Seriously the Aeolus is the best saddle I've owned to date. AND_ I have gone through some of the best suggested. I have brought bontrager's Montrose, Selle SMP, Specialized Power & Power Arch. All of them I still wound up with keloids, saddle sores & rubbed the skin right off on some rides. But this Aeolus I have had ABSOLUTELY NO ISSUES.
ya sure but can it apply to everyone's body type i wonder? or will some folks shape just not be compatible or suitable for this. it's a cool looking saddle. i just started trying it out. really digging the idea behind this design. the really long cut away and shorter length. still making slight adjustments but i think i'm getting pretty close to ideal comfort. it's interesting how much difference small adjustments can make. cheers.
I'd be willing to try this out, especially the Aeolus Elite model, but for the past 4 months I've been riding on the Hilo Comp and after a lot of small adjustements I really like it. The only downside of the Hilo Comp is the weight. 450g of saddle on a Trek Emonda feels wrong. The Aeolus Elite weighs in at 220g (250x145) and it would clearly make a difference when out of the saddle (climbing/sprinting). Are the two saddles similarly built? Both should be for the racier riders, right? I often stay on the drops/clip on bars (atm training for a hilly Ironman). I hope you can help me.
Francesco Rota Hey man. I ride a trek speed concept with the Hilo comp saddle. I’ve never been one to worry about the weight of a saddle or any of that but the Hilo comp kept hurting my taint (part between your ball sack and ass hole). As the Hilo weighs in at 430 something grams vs 170 for the aeolus pro, that’s almost 3/4 of a pound! But I’ve always had soreness down below and i thought that was just a part of riding road bikes. But after riding on this saddle for 35 miles, i felt absolutely no pain at all, NONE! I was absolutely shocked, not only that, my average speed was way above normal for this time of year! Generally, i don’t get this average speed until July or august as winter months is not suitable for riding where i live. But i was absolutely impressed. Only thing i realized though is you need to get new saddle ears for the bracket that holds the rails in p[ace. The Hilo comp has rounded rails at 7x7 rounded shaped. The aeolus pro has an oval shape and is 7x10mm oversized. I literally just installed my saddle a few days ago. So i need to order a 7x10mm from trek. Just something to keep in mind, hope this helps
@@TheKauaiboyz51 dude it does ✌🏼 for now the Hilo Comp does not hurt me, I find it very comfortable. I ride it on an Èmonda ALR 5 and the overall weight is 8kg (can still get way lighter still with alloy wheels and full 105 r7000) and having a saddle that weight almost 0.5kg is kinda bothering me 😂 also did you go for the 145mm width option or the 155mm?
Francesco Rota wow that’s a light bike!! if it works why change right? lol. i definitely noticed a difference in weight especially getting off the saddle and climbing! doesnt feel like u are pulling as much weight on the back end. i did go with the 145mm. i wanted it to be about the same length as the hilo i have. i think this was roughly 10mm longer, maybe a little less? but i really love it. im not gonna ride it again though until i get the oversized ear clamps on the rails. the 7x10’s
@@TheKauaiboyz51 yeah, I'm happy with my bike, I started cycling last November so an alluminium bike with 105 was perfect. I found the Trek Emonda ALR 5 for 700€ used like new in my size (56) and I was in love. Swapped the heavy stock wheels and tyres quite recently and I set an 11-30 cassette on the new Campy Zonda wheelset. I'm in love with the setup. I wish the bike was in purple flip colours instead of grey matte but it's my bike ❤
Lol first of all, specialized wasn't the first brand to make a snub nosed saddle. And secondly, are you saying the first company to come up with a product is the only one that's allowed to make it?... And everybody else that follows is a knock off? So according to your theory, Ford's are the only real cars and everything else is a knock off lol.
Aelous saddle has the middle cutout going all the way back. Nose area is significantly wider with more contact points. The back area's arc ramps up quite a bit more. The rail's flat section is much longer, which could give more flex. So not sure how you got "knock off" on that...unless you're just a Trek hater or completely misinformed.
i've tried the Fizik Argo Adaptive R3 and i just couldn't get myself to feel comfortable on it. I went back to using my Bontrager Aeolus Elite..now ordered the RSL saddle for my Emonda 🫶🏻

Currently the most popular saddle in my fitting studio. I’ve been very impressed with it.
How many degree of nose down is appropriate mate? Thanks,
@@aguswahyudi710I tend to run them roughly 2 degrees nose down if you're looking at the total saddle.
Is there a difference I arc from the cheaper to more expensive models

Just curious did you also tried Cobb randee?
@@MynameisbraulioI tried not good buy this one
This by far has been the most comfortable saddle I have owned. I have the Aeoluls Comp which I believe has more cushion than the other lighter models.
We're glad you are loving the Bontrager Aeolus saddle, Jesse!
Cerveloになっていますが、サドルだけはこだわってaeoluls rslを使っています。生産終了するとかなり困るので、頑張って作り続けて欲しいです。

Can this bike for a man 6’2 tall?
Can I mount it with 7×10 carbon stand on the cervelo bike?
What’s the recommended tilt at the nose please?
Find the point on the saddle from the nose where it becomes 80mm wide and then make the front half until that point level or tilted slightly down.

*Works great, nice height.*
I would love to design these I could say that I’m a bum scientist

Soooo.. Another Specialized Power knock off

Don't be jealous. Specialized copies plenty of CRAP too most notably the D-FRAME.
