SaddleBUCKLOS 3D Printed Saddle 143MM 155mm Carbon Fiber Hollow Comfortable Breathable MTB Gravel Road Bicycle Cycling Seating Parts
Created: May 25, 2026The reviewer says the BUCKLOS 3D Printed Saddle is a high-quality, affordable alternative to expensive 3D printed saddles like Specialized Mirror or Fizik Argo. It has a stubby, short nose design, carbon fiber rails, and a honeycomb mesh construction. The padding is very firm, which the reviewer prefers over softer options, and the shape works well for their sit bones with a central relief channel. They consider it the most impressive 3D saddle from AliExpress they've tried.
AI-Summary
Pros
- Very affordable at £63 compared to £200-300 for similar saddles
- High-quality construction, looks high-end
- Carbon fiber rails save weight and look bling
- Good shape with narrow nose and broad base, fits sit bones well
- Central relief channel reduces pressure
- Firm padding preferred by reviewer over softer options
- Seems to offer benefits of 3D printing without massive price tag
Cons
- Padding is very firm, perhaps a bit too firm for some
