RYET 3D Printed Bicycle Saddle Ultralight 120g Carbon Saddle 250x140mm Bike Seating for MTB Gravel Road Bike Seat Cycling Parts

RYET 3D Printed Bicycle Saddle Ultralight 120g Carbon Saddle 250x140mm Bike Seating for MTB Gravel Road Bike Seat Cycling Parts

Created: March 06, 2026

The reviewer discusses the RYET (referred to as 'Riot' in the transcript) 3D Printed Bicycle Saddle extensively. They are no stranger to the brand and have used a previous 3D printed model. They are now testing a new high-end 'Riot Ultimate' carbon fiber, 3D printed saddle. They praise its narrow nose profile, advanced 3D printing with variable density (firm under sit bones, soft in the pressure relief channel), premium carbon shell with no flex, grippy finish on the rails, and measurement markings. They tested it on a turbo trainer for a 3-hour session and found it very comfortable, on par with their much more expensive Selle Italia SLR Boost. They highlight its significantly lower cost compared to major brand 3D printed saddles.

AI-Summary

Pros

  • Comfortable, especially on a turbo trainer (a brutal test environment).
  • Narrow nose profile that suits the reviewer's preference.
  • Advanced 3D printing technology with variable density (firm for support, soft for pressure relief).
  • Premium feeling with a carbon shell that shows no flex.
  • Nice grippy finish on the rails to prevent slipping in the clamp.
  • Measurement markings on the rails for repeatable fit.
  • Well-made with the carbon shell nicely bonded to the rails.
  • Significantly cheaper than major brand 3D printed saddles (approx. ยฃ70 vs. over ยฃ300).
  • Comes with a protective carrying bag.
  • Has a cover over the 3D mesh to prevent abrasion on shorts (unlike an older model).
  • Allows for proper rotation forward to maintain an aggressive riding position.

Cons

  • The reviewer mentions that some seat clamps may not work well with its ovalized carbon rails.
  • It is not as light as some full carbon saddles with minimal padding (186g vs. 153g for another Riot model).
  • The reviewer had an issue with an older Riot 3D printed saddle having a wide nose they didn't like, but this is not a con for the new model discussed.

Key Points

  • Brand is referred to as 'Riot' (phonetically similar to RYET).
  • Model is the 'Riot Ultimate' with a carbon shell.
  • It is a 3D printed saddle.
  • Weight is 186 grams.
  • Features variable density 3D printing: firm under sit bones, soft in the pressure relief channel and nose.
  • Has a cover over the 3D mesh.
  • Uses ovalized carbon rails.
  • Includes measurement markings on the rails.
  • Approximate price is ยฃ70 on AliExpress for the high-end carbon model.
  • A cheaper steel rail version exists for around ยฃ16.

RYET Carbon 3D Printed Saddle Ultralight 190g 7*9 Bike Seating For Men Women Triathlon Road MTB Mountain Gravel Cycling Parts

RYET Carbon 3D Printed Saddle Ultralight 190g 7*9 Bike Seating For Men Women Triathlon Road MTB Mountain Gravel Cycling Parts

Created: August 23, 2024

The reviewer does not mention the 'RYET Carbon 3D Printed Saddle Ultralight 175g 7*9 Bike Seating For Men Women Triathlon Road MTB Mountain Gravel Cycling Parts' at any point in the video transcript. The entire review is focused on a different product, the 'Riot Ultimate' saddle (also referred to as 'Riot' or 'Riot saddles'), which is a carbon-shelled, 3D printed saddle purchased from AliExpress. The reviewer discusses their experience with this specific Riot model, its comfort, weight, design, and price, but never references the RYET brand or model specified in the query.
