Curious to hear your thoughts. I was going to order one. Sent them and email and said no returns if I didn’t like it.

I already have a box of saddles, no need to add more on it.

What ISM are you on now?

I've been interested in this saddle for awhile have not seen it in the wild. What density did you get soft or medium?

Interesting that the Syncros/Scott version with carbon rails is $180/220grams and the Gebiomized version with titanium rails is $255/250 to 260grams. Syncros version of course out of stock at the moment.

I ordered mine from Cyclologic, which is their US distributor. You may want to see if their return policy is any different (if you haven't already).

I'm coming from an ISM PS 2.0 and then a Cobb Delta 38. I couldn't avoid hotspots on the ISM and the Delta 38 was a bit too narrow. The gebioMized seems to address both issues so far.


I got the soft, which was recommended for long course racing.

I've been running it for a while now. Very pleased with it. Allows me much more pelvic tilt and stability than a Fizik, ISM, etc. I was skeptical first and thought the commentary around using fit data was marketing driven but would definitely recommend it

I want to try this saddle. I decided to try Selle Italia's Iron saddle and didn't like it very much.

Does anyone know the difference between Syncros TT saddle and Tri saddle?

It looks like only the Belcarra V1.0 Tri matches the gebioMized Stride saddle. The others seem to have a different shape and larger cutout. Also, for tri I'd prefer round titanium rails over carbon, and I don't see one from Syncros that doesn't have carbon rails.

May I ask why?

You got me very engaged until you said LS is using this saddle…

I'd be afraid of racking my bike against the rails and having it handled by volunteers. I think some seat post clamps also specify the seat rails must be round? I've seen some carbon rails that weren't.

that one has a shorter cutout (and i think shorter nose overall) than the stride. looks like very similar shape otherwise but likely different padding

I’ve been using it for almost 2 years now and love it. I tried just about every saddle out there but saw this on a pros bike a long time ago and bought one. I hadn’t even heard about the company before that.

I need to adjust the tilt a bit, but it's definitely more comfortable for me than the Delta 38. I also found a nice BTS mount that attaches directly to the rear underside of the saddle.

It would be interesting to hear feedback from someone who tried both. Are they really that different?

What did you use?

This is the product. There is a rubber plug underneath the saddle that hides the two threaded holes.

I've had both saddles. The Gebio Stride (soft) and a Belcarra Tri. They are the same saddle, I couldn't tell a difference. Usable rail length is slightly longer on the Gebiomized. I originally stuck with the Belcarra as I preferred the all black look and not the white logo.

Comfort wise, it's a good saddle, loads of thigh clearance and plenty of padding. I also bought the built in bottle mount here in the UK (from Westbrook cycles) It's made by Topeak and to be honest I think it's pretty naff. Fine for one bottle but it snapped off when I used 2 full 750mm bottles. Scott did replace the mount.

Summary of the saddle, Good for multiple positions, long thin (50mm) nose with enough padding to use. For me, I found I had hotspots and it just wasn't quite comfy over IM distance. I've since gone back to a Dash.

Excellent comparison! Thank you so much🤗

do you ride it like a nose-less saddle or a standard saddle?

This is a concern I had when ordering the mount, glad to hear my gut feeling is correct. What part actually broke?

i see now that the cutout is actually the same, its just the rail mount on the syncros makes the front of the cutout look filled in.
they do supposedly have different padding though - syncros is PU foam whereas gebiomized use "High-end EVA foam". what that means in practice, who knows

which Dash did you went back to? I own every Dash out there, and was actually thinking to try the Stride.

I’ve got both the strike and stage. Think the strike is the one for me. Narrow enough at the front with enough support at the back.

They market it as a saddle for both nose riding and rear riding. I found riding on the nose wasn’t quite supportive enough and the rear riding put pressure where I didn’t want it. I’m too fussy that’s my problem. I had the tilt at -2 and -3. Any more tilt and I felt unstable.

Gotcha.

I’m on the same boat -without having tried the G- and also prefer the Dash strike over the stage.

Having said that, did you end up selling your Geo?
