FabricScoop Elite Saddle(Return to Product Page)

Definitely one of the best saddles I have tried, and Ive tried a bunch.

This one was ordered for my son. I have one on my bike and he loved it so i bought this one for him.These saddles by far are the most comfortable saddles out there. Depending on your riding style they have a saddle for you. Biketiresdirect.com made the ordering process so simple and shipped in a timely manner

When my Specialized saddle started rubbing me the wrong way last summer I decided to spend some time researching for a replacement for my road bike. The reviews for this saddle are correct. It is a great saddle for longer (4 - 5 hours) rides. It did take a few rides to break it in so to speak. Once I got use to it, I no longer think about it. The price form Bike Tires Direct couldn't be beat.

When I first got on this saddle it immediately disappeared under me. Without a doubt the best shaped saddle out there (at least for me). There is a definite lack of padding however so it gets hard after about 30 minutes. That's my fault, not the saddles. I bought a thin get padded seat made for this type of saddle which should help. Haven't tried it yet. But this saddle is a definite keeper.

I bought this to replace a WTB Speed Progel on my commuteradventure bike, which is an Origin8 CX700 frameset built up with quality components and wheels. It's a Monster Cross bike that can take up to 29x2.1 tires. It sees a lot of road miles for commuting and fitness as well as gravel rides, rails to trails and forest rides. I have 630mm wide30mm high riser bars on it, no drops.

I had the WTB Speed Progel on it for about 1,200 miles this year. It was ok, I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it, either. And sometimes, it really just didn't feel all that comfortable. I have the Speed Comp on my XC bike and I like it better. I thought I'd give the Fabric Scoop Radius a shot after reading about them. I have my bars level with my seat and according to Fabric, the Scoop Radius is for riders who have their bars like this.

I've only got 150 miles on it at this point, but I like it more than the Progel. It's lighter, more supportive and more comfortable. I feel like I'm not wasting as much energy due to the padding compressing when I'm on the gas. It's comfortable with or without a pad as well. I bought the Elite BlackBlack model with hollow Chromoly rails. It's mounted to a ZIPP Service Course alloy seatpost w 20mm setback.

I'd recommend it if you're looking for a comfortable, lightweight saddle that won't break the bank. Be sure to read which saddle profile fits your riding style and body position on the Fabric website.

Best seat IMO out there.. have one on both MTN bikes and one on my road bike.. I've used several different brands and although you can get used to just about any seat this one you forget about it.

As a daily commuter I became frustrated with gel seats braking down every year... This seat was inexpensive and has the feel that it wont break down... surprisingly comfortable to ride...

I've rode Selle SMP's for many years and thought I'd try something new and less expensive. They're nice looking and got a lot of good reviews. Didn't work for me, after three rides I ordered another SMP and happy once again.

Had been using center-cutout saddles for a few years and thought I'd stick with them. I read so many praising reviews of the Scoop I figured I should give it a try, especially being quite a bit cheaper than some previous saddles I've used. After 2,000 miles I can say without hesitation that this is the best saddle I've ever used! Wasn't sold on the first few rides, but that was mainly due to needing adjustment - I purchased the Flat version and my previous saddle was more curved, so I found I needed to nose it down a bit to get comfortable. It's fairly flexible in the middle so it felt better to keep the nose down somewhat (we're talking millimeters) but the flex means that it can be quite comfortable without a lot of padding which can sometimes get in the way and cause other issues. I kept reading about how nice the top material felt and thought how much difference am I going to be able to tell through padded cycle shorts? But I really can notice the difference! It's smooth without being slippery. I actually had my sit bones measured at a shop to see what width of saddle I should use, and while the Scoop is narrower than I should be using, I can stay in a more aggressive position much longer without discomfort than I could previously with other saddles that supposedly fit me better. Just a great saddle overall, and the variety of colors makes it even better!

This seat looks good on my bike and is comfortable for long rides. I got a lot more than I expected .

I bought the Scoop Flat saddle. Have ridden it daily for about 3 weeks 2 hoursday. I really like it. Support is good. It is firm but not hard. When I ride in my drops it is one of the best saddle I have used in 25 years. I like the simplicity of design in that it looks like it should last a while before breaking down like the Selle Italia saddles I have had. The price is right so I decided to buy it untested, usually a recipe for failure. Buena Suerte!

I am running the flat version of the Fabric Scoop Elite on both of my mountain bike and it is the perfect saddle for me. My previous go to saddle was the Fizik Pave (discontinued) but I now prefer the Scoop.

This saddle is comfortable and has a good fit. It's a little heavy, but not too much.

I like the simple design of this saddle. I've done a few 30 mile rides and had no issues with comfort or numbness. The black saddle with red underneath looks fantastic on my Boardman SLR 9.8, too.

Just the right amount of padding. The material is smooth and not too tacky to allow you to move around without pulling on your shorts. Instantly comfortable on the first ride. Recommended!

I bought one to try on my trainer and bought the second for my main road bike. Love it!

I thought I would try a Fabric saddle especially at the price and I have been quite satisfied! I currently use it on my trainer bike and love it!

I like this saddle so much I bought a second one for my second bike, even though it didn't need a new seat!

What a saddle! If you like classy looking saddles that feel great then the fabric scoop is for you. Wide enough to accomodate ample American asses and just plush enough to keep you comfy over long rides. What else could you ask for?

Great value, arrived quickly. Fantastic Service.
