The Felix prototype saddle cups your sit bones and features lots of adjustability
Saying it can cure ED, not prevent it, is an interesting claim to make, especially without any explanation in the article.
I’m going to assune the inventor can only get off by pressing a vibrator to his pelvis and that he stumbled into his kink.
LOL. Reminds me of that surgeon who fixed the man’s fingers after an accident. He promised that All will be good. You will even be able again to play the piano again. That’s great, said the man, because I could never figure it out before.
it will also do your taxes and can cure narcolepsy!
:sigh: not this again
Right? Split saddles have been around for decades.
I know but they try to reinvent them every 6 months but they’ve been more or less the same for decades.
I’ve been using something similar for a while. They’re comfy.

Could you go into more detail (as much as you’re “comfortable” with!)? Serious question, I’m considering buying.
Each cup holds the bones in my butt. They can be moved in and out to find the fit, then as you’re cycling, they move up and down with your leg.
I find the gap between the two avoids putting pressure on my taint, which is nice.
I tend to be relatively upright when cycling, but I’ve also used it in a more horizontal position. It’s comfy in each.
Any unanticipated downsides? What about pants?
No downsides that I can think of. They’re basically a drop in replacement for a regular saddle.
I bike in either pants or soccer shorts and briefs. The saddle is fine with those. I don’t notice abnormal wear or bunching.
Years ago I used to wear cycling shorts and they seemed fine as well, but that was loooooong ago.
Yep. Lycra is overrated! I cycled 2500 km last year in shorts 'n boxers. Admittedly with double suspension.
Very interesting and useful feedback, thanks.
I ride exclusively in boxers and regular street clothes, no problem. I usually ride on Brooks or Selle Royale saddles though depending on which bike and setup I’m using.

So, somewhere between a razor blade and an ironing board with springs.
Interesting data point. I confess that I’m a bit skeptical when hardened (pun intended) cyclists talk of how comfortable their various saddles are. In my experience it’s the first few days that matter, after that you’ll basically be numbed to anything. Which is why I was surprised not get any problems - literally the first time ever - from the epically squidgy throne-like saddle on my cheapie new Chinese e-bike last year. Only one explanation: the double (front and rear) suspension. Would not have guessed but it really makes all the difference.
Is the width adjustable? I mean, it seems rather wide in the photo.
Just imagine you fall to the side, and it get’s a little loose there and pushed together from falling…
I just don’t sit down. More exercise that way and saves weight if you remove the seat post.
