TL: DR looking for the good and bad on the Ramus saddle durability, comfort, etc. Bonus if you cover which size and padding thickness and what saddle you came from before choosing the Ramus.


I have been absolutely struggling with perineal pain while riding anything more than an hour. I did a handful of half IM events and a full IM event in 2023.

Ive tried approximately 20 saddles some for many many miles some that were immediately too painful to consider putting milage on. I had been struggling with chafing really bad on either side of the area where the testicles meet the groin both on the testes themselves as well as the inside of the legs right there.

The saddle that has sucked the least is the ISM PN 3.1 but I still experience perennial pain to the point where it's painful to urinate post race.

I've been to 3 different places for saddle fittings and demos and 2 different places for extensive bike fitting.

I've pretty much run out of options and there's nowhere in the US that demos the Ramus.
I'm hoping it's the panacea for all my troubles or at least a significant improvement. However, I'm hoping for some more recent reviews than I can find on the forum before dropping that kind of coin on a saddle.
