The Cup Gel

Very comfortable. Actually the most comfortable I have ever, had going back to my J. C. Higgens one speed, coaster brake bike from the '50's. It has served me well on my ROLL for over 11,000 miles; but the cover is showing signs of weather and should be replaced. I have eliminated the padded bike shorts and ride in plain ole cotton gym shorts for rides of 2 hours or less.

The saddle that came with my Como did not give me the comfort needed to ride the rail-trails, which is what we enjoy doing. I tried three other saddles before this one, not realizing Specialized made different saddles for my bike. I experienced not just discomfort but pain after an hour or two. This one is the winner! I can ride hours a day in comfort and the saddle maintains the sleek look of the bike. I think measuring “sit points” has much to do with this-a saddle made for me.

Uncomfortable ride

Good seats

After I installed the seat, it made a loud popping sound in the rear when I sat on it or rocked left and right. It sounded like something was getting caught then busting loose as weight increased. I took the seat with seatpost off and looked underneath thinking maybe the rear rubber bushing needs some lubrication so it wouldn’t pop. When I loosened the screws that attached the bushing to the rails, what I actually discovered was that those 2 screws were never tightened down all the way. I simply tightened both screws all the way down and it fixed the problem.

I bought these saddles for all of my bikes and also for my wife’s bikes. They were comfortable for extended rides. Very satisfied and will make this my go to saddle for all of my bicycles.

My vado factory seat wasn’t working for me. The cup made all the difference in the world. I can ride longer now and not worry about my butt hurting. At 70 comfort is very important and this seat delivers. Actually a very good looking as well.

This is the perfect seat for my Specialized COMO Bicycle. It is comfortable and simple to install . I can ride on it for hours. A really nice way to improve the ride of my already smooth bicycle.

I bought this seat in the hopes of finding something more comfortable than my previous choices. So far, it is definitely better than the stock seat of my eBike. It is also better than my last attempt. So far, this saddle is something I think I can ride for many hours on end.

We replaced the original seats on our new Como 4.0 IGH e-bikes and what a great improvement. The seat is comfortable, easy to install and we are very happy with our purchase. This seat offers more padding, larger sized seating area and gel comfort than the original seat. First ride was a 40+ mile ride and no soreness at all.

Looking for a softer seat for my Como 3.0, Support recommended The Cup Gel as a replacement. The Cup Gel looked and felt almost exactly as the the seat that my Como 3.0 came with that. Unfortunately, Including shipping I'm out $50

I just bought a new Specialized Como 4.0IGH E-Bike & my only issue was the saddle not being comfortable. So I ordered The Expedition & The Cup from Specialized. 1st I tried the Expedition & it was somewhat better. Then I switched to The Cup…it’s amazingly comfortable. It took a little tweaking to adjust it to the perfect angle. Now it’s super comfy. I can ride for a long time & now I’m truly enjoying my new E-Bike. If you’re mostly street riding and some trail bike paths you won’t go wrong. Just buy it!

This older Specialized seat is much more comfortable than the newer ones.

specalized change como to another saddle which is not as comfortable. Bought the cup gel and replaced it. great seat.

Great for those long rides

Didn’t think that seat is as comfy as the original. The gel doesn’t help at all. Kinda disappointed!

The seat is squishy and a bit wider than what came with my bike. The issue is my bum is used to the smaller size of the original seat and this slightly larger one is taking some getting used to. Although it is squishier, my bones hit it differently and it rubs a different part of my backside and makes me sore. I have given it a good 50 miles or so and am still not conditioned to it. Alas, I have not given up on it and hope after another 50 miles (or less!) my nether’s will like it.

While not the best seat you can buy, this seat is so much better than the stock seat it’s amazing!

I installed this on my E-bike as a replacement. I wanted something more comfortable but not big and wide like some out there. It works great. I just lowered nose more than it showed on the mounting info and is more comfortable now. thing about getting some to mount on my regular cross and mountain bikes.

Very comfortable Great seat

What a fantastic upgrade. Soar tush is a thing of the past. This is truly a comfortable bike saddle that delivers on its promise.

This seat should be renamed the 100 miler instead of the cup.because you can sit on it forever.

I replaced the standard seat on my Specialized Roll 2.0 with this seat. I find the new seat more comfortable.

As part of a weight loss journey I purchased a Roll 3.0. At first I thought the Body Geometry Comfort Gel Saddle that came with the bike would be great. I was wrong, I’m a bigger guy and the OEM saddle proved to be very uncomfortable and greatly limited my riding time. I ordered The Cup Gel, installed it on my bike and two words: problem solved! It is a very comfortable saddle and I highly recommend it to anyone that seeks comfort on an all around bike like the Roll 3.0.

most comfortable bike seat I've ever had

Very comfortable seat

Hard, but I haven't gone Numb. Well Made.

Bought this seat to replace the original seat that came with a stationary Schwinn ACP spin bike. Big difference! This seat is larger and softer than the original so I can stay on the bike longer for a better cardio workout.

Fantastic seat for my concept2 training bike. Great service from Specialized Bike.

Unbelievably comfortable and supportive for any upright bike.

Super comfy!! I have one on my e bike and hubby wanted something comfy for our spinning bike indoors. So I bought this for him on Father’s Day. It fit. And he is in love. Now his jewels are riding on a pillow.

Total comfort. No pain. I can’t say enough about this seat.

Greatest seats EVER! I wore one out and last be this new seat!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Highly recommend the Cup seat as a replacement for the stock model on the Como 4.

I was very satisfied with this set. I’m going to buy another one for my other bike.

Very comfortable saddle

Good concept for upright riding position.

I'm the size of an NFL offensive lineman, the the seat that came on my Rockhopper Sport 29 was painful to use, even after just a few minutes. The pros at my local bike shop had me test a couple different saddles out, and this one has me riding pain free almost instantaneously. It's perfect for my large frame and wide hips.

I'm 6'1"", 300#. Obviously, long rides are at the moment, a challenge for both the bike seat, and my rear end. But this seat is up to the challenge. First of all, it's strong enough that I don't bend the springs, or mess it up, and I can go 60+ minutes before needing a 5 minute break to restore circulation. Both a massive improvement on the chain store seat I had before on my old bike. Good job, Specialized.
