Ascent Bicycle Avis 

My pundendal nerve thanks you! No numbness no pressure. One less thing to think about! The only thing I had to do was raise the saddle about 5 mm to allow for the compression of the memory foam! Thanks Ascent!

So far 70 miles on this saddle and no pain. It is very comfortable with just enough cushion. I’ve tried 4 other cushion saddles and this one is by far the best.

I’m currently cycling across Canada. So 8000km. I’m currently just over 1,500km and I’m very happy with this saddle.

First of all I have ridden on this seat a few times and I do like it, It seems to be made well and I am not as saddle sore now. Another positive was that the customer support from Acscent was good when I reached out.

On the negatives, shipping time was terrible. These saddles are drop shipped from China. From the time I placed the order until I received the saddle, it was almost a month.

When they did arrive there was no documentation or instructions on how to put them on the bicycle. It has the hardware to clamp to a old fashioned seat post, but nothing about how to use with Trek or certain Specialized mounts. After a fashion, I figured it out, but an instruction sheet would have been helpful.

Went from the original bike seat using cushion bike shorts to the Ascent seat. It’s a wow factor what a difference. No more cushion shorts for me.

25 mile ride and no numbness or discomfort as I was experiencing with my previous saddle. Thank you Ascent, for delivering exactly what you promised!!! I’m looking forward to riding more frequently again!

Took almost three weeks to receive after ordering. I requested to return it because it is the same seat I have under a different brand that I purchased a month before on Amazon for $18.99. When you return this it ships to Sweden at a cost of $35….. beware.

I have taken two rides and the new saddle made a huge difference for me. I’m glad I purchased it.

Already wrote a review. I highly recommend this seat.

I broke my pelvis in the 80's it healed with one side lower than the other. Never found a seat that was comfortable, till now!

so far the bike saddle is doing what was advertised, I am 69 yrs old so comfortable riding is a must. this bike saddle delivers for me, my butt is not sore, just more comfortable riding all together. Great company to buy from, great follow up after the purchase, good delivery and a great price.

The fact is that my rides are getting longer! And the Ascent Sport saddle has resulted in me walking away from every ride PAIN-FREE! I’m a believer.

The curious thing is that when I start my rides, the saddle doesn’t feel much different than my previous saddles, but the difference becomes obvious after a few miles and is significant when I dismount! By the way, I wear NON-padded biking shorts, so there’s no disguising how the Ascent feels and performs. Riding is more fun than ever!

I’ve only managed one ride so far and it was fairly comfortable and with more adjustments I’m sure it will improve. Mistakenly ordered 3 ( needed 2)and all 3 saddles were jammed into the same shipping “bag” heavily taped and leaving dents in all 3 saddles…hopefully the foam will repair itself…

The online product description helped me to understand what I was purchasing up front. I knew the cost was not going to change once I made the purchase. It takes confidence in a company to get me to make a purchase and I did make the purchase. The Wider Saddle Seat looked similar to what I already own but as I installed the saddle I could see the difference in the workmanship quality, fit and was happy. But when I started to ride my bike I was extremely happy with the solid feel but the comfort was a night and day difference to the good.

Buyer Beware! This company is NOT legit!

Do a little research and you will learn that they stole the name “Ascent” from a reputable bike company called “Ascent Bikes” (NOT “Bicycles). They promise a “no questions asked” return policy, which is an outright lie, and frankly is part of their scheme. Same with their “no risk return” policy, which is BS as they will try to make you pay for return shipping, which is more than the cost of most products. Their strategy is to sell very low quality products (just read about their bike saddles/seats as an example - the glowing posts are internally produced) promising not only quality products but at absolutely no risk! Then when you try to return they offer price reductions to entice you to drop the return request. A TOTAL SCAM!

Amazing customer service! Saddle is well made and comfortable. I purchased it for a 360 mile ride that I will be doing next month and I am confident it will make the ride SO much better.

Shipping could be better.

The saddle is very comfy to use but I've only used it about 8 times.

I was sent the wrong seat for me. I did not unpack the seat and could see it was too wide for my thin body and weight. I nicely asked to exchange it for the Sport Seat.
Told me I could have a 15% discount on another seat and should return the seat to Sweden. The satisfaction guarantee means nothing. Scam this Senior? Ban this company from selling. I am angry to be treated like this.
All I want is a direct exchange and they must pay for shipping back the seat.

It is more comfy than the original saddle. For the price it’s worth it.

EZ order process, reasonable wait time for the free shipping.
As a guy who has been cycling seriously since 1980, I was able to ride about any saddle without problems- whatever came with the bike. But since my mid50s I’ve been sensitive to pressure and soreness on the sit bones.
I took a leap of faith and ordered 2 sport models. I only have a few shorter test rides-20 miles+/- but it’s been a positive experience. Comfortable on the first ride.
I have two 150 mile trips on the GAP this summer and am anxious to compare how I felt after last years rides.
If you’re unsure, I’d give it a go. If it costs a few bucks to keep me active and cycling, it’s gotta be money well spent.
