It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

If you don't want a part of your body to get sore, then that part shouldn't be pushing against something that doesn't move along with it. That's the thinking behind the vabsRider bicycle saddle, the two sides of which pivot in time with your pedaling.

A properly fitted bike saddle should not make you sore during normal use.

A properly fitted bike saddle should not make you sore during normal use.

Most folks who ride a bike ride a crappy soft foam saddle that makes your butt sore after more than 10m of use.

Good saddles cost over $50+, most folks are buying entire bikes that cost about $100-200... on which the saddle costs $5-10.

I doubt this mechanical seat will be cheaper than an entry level , but properly built normal saddle.

And frankly the fit matters the most. Most shops will give your seat a quick review/adjust if you go in and buy anything.

As a person whos 100kg i wouldnt agree

There are many folks at 100kg or more riding comfortably. Having properly fitted equipment is critical.

I recommend stopping by a bike shop, they'll often review your fit for free or very cheap the difference is massive.
