Why I Stopped Using the EC90 Power Saddle From AliExpress

The reviewer discusses their experience with the EC90 saddle, which they purchased for $20 from an online marketplace. They initially found the shape with the cutout beneficial for aggressive riding positions, such as being in the drops or on aero bars, and considered it comfortable. However, they later noticed discomfort in their knees and hips, attributing this to the saddle's excessive flex. They compared the EC90's flex to that of a Cannondale saddle and a specialized Roman Evo, noting the EC90 had significantly more flex, which they believed negatively affected their pedaling mechanics and hip stability. The reviewer concluded that while the saddle's shape was initially appealing, the excessive flex made it unsuitable for their road biking needs, leading them to switch to firmer saddles like the specialized Roman Evo and consider the specialized power expert.

4.0/5
Usage: Light
  • a little too small (too short) for my
  • not very comfy for heavier riders I suppose, it's ok for 1-2h rides, but nothing more
  • Now, it's on the Zwift bike, so that is a good fit for me
