Excellent seat
The former seat was very uncomfortable and my coccyx was painful even after a short trip. I was recommended a gel seat and after reading most of the reviews on this particular seat I decided to give it a try since the price was very reasonable.Shipping was very fast, a slightly big but good and simple packaging. The seat itself is very comfortable and because I bike to school for 45 minutes straight every day each way, so far I have not noticed anything negative about it.I did not install it myself, I took it to a bike store since I had a flat tire anyways. I have a Diamondback mountain bike, and the seat looked a bit too big for the bike at first, but after a while you get used to it, nevertheless, it makes bike rides very comfortable.I'm pretty small and lightweight for a person, and have never tried other gel seats, but this one was definitely a good fit for me.

good seat!
At first glance and ride: 10.5" by 10.5" is HUGE compared to the typical road and mt bike seat/saddle. If your bicycle seat/saddle stem uses a "rail" attachment, you can remove the standard mount on this seat. The seat will make you much higher than your traditional road or mountain bike. Just adjust the up/down on the stem. I road 13 miles in a very high position. I was lazy and did not want to stop to make the adjustment. Interestingly, pedaling was close to upright and discomfort free (crotch and hips). I did feel "forward" and I was over my handlebars more than usual. I was also quicker pedaling. I kept trying to sit back towards the rear of the seat, but I could not achieve moving backward on the seat successfully due to the height I had the seat stem set. I lowered the stem at mile 13 and comfortably continued my ride. The horn or nose is snubbed and very well padded. Zero crotch and hip issues getting off the bike after a 20-mile ride (part county highway, side street, and paved bike trail. Tomorrow gravel trail and more miles will come. I like this seat. Spreads the crotch and hips, provides support and cushion. Unbeatable price. "THE EXECUTIVE" is cheesy and can be shaded in with a black permanent marker. I did shade mine.​Several days of pedaling around 13-15 miles with the seat lower. I wore older bicycling (paddle chamois) shorts until yesterday. I tried canari padded cycling shorts/tights yesterday and found that the lower front/bottom (horn) edge/rim of the seat (both sides) is a bit uncomfortable. The metal edge does not have any padding. I moved around on the seat but could not find a comfortable position for 13.5 miles. It could be the seat is still a bit too high. No issues with hips and crotch when getting off the bike. Still recommend!Good luck...

nice
The seat itself is nice and comfortable. However, my husband has a older bike and the seat post was too big for this so I had to use the attachments from the old bike seat to attach and use this seat

Too bulky, too heavy, not kooshy
THe seat was not comfortable. It was too bulky, too heavy, and not very soft or kooshy. Plus, it says "The Executive" across the back, so you can look totally geeky biking down the street (as if a monstro hard seat wasn't enough).

Not for me
It may be suitable for someone who like cruiser bike. But for most people, it is not a good choice. It is big, but does not give you a relief on your stressed region. For some of you who just start biking, large saddle does not mean more comfortable. You need a right bike geometry, bike fit, and proper saddle with some stiffness.

Awesome Comfort
Oh baby, I've been waiting for you and you have arrived in my life and have brought me so much relief and comfort. Ahhh!! That's how I feel about "The Executive" bike seat. I've recently taken up cycling on Saturday mornings with my husband and this seat is a significant improvement on the seat that came with my bicycle, which left me with much pain after riding for over an hour. The suspension is out of this world; I can go over bumps without having to ease up off the seat to avoid discomfort. I simply love it and I am sure you will love it also and to image I am getting these results without the seat being broken in to my physique yet. It has good width, shape - which complements the gluteus maximus. It provides such luxurious comfort that I do not like to stop riding. I highly recommend, you won't regret it.

You get what you pay for.
I wanted to give it 3 and a 1/2 stars but couldn't figure out how to do it. It's high selling point is affordability, and for that you get every penny's worth. It's comfortable enough and durable enough, for the price you pay. I've been having a devil of a time getting the fit right. The horn is either too high up in my crotch or too low. I have a feeling it's my size. I'm 5'7" and I seem to be a tad too short to get the full benefit of the back of the seat. I'm not long enough to sit comfortably on the back of the seat and still reach the handlebars effectively. It's an okay product. If I had it to do over again I might splurge the extra few bucks and get a gel seat.

it worked for a short period
I bought this so I could enjoy cycling, however it worked well and was very comfortable. However after about 1 month, it became loose fitting and I was not able to tighten it. It was very comfortable until it became loose fitting.
