Bridge Sport

I have been a long distance road cyclist for nearly 20 years. I am not a racer -- more of a grinder. Great saddle that won't break the bank. Just the right amount of padding when combined with a decent pair of padded shorts. Sure it weighs 100 grams more than high end saddles that cost significantly more. The level III padding is just the right amount. We shall see how durable it is, but first impressions are fantastic.

Highly recommend for casual/recreational riders. Waterproof, comfortable — but — not strong/durable (daily commuter with backpack = approx 225-250lbs average MAX weight) ***under 1 year, ≈ 4k miles*** saddle structure/plastic concaved front-back side view (rails not warped = no need for chromoly rails) STILL WORTH BUYING yearly______ I prefer the discontinued “indies" saddle more due to "leather" and slightly more comfortable, definitely stronger (never had warping/concaved issues = lasted 3+ years avg @ same price bracket) _____ I like the waterproof but poly-shell material scuffs easily if not using a kickstand (would be perfect — worth spending extra $$$ — if actual 1-piece formed LEATHER) _____ using "base" for regular bike (sirrus, rockhopper, hardrock, AWOL) & "mimic" for eBikes (swapped out @ HAUL bike = prefer a narrower seat. Keeping "gel" only because of zero suspension using "haul" bike)

This is one of the most body specific (comfortable) saddles I've ever used. Being it was OEM on the Turbo Levo, I wasn't expecting much. But I was very impressed. Anyway I had a big wreck and tore the original saddle and needed to replace it. The Product Description on the Bridge Sport does not specifically say it is SWAT compatible, so through help of Rider Care and purchasing this replacement saddle, I can confirm that it is. This was important to me because I use the Mountain Bandit for my Tube/Tool/CO2.

Perfect seat that is sturdy and effective.

I'm a big guy. I rode about 85 miles on this seat with a 40lb pack on my back after going 2 years without riding over 50mi in one go. The seat was so comfy on one of my bikes that I bought a second for my fixie. 10/10 would recommend.

Even with the more expensive saddles, I get seat bone pain. After buying my Stumpy, I ended up purchasing 4 more of these for all my other bikes. It is the perfect saddle for "me".

Great

What is a good saddle? One that fits you specifically I would guess. Hence even great saddles don’t necessarily mean it’s comfortable for you. I tried this one for a month and gave up. It’s ok up to say 15 miles and then became a pain in the butt. Shame but it’s too narrow for me.

Comfy and good value

quick thing to say I love specialized they are awesome, after getting mine I tried the stock seat for about 2 months and it was ok for short distance rides but not great for longer rides so I think it would be good to upgrade seat if you are doing longer rides but for shorter you will be fine have an amazing day :)

Comfy and out of the way saddle

Very good saddle for the price, well made and can be multiuse but the main use appears to be leaning more on the MTB side because the cover appears to be made or a material that can take the knocks and scratches you get offroad riding.

Nice comfortable seat! Bought one for my new bike love it

Millimeters matter, after measuring my sit bones I ordered the larger saddle size than what came with my bike. Fits well, feels right.

Nice seat for the price! Haven’t ridden it yet (middle of winter). Feels comfortable to sit on though!

Saddle came on my Fuse Comp and I have found I actually like this saddle quite a lot. I’m a big dude too at nearly 260 lbs. only thing is the plastic part on back is kind of a weak spot. Even though mine’s kind of torn off after a couple seasons, I’m still shredding with it because it’s comfortable and works for me. Thinking about asking for a new one for my next build.

Great comfortable seat that goes with me to any bicycle I ride !

Very comfortable. Easy to install.

This saddle came stock on my Stumpjumper and I found it actually fit me really well and was pretty comfortable. I don’t even have the SJ anymore but I’ve picked up a couple of these to run on other bikes.

Just got my new specialized levo and have to say the bridge saddle is ultra comfortable dont normally write reviews but here we are - you wont be disappointed - good price too.

I first experienced the Bridge Sport (143mm) on my new Specialized 27.5 Fuse Sport and thought it was the most comfortable saddle I've ridden on. I was so impressed with the saddle, I ordered one for my 2010 Specialized Tri-cross Comp, and my sit-bones are now thanking me. The saddle is plenty firm for efficient riding, but the design and shock absorbing materials of this quality saddle make it a very comfortable ride!

I'm reading reviews, and seriously guys and gals, seats are meant to be replaced if they don't fit you. A good bike shop will have a tool that measures what will work for you. You can then easily sell the "take off" online. I replaced mine, but only because it didn't fit right. It's a good saddle, and it's priced accurately.

Bought a Levo pro thinking I would change the saddle for my usual but ended up really liking the standard saddle! I then ordered the wider version and absolutely love it. Nice and soft but supportive and keeps the pressure off of the right places. Would recommend to anyone

I'm 5-9 and 207, The saddle works well on my 2021 Sirrus 3.0. I have done several 20-25 mile rides with no seat problems. Before bashing a saddle get a bike fit or get the bike set up by someone who knows how. Once I got the seat height and fore/aft position correct it is good. As with any seat, before the seat was properly positioned it wasn't a good fit.

This came on my Diverge Base E5 in size 54cm. Really surprised at how much flex this saddle has. Good amount of padding too. This was my first Specialized bike and for an included saddle I was comfortable especially compared to manufacturer stock and upgraded saddles. Note, I'm coming from the road bile side so saddles tend to be on the stiffer side. If you are riding a hybrid, and used to fat padded saddles, then this will feel stiff as will any other road oriented saddle. Also, make sure you have the right width for your sit bone measurement and correct saddle tilt as it can make all the difference. Also, what you wear can make a difference too...do you hear bibs with a chaomois? liner with a chamois? skinny jeans? Overall, saddles are a very subjective topic and your rear end may be different, but this one seems to work well for mine.

Pedals and seat for test drive only quality. Thanks specialized for not making critical personal decisions for me that may have cost more money than needed. I had all premium replacement parts ready to go. Junk seat and pedals that came with it in trash. As I always do with new bikes. I'm thankful that I can do that.

This saddle came with my Rockhopper and as someone who is 220 pounds and the butt that comes with it, this is an extremely uncomfortable saddle. That being said, the quality of it seems very high and I can see a skinner rider enjoying it.

Came with Rockhopper, I believe. Very comfortable, coming from my world of road and try bikes. It might be a little heavy.

This saddle came on my newly purchased Rockhopper. I'm 5'9"" 150lbs with about a 116mm sit bone width and this seems to fit my geometry well. I do mainly gravel rides up to about 20-30 miles at a time with this bike, and so far it has Ben very comfortable. Saddles are incredibly personal and dependent on rider size, flexibility, frequency/length of use, etc. This one seems to agree with me.

Got this with my Sirrus 3.0 bike, did 40km first two days and had to recover for a couple of days. I found this saddle really not on the comfort side and will try to replace it with a Specialized Comfort saddle.
