for a new saddle! Really very conformable, on the bike within minutes and even got through the first ride of the year of over 4h painlessly. As any experienced cyclist will tell you, saddles are very personal and what works for one person may not work for another. However, I think this saddle is an excellent choice and should be an improvement for most riders.

Top saddle so far

- Rob, 13 July, 2021

First impression was that the saddle felt a bit hard compared to my original MTB saddle. After the first few kilometres of cycling, I noticed that this does not have to be a disadvantage. With the original saddle, I often got sore buttocks after 30 km anyway, not this time! Even did an extra 10 km and 0 bother.

Hardly any saddle sores even after the first ride

Comfortable saddle for average bikes

- Olivier Roelandt, 1 July, 2021

Sincerely surprised by this comfortable and light saddle. Also handy with the measuring tool to fit the saddle in exactly the right place. Not only does it look nice, it also sits well. Not too hard, not too soft. Ideal for the average and novice cyclist. Price-quality is therefore the ideal saddle. Would recommend it to anyone!

Comfortable bike saddle for every cyclist

- Almar, 30 June, 2021

Installation Installation was pretty straightforward. Even for someone who is not quite at home bike mounting, this was easy to do. The saddle has a standard system that you can attach to the saddle pin. Every other saddle has the same attachment so it was a piece of cake. Design Design is secretly just as important with a bike saddle as what it is meant to do. After all, a sleek bike requires a sleek saddle. The lines are clean and design is narrow with the notch on the inside for extra seating comfort. Quality Quality is good. Material looks good. Fine ratio in terms of gel, weight, size, etc. But that is also to be expected from a saddle. I don't dare say what the quality of the saddle will be like after x-number of cycles. Weight It is a light saddle. Which makes it fit nicely even for the absolute pro with full carbon bike. Ease of use A saddle does what it should do, of course. It should sit easily and provide good comfort. The length of the saddle is perfect as is the notch in the middle of the saddle. It makes for less dormant noble parts. Sitting position A saddle does what it should do, of course. It should sit easily and provide good comfort. The length of the saddle is perfect as is the notch in the middle of the saddle. It makes for less dormant noble parts. Material Material looks good. Fine ratio in terms of gel, weight, size, etc. But that is also to be expected from a saddle. I don't dare say what the quality of the saddle will be after riding it x-number of times. Expectation vs Experience I expected the saddle to be more comfortable than my current one. And in particular, less trouble with sleeping noble parts. That expectation makes it more than worth it. Because the saddle is slightly shorter and gives space in the middle of the saddle, it brings a lot of comfort. So it cycles fantastically!

Excellent replacement for standard saddle for less saddle sore

- Jimmy, 29 June, 2021

I was looking for a replacement saddle for my road bike. The other saddle, despite the right size, was giving problems with the seat. Through other reviews, I ended up with this saddle. After several short and several long rides, I came to the conclusion that this is a very nice saddle. Especially nice is the easy installation using the enclosed piece of cardboard for measuring the distance from the saddle to the handlebars. What was first for me is the, in my opinion, slightly shorter tip at the front of the saddle and the slot in the middle. As a result, I seem to have less pressure on the soft tissues which means longer rides of around 5 hours still feel comfortable too. The soft padding, the look and the curved back of the saddle also make it enjoyable for me on the bike again. So highly recommended.

Price-quality good product!

- Laurens, 25 June, 2021

Very good saddle. With my previous saddle, I kept getting sore behinds on rides longer than 40 km. With this saddle I haven't experienced any problems. It is enormously light, easy to install, comfortable,... Thanks to the open centre, there is also good ventilation.

nice saddle

- Hans, 25 June, 2021

The saddle was very easy to fit on my bike. It looks really nice, nicer than my current saddle. In terms of comfort, it's fine, but not better than my current saddle, I expected a bit more. I am a moderate cyclist and find saddle comfort very important, I cycle mainly for pleasure. This saddle is sufficient for that, but I still get saddle sore.

Great upgrade from standard saddle

- Nii, 24 June, 2021

I recently got the chance to test this saddle. The saddle comes with a handy tool to easily adjust it to the same distance as your old saddle. The scale indicated a weight of 209gr. Tighten the bolts and off you go ! The saddle cycles comfortably. Slightly harder than a standard saddle but never painful. The recess remarkably provides better ventilation. However, the recess is insufficiently large for people who suffer from numbness in the noble areas. In summary, the saddle is definitely an upgrade from a standard saddle. It is comfortable, looks nice and is nice and light.

Good-looking and above all comfortable saddle

- Martine, 23 June, 2021

This is my first saddle opening in the middle and have now cycled 300 km with it and I like it. The 300 km included 2 long trips of just over 100 km and have not had any trouble with my buttocks. I think it has a nice look and fits my bike well

Nice saddle but too hard for me

- Christine, 22 June, 2021

I was very curious to see how I would like the Pro Turnix Team Flow Carbon saddle. To mount the saddle on the bike was a bit of a puzzle because the description is in English and not in Dutch. Afterwards, it was simple and quickly done. I then started cycling large stretches. As I always get saddle sores, I was curious to see whether this one would suit me better as it is a narrow saddle, but unfortunately it is not a good saddle for me as I also get saddle sores with this one. I think this saddle is more suitable for people who have a sports bike and not recreational cyclists like me. The saddle is too narrow and too hard for me.

Lightweight
Quick to mount

Solid light and compact medium hard saddle

- Vince, 19 June, 2021

Good solid saddle which is easy to install. Very light and quite hard. With a kind of fairing for a better sitting position ( for aggressive riders). Looks good, also possibility to install tr other way but I could not do that on my bike.

The Pro Turnix is made to make your life easier!

- Laurent, 19 June, 2021

The Pro Turnix has been on my bike for several days now and it has been a great experience so far! It starts immediately with the ease of use during fitting which is very smooth. Furthermore, the saddle also just looks super sleek on my road bike, let's be honest that this also matters these days. The seating comfort is insane, I always have some trepidation when adjusting material on my bike but I can say with all certainty that it only adds positively to my performance on the bike. Especially on the long rides, I notice that it really adds to your endurance and comfort. The material is of course also of the best quality and the carbon that is incorporated in the saddle makes it very light to use. So are you still looking for a new performance-enhancing partner-in-crime? Don't hesitate and go for this saddle!

Solid saddle of nice quality

- Zadeltester, 19 June, 2021

I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to test the PRO Turnix Performance Saddle. How lucky? Until this saddle, I have tried many a saddle. On different bikes (now the Riese & Müller Roadster Urban), different saddle suspensions (now Creek Thudbuster), cycling shorts etc etc. So yes happily, with another opportunity to find the real thing. The PRO Turnix Performance exudes solidity and quality at the sight of it. Very lightweight and a beautiful hard "shell", with a subtly soft finish. Not too soft for sure but just comfortable enough. Fitting the saddle is easy for any average cyclist. Make sure the saddle is horizontal, well positioned in relation to the cranks and handlebars, so you don't sit too far forward or back, and of course the right height. There are plenty of descriptions on the internet to find the right position. Tighten the bolts and off you go. The first experience is downright positive. Enthusiastic, I almost dare not believe it, but has this saddle become the real deal? To be honest, I haven't ridden enough km yet. Over the next few days, we will be in Zeeland and making the necessary trips. We have already selected a number of varied routes using the Komoot route planner, including various cycle paths from asphalt to cobblestones, unpaved paths, etc. After that, I will give a final verdict on this saddle. I am very curious, but the omens are definitely positive.
