Reviews over the

Selle Royal Respiro Soft Moderate

I had a standard saddle on my new bike, but already after a few kilometres I had saddle pain. I actually immediately ordered and installed this saddle and now have no more trouble at all!

Pros & Cons

Nicely designed saddle that matches my bike. Fortunately, with this saddle, I no longer suffer from saddle sores or numbness in my private parts. I do hope this time it will last longer than the previous one (just under 1.5 years).

Pros & Cons

Super comfort

I bought this saddle again after my old saddle disintegrated after many years of riding

Saddle not suitable for city bike. Removed saddle after 3 days due to painful sit bones. Got new saddle at local bike shop. Unfortunately, I had discarded the packaging so I could not return the product.

Pros & Cons

Quickly arranged

Pros & Cons

Only made a few rides with this saddle. So far, I like it. It is comfortable; neither too soft nor too hard. It is also beautifully finished. But for that price, it should be. The saddle is not really cheap. Hopefully I will enjoy it for a few years.

Pros & Cons

Fine saddle. It stays reasonably cool. Need to get used to the hardness, but it's already improving.

Pros & Cons

Bought this saddle after all the reviews. I always had severe saddle pain after 20 km of cycling and with long bike rides this was really annoying. Because I was allowed to try the saddle for 30 days, I took the gamble. Last week I cycled 30 km and hardly any saddle pain. So highly recommended, I'm quite upright on my bike!

Pros & Cons

I don't regret this purchase at all, very good and beautiful saddle, ideal for mountain biking and mountain bikes, although I only ride for leisure.

It's a big change from a traditional saddle: more comfortable, supple, with good support and much less compression in the perineal area. This saddle makes you want to practise more.

It's the most comfortable saddle I've ever had. I didn't realise that my previous saddle was uncomfortable until I started riding with it. It was easy to fit, even for inexperienced riders like me. Of course, not as quick as in the accompanying YouTube video, but that's normal. I bought the saddle because the old one unfortunately ruined too many pairs of trousers, so I'm hoping that the smooth finish will at least make it last longer. I feel a little less sweaty in the crotch than with the old saddle. The first rain tests were also good, the rain rolls off well and can be wiped off quite easily without an extra towel, but not completely, of course.

Great price for a great saddle

Easy to assemble and adjust.

Pros & Cons

Rather disappointing

We both ride the Respiro saddle, my husband for men, and I ride the side saddle. Now 6 years and 15,00 kilometres have passed, and now the top has gone. It was a good purchase, and it prevents pain at the PO, also thanks to its special construction. We will always buy it again if necessary. Mine has now travelled 17,500 km and is still in perfect condition. Thank you for such a hard-wearing product. Kerstin Popall

I wanted a saddle a city bike, resistant to rain. While the silicone pads were not soaking wet after rain, they still deformed and became hard to ride. The plastic attachment was also to weak and broke after less than a year. Not worth the money.

Pros & Cons

Used to road bike saddles, so any other kind of saddle feels strange. But for commuting, I think this is ok for half an hour of cycling.

Pros & Cons

Had expected more quality with this saddle. this one unfortunately leaked after little use after about a year. It sat well though.

Pros & Cons

It takes a little getting used to having only 2 cushions at the seat bones, but then you experience less pressure in the middle and therefore no complaints but as pressure on the perineum, no more tingling or sleeping private parts and a drier buttocks.

Pros & Cons

Highly recommended for men with prostate complaints

Pros & Cons

Saddle replaced to this one and I like it fine.

Pros & Cons

After a year of enthusiastic cycling on my "factory" cube, I did decide to look for a more comfortable saddle that will pass less of the road and spring more on longer distances. I factored the reviews of the Selle Royal saddle into my decision and to this day have not regretted my purchase.

Pros & Cons

Read several reviews before purchase and it's true. No more "sagging" on longer bike rides with this saddle.

Pros & Cons

Very satisfied. Age 59. Cycling as a hobby. Saddle mounted on mountain bike. Outings of 2 to 3 hours, 4 times a week. 700 kms ridden since fitting and no more pain in the seat, which is what I'm aiming for with this type of saddle.

Pros & Cons

A saddle

I have been using this saddle for several years now for long tours, both on trekking bike and gravel bike. Perfect saddle for me.

Pros & Cons

I was suffering very much from saddle pain on my new batavus tuesday 2022. After mounting this saddle that was immediately remedied. I immediately cycled 40 kilometers the first day and no pain at all.

Pros & Cons

Meets expectations exactly

Pros & Cons

My previous Selle Royal saddle was good, but the support bars were broken. I therefore bought this similar saddle. I have used it for about 2 weeks now, on several rides of 2 hours or more. On the first few rides, I had to adjust the position a bit, but now it sits just fine and I am quite satisfied. I expect it to be comfortable on longer rides as well. The only downside is that I notice that the name "Respiro" on the side has come off by now, but of course that has no effect on functionality and comfort!

Pros & Cons

I bike daily for over an hour commuting. With the original saddle I always suffered from pinching and tingling. With this saddle that is completely gone. Exactly what I was hoping for when I bought it. Because the seat area is smaller, there is increased pressure where you make contact with the saddle. I had to get used to that for about 2 weeks. Now I am completely comfortable. This saddle is really a recommendation, I am very happy with it.

Pros & Cons

Dit is het enige zadel waarop ik zonder enige zadelpijn langere ritten kan doen. Bijzonder comfortabel.

Pros & Cons

Very fast delivery.

Very nice saddle which is very easy to adjust. Also received a gift (in/on the box) from Mantel. No minuses, only pluses. Use this saddle for "regular bike" application on fitness bike. When I go out on the bike for longer trips I use narrower leather saddle with sea pants. But this saddle in combo with jeans is very doable. Ingenious also how front is "open" and gives cooling under the saddle. Delivered very quickly too.

Pros & Cons

I had the same saddle before, however, one of the mounting supports broke (after several years). Was going to list it as a downside, but for the sake of absolute ease of use ordered the same saddle...and the support is a different, sturdier (hopefully;) material!

Pros & Cons

Bought the saddle because I had saddle pain after 20km of cycling. I still notice that but to a lesser extent. So on average satisfied.

Pros & Cons

Ideal!!!

Pros & Cons

Sits well, no irritations or complaints, still a little sore butt after 20 km. But season has only just begun, I need to grow some seat meat again.

Pros & Cons

product characteristic is good, I already had experience with this product and liked it well,therefore I wauw to have the same one again.

This is a top saddle. Not too soft, but still super comfortable. For a somewhat practiced cyclist, this one is perfect.
