Ascent Bicycle Arvostelua 74

I want to express how grateful I am to find this product. I have ridden on various saddles, and found this to be the most comfortable. I also found it is the best bang for your money.

Sometimes when a saddle feels uncomfortable, I think it's something I'm doing wrong, not angling front-to-back correctly, not lubricating enough, maybe I should just stick with recumbents, etc. But I like my Bike Friday and Brompton bikes! When I saw the ad for the Ascent saddle, I thought: give it a try. When I first sat on it, it felt good, but I didn't want to judge too soon. So, after a couple of weeks, with rides ranging from 10 to 25 miles, my opinion: this is a great, comfortable saddle! If your butt feels sore, it might not be your fault. Give this Ascent saddle a try!

Great purchase. After a couple of rides achieved a 60 mile ride without the numbness. Great value too.

20 miles used to be me butt limit. Now my legs give out before my butt. Love exploring twice as far.

From the very start, the communication was fantastic. Shipping was prompt. Shortly after receiving my seat I received an e-mail, not a survey but an e-mail asking how I liked it. I told them the weather had made it impossible to try. This person then commented on the weather and wished for bluer skies in the future. This was a person! I asked then for pointers on the starting set-up and again, right back with suggestions. I finally got to try my new seat and I couldn't be happier! What a great product offered by a wonderful team!! Thank You!

Easy to order and delivery was quick. I love the softness and comfort of the seat.

I was having a difficult time with saddle pain while riding. I know, it's part of riding, but Ascent has made things so much better. I rode 150 miles is 3 days and my butt does not feel super painful like my other saddle would have made it feel. It is world's more comfortable and still sporty at the same time. If you're wondering whether this saddle is worth spending the money on, let me resolve that issue, absolutely!

After a 2 year medical hiatus, I’m practically starting my cycling over again. 12 milers instead of 40s. Like other cyclists we struggle to find the ideal seat. I was very skeptical about ordering my Ascent Sport. I’m finding it to be more comfortable than my others. Some positioning adjustments are still in order. I’ll be in a better position to evaluate and update my review after reaching 20+ miles per ride. I’m having great expectations.

I had a terrible experience with Ascent Bicycle Seats, and I strongly recommend avoiding this product.
This seat absolutely wrecked my back. After just a short period of riding, I was dealing with soreness and discomfort that lasted for nearly a full week. A bike seat is supposed to support you—not leave you recovering like you’ve been injured. It failed in the most basic function it’s designed for.
Beyond that, the build quality is extremely disappointing. The seat feels heavy, poorly constructed, and cheap, especially considering it costs around $95. There’s nothing about it that justifies the price point.
What really pushed this into unacceptable territory was the return process. The company expects you to pay $25–$45 out of pocket to ship it back to Sweden—for a product that already isn’t worth what you paid. That’s a huge burden to put on the customer for what is clearly an inferior item.
Bottom line:
Uncomfortable, overpriced, and backed by a terrible return policy. Save yourself the pain—literally and financially—and buy from a company that stands behind its products.

Just like every bicycle saddle, It took some time to get my new Ascent saddle just right. And once I found the sweet spot, it is truly sweet. I’m not sure how Ascent made a seat this forgiving, but they nailed it. Most comfortable ride ever.

I have tried every saddle imaginable in my over fifty-nine years of cycling, including a well-worn BROOKS seat to cheap CYCLE PRO seats, even the super-heavy SPENCO GEL seat cover that I rode on for 155 miles in ONE DAY! This saddle is super comfy right off the bat, but... seeing my GALLI and CAMPY equipped NISHIKI COMPETITION gain so much weight just because of a minor comfort improvement left me shedding tears! Perhaps offering TITANIUM or at least ALUMINUM rails might take some of the sting away! Just a suggestion, as an increase in price (REASONABLE!) is worth it to us ounce saving fanatics! Thanks for tackling this perennial problem! Best regards, Thomas Vitrano.

I purchased the ascent saddle to replace the Bontrager seat on my Wahoo Kickr training bike. I was experiencing pretty severe sit bone pain after approximately 30 minutes of riding - having to stand for a while for relief. The ascent has assuaged the issue. Thank you!

Great seat once adjusted. Shipping took a while, updates were a lil slow but overall great seat.

Best Seat Ever
I bought a seat here and it is the most comfortable seat I have ever had. Good price too.

Very comfortable, made riding a pleasure again. 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️

Saddle is good for pain , but is to big and heavy should have got sport instead of comfort.

Great product!!! Can’t wait for the rain to stop so I can try it on the trails!!!

I purchased the sport plus seat based on the advertising and reviews. I also understood their 30 day money back guarantee with product return if not satisfied. I received the product on Tuesday March 3, 2026, put in on my bike and tried it on Wednesday March 4, 2026. After only 5 miles it was very uncomfortable and I had to put my old seat back on. I requested a refund, sent photos as requested, and got a message that they would give me a discount if I did not return the product. My purchase was in part based on the guarantee, so when I pressed them for a refund, they said I had to sent the product back to:
Ascent Ecommerce LLC
Logistikvägen 18
556 52 Jönköping
Sweden
and pay for shipping.
Obviously this is VERY deceptive if not fraudulent as they have a USA address and any reasonable buyer would expect returns would be sent to their US location. According to UPS Store it would cost at least $150.00 to send a $69.00 bike seat back to Sweden!!!
Looking back at their reviews, I did notice someone recently experienced the same issue. I wish I would have seen it BEFORE I ordered because, I definitely would not have done business with this company!
I just received a reply from ascent accepting no responsibility for their lack of transparency about the location of the return. No where on their website or return policy does it clearly state the location of returns being in Sweden and not where the product was shipped from in Wyoming. Buy at local bike store where the actually honor their return policies!!

Delivery and communication was terrible. They kept asking how my seat was when it hadn’t even arrived yet . I finally got the seat and so far has been a lot better than my previous one but will have to give it a few more rides to see.

I own a specialized Roubaix bike.
The seat I received will not go on the bike post as the seat attachment for the two seats are so different.
I do not have an answer but surely you will. i wish i would have known the configuration ahead of time.
I guess I will use the seat on my office chair so i won't feel like i wasted all of my money.
I will try to find a seat locally or find a carbon post to mount the seat on. Not sure how my fanny will handle that.
