The most comfortable saddle I've ever owned.
Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2022In recent years I've been relegated to shorter rides as a means to spare my rear from saddle sores and numbness. I've gone through many a saddle in order to find something that works. Brooks, specialized, you name it. This was the final one i've tried. Now, it's not perfect, and I would ask ISM to make the tailbones a tad wider, but overall it's cured me of any numbness. The saddle is also a bit on the long side, so not only is there comfort in the additional blood circulation this saddle provides, but there's comfort in being able to adjust and readjust seat position as you ride.
Now, I didnt take a star away for this because I doubt many would care, but it is an issue to me: I am still struggling to really get comfortable with fast corners on this saddle. I think it has to do with the saddle not having as much contact with your butt and therefore there's a bit more weight on your hands, and that translates to more unwanted input into the handlebars. The comfort more than makes up for this issue tho. And the other issue is that the nose of the saddle is a bit wider than you're used to. You'll get used to it, and you can always adjust your cleats to position your feet a bit wider, but there is a small adjustment there too.One person found this helpfulHelpfulSending feedback…

My “Boys” Love It!!
Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2020Love this saddle! After long rides I was feeling the pain in the undercarriage, and it would hurt the boys every time I got into a tuck, I thought it was just something I had to get use to. Finally after 2 years of waiting to get used to it, I tried this saddle. Wow what a difference, now there is none of that pain! Going into a tuck there is nothing in the front of the saddle to smash against. So NICE!! My “Boys” Love it! Does take some time to get used to as you are using a different part of your underside to sit on, so start off on smaller rides to get used to it before going out and rolling off 50miles. Also you have to set it up further back than you think. The first time I rode it, it was not comfortable at all then I pushed it back about a half inch and made all the difference in the world.

Super Comfortable in Aero Position, a little hard on cold rides
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2021I ride a lot in the aero position and this saddle is the most comfortable I have every used for that. The saddle is a little wide for some (though just fine for me), so if you have a narrow gate or get inner-thigh rubbing you may opt for the narrow version. This saddle is heavy, but I was OK with that to get some comfort. Gel padding is pretty hard until it warms up, which may take 15 min on a cool day, 20 min on a cold day.2 people found this helpfulHelpfulSending feedback…

PL 1.1. The perfect replacement for a ISM adamo breakaway lover
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2025I recently purchased a PL 1.1 from ISM because I have previously owned 3 ISM Adamo Breakaway saddles. After thousands of miles one of them is finally worn out. I was crushed when I learned that model was no longer in production. I began to research and learned that the closest made now was the PL 1.1. That information was accurate and I am thoroughly pleased with my purchase. It’s just like my breakaway except MAYBE a little more cushion (although that may be because it is new).HelpfulSending feedback…

Quality and comfort
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2019My first tri and split-nose saddle. Followed the helpful video advice on setting it up and got it right with very little adjustments. Only took 1-2 rides to get used to it. Maybe a bit heavy but nice padding and otherwise well constructed. (And I'm not worried about not shaving a few grams off my saddle–I'm a strong recreational rider but not a pro, and am OK with sacrificing a few grams for a bit of comfort.)HelpfulSending feedback…

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2018I am not sure but the quality of this product is not like other ism which I bought earlier. Previous ism product was having better finish and packaging. Very disappointed.2 people found this helpfulHelpfulSending feedback…

WILL HART5 out of 5 starsAmazing for REALLY long rides.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 18, 2020This saddle has worked well for me.
It's not the most comfortable saddle to simply sit on, however it remains amazingly consistent and barable over really long rides.
I have done several 100mile+ rides on this now including one 8 hour ride. Unlike my old saddle which started off comfy but began to cause numbness, pain and hot spots on longer rides, this clever saddle somehow avoids those problematic pressure points. It just stays the same.
Of course you can still get fatigue and long rides are never going to be completely comfy unless you build up to it and put some time in to get used to a new saddle.
But I love it and would recomend it if you suffer from numbness and pain on long rides.Sending feedback…
