Charge Spoon Cromo Rail Cycling Saddle

The saddles I currently own are Brooks B17, Selle Italia octavia, San Marco Rolls and the Charge Spoon Ti-Leather. The Ti-Leather variant I have on my road bike. My cyclocross saddle ( a WTB on a Kona Jake ) had come to the end of its life with the centre section disintegrating underneath the saddle so it was now uncomfortable. I decided having ridden thousands of miles on the Ti-Leather Spoon to purchase the cromo variant for the cross bike. I have absolutely no regrets, the saddle is simply excellent though we're all anatomically different. I think there must be something special about this saddle though as there really are thousands of positive reviews for it and at £20'ish pounds its worth trying out as opposed to the £100+ saddles. I'd say its very close if not comparable to my brooks b17 and half the weight. One aspect that can be little troublesome is the finish which is a grippy suede effect, its really nice I like it but it does "grab" your bike shorts a bit but the positive being you don't slide around, its a nice feeling. A minor gripe and I wouldn't mark it down as there are other versions you can buy with different finish, not a showstopper by any means. I do like this "suede effect" it feels much higher quality than its price would lead you to believe, early days on longevity( only ridden about 500mls since bought ) but my Ti-Leather is still going strong after about 6yrs, hope this follows suit. The saddle is made by Velo who supply many companies ( madison etc ) but for now I've stuck with Charge and very happy with the product. I say give it a try as you can afford the risk of not liking it..... but I'd wager that nearly all who do will be impressed. Any future bike builds I do will have one of these on the parts list, comfortable, relatively light and fantastic value for money.

I bought this saddle to replace a large soft saddle that came pre-installed on my new E-bike which was causing me no end of pain to my backside.After using the Charge Spoon saddle for the last week, I'm pleased to say all my bottom problems are now resolved.Quite simply, this is the most comfortable saddle I've ever sat on and the price is very good too as is the fact it looks really smart on my bike.Highly recommended!Update!After using the saddle for almost 3 months I have to say I absolutely love it. It's just so comfortable and durable. It looks just as good now as it did when it arrived.

This saddle is such a massive improvement on the standard one that came fitted to my Trek Rail. Much better comfort and it even looks better and for a very reasonable price.

Love these Spoons , have been using for past 8 years and been brilliant. Comfy on long trails for a nice light saddle. They look great also - must be the best value saddle ever ! Only marked down durability- 2 years of riding seems to be limit but not bad be any stretch.Highly recommended

Ive always used the charge spoon saddle on all my bikes for many years and find them very comfortable. However, having recently bought a new bike that came with a nice Nukeproof saddle on it, I thought id not bother changing it and see how i get on with the Nukeproof. A couple of short rides (10 miles or so) and it seemed a bit uncomfortable. However, having done 30 miles on the Nukeproof saddle last week, my undercarriage felt like someone had been at it with a blow torch and i was walking like John Wayne.Charge Spoon & Amazon Prime to the rescue! Im now ready for this weekends ride and it already seems a lot more comfortable. Having the saddles side by side highlights just how much wider the Spoon saddle is around the sit bones. You actually perch on your bottom rather than your gooch.

Replaced the saddle on a 2nd hand bike I've bought last month with one of these.It was one of those bikehut gel saddles with the springs in them. They were simply too large and they were in the way while pedaling.Replacing it with the spoon was very simple. I had no idea how heavy my previous saddle was.. When I took it off I couldn't believe the difference in weight! The spoon is much less padded, but I'm still getting used to it, it's my second day using them while commuting. I can pedal much harder than before, my legs are free and I can ride faster and control my bike a bit better.As for the comfort, time will tell! I think after a week or two I'll get used to having a smaller, more "sport" designed saddle.Very impressive upgrade for this price point, I can recommend it if you are looking for a reasonable saddle replacement.

Update! So after 20/30 miles or so, on each of the Spoon & volt, i am no nearer deciding which is the more comfortable. I have to say at this point, its boiling down to simply how the saddle looks & IMO, the charge spoon just looks nicer on my bike. Result, both saddles get an upgrade to 5* for comfort.I am currently evaluating the Charge Spoon against the WTB Volt Race saddle, in order to get the best ride experience. Both saddles seem comfy but this one is definitely much firmer.Only 4 stars at the moment as still evaluating, but my thoughts are below...- Very firm, but good supportive shape- Slightly longer than the Volt- Less sticky that the Volt, so moving around seems easier- Nicer styling than the Volt with nice stitching (looks expensive)A longer ride on each saddle is needed to come to a more thorough conclusion. Update to follow..

For me, these Charge MTB seats are unbeatable quality, comfort and value. I highly recommend this seat - although of course seats are very much a personal preference.This seat is the right balance of size, comfort, shape and form, and durability. Can't beat it.

I already have the brown charge spoon saddle. I was hoping this would be equally as comfortable, but instead it seems hard for me and my sitting bones. The brown one was comfy to me without any break-in period and also looks good. Get the brown one.

Very comfortable and looks beautiful. More comfortable than my other saddles that cost more than three times the price, even on chunky gravel. I like it so much I ordered a second one for my road bike.

The Spoon is a perfect fit for me. It just works, and most of the time when I'm riding I don't even have to think about it. I had one in brown on my old bike, and I liked it so much I bought the camo version for my much fancier new bike.

Bought this for my daily commuter. I was worried when it came as it has a fabric-like finish but It has shown very little signs of wear with months of daily riding. The colours are great and vibrant. It is a conversation starter and truly a standout in the world of boring black saddles.

Arrived early from seller..New & perfect condition..stiching is perfect..light weight..looks great...super inexpensive esp compaired to most other "quality saddles".....................
