The seat was not comfortable. I experience numbness and pain that lasted for several days after taking an initial 65 minute ride. I wanted to take advantage of the full refund. That is a total joke. C... Toon meer

Comfort for the long rides

I am 70 years old and ride gravel bikes, mountain bikes and e-mountain bikes. I usually ride 30+ miles along the canal trails. The Ascent saddle on my gravel bike has been a real game changer. My previous saddle became very uncomfortable after about 25 miles riding. I've ridden my gravel bike 3 times since installing my new saddle and won't go back. I just might buy a second saddle for my e-MTB. No butt pain since installing the Ascent saddle.

Saddle up!

As of today, I have 75+ miles on the new saddle and could not be more pleased with the comfort. The pain/numbness is minimal now. The saddle insulates me from the gravel road vibrations that would eventually cause irritation/friction on the longer 50+ mile days.

I may even consider ordering a new saddle for my mountain bike.

I've had the new seat for a week

I've had the new seat for a week, have not ridden often so far at all, but in a brief three-block ride, I can tell this seat is more comfortable than the very similar seat I purchased from Amazon. While the Ascent seat is a bit more expensive, the shape is (for me) a much better fit. Seems to be made well, with high-quality materials.

Don't believe the satisfaction…

Don't believe the satisfaction guarantee! I purchased one of each style of saddle and realized they were not a significant upgrade to my current saddles. Upon requesting a return, I was initially offered a 15% refund to keep the saddles. I rejected that and was asked to ship the saddles to Sweden, at my cost! (Estimates $345 & $410) This is extortion. Do not trust Ascent

Hi Observer,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that the saddles did not provide the improvement you were hoping for and that the return process left you feeling frustrated and disappointed.

We completely understand your concerns regarding the return shipping costs. As an international brand, returns are currently processed through our central facility, which can unfortunately result in higher shipping fees depending on the customer’s location. We understand how upsetting this situation must have been, especially after expecting a straightforward satisfaction guarantee experience.

We also apologize if the partial refund option offered did not feel like a fair resolution for your concerns. Our intention is always to provide support options that may help customers avoid costly return shipping, but we understand that this approach did not meet your expectations.

Your feedback regarding our policies, communication, and overall customer experience is extremely valuable to us, and your comments will be shared with the appropriate team for further review and improvement.

We would truly appreciate the opportunity to review your case further and see how we may still be able to assist. Please feel free to contact our support team directly with your order details so we can look into this more closely.

Ascent Bicycle cannot fill orders in a timely manner, in fact, it will take up to a month to receive an item. Also, Ascent perpetrates a type of fraud. They claim a 30 day no questions asked money back guarantee, but when you ask for one, they will tell you you have to pay the shipping costs to send the item back to Sweden! They are dishonest brokers.

After over six weeks and no tracking…

After over six weeks and no tracking information made available, the product received wasn’t compatible with my wife’s bike. Failure on my part not knowing the return policy would require a significant charge to ship the product back to Sweden. They offered a discount “for my troubles “ which was still more expensive had I purchased the item from Amazon instead. Nothing different, unique or special about the seat that other companies don’t offer and far less hassle when things go off track. If you’re outside of Sweden, I would avoid this company and product at all costs.

Hi Alpheaus,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I’m truly sorry to hear about the long wait time for your order, the lack of tracking updates, and that the product did not turn out to be compatible with your wife’s bike. I also understand how frustrating and disappointing it must have been to encounter unexpected return costs after already experiencing delays.

This is not the experience we want for our customers, and I completely understand your frustration regarding both the shipping process and the return policy. Your feedback about pricing, compatibility expectations, and the overall purchasing experience is very important, and I want to assure you it has been shared with our team for review and improvement.

We also regret that the discount offered did not meet your expectations or provide a fair resolution for your situation.

30 day guarantee is bogus

30 day guarantee is bogus. It took a longer time to receive the saddle shipping to Calif. I ordered another brand while waiting and I like this one. I want to return the un-used Ascent but it needs to be shipped to Sweden. This information should be on their website.

Have been waiting for a saddle that is… what they claim.

Have been waiting for a saddle that is comfortable on a short evening spin with family as well as comfort on 100 km plus epics. Just put the Ascent 2 saddle on my Kona Oroborous CR and after a few short rides on the stock saddle I knew I had to change. I started with a short spin just to get it set in the right position then went back to back 100 km plus rides . Can honestly say there was some discomfort after but that is to be expected on our Vancouver Island back roads after 6 hours of rattling down a gravel road . Over all experience was of thinking how much support I felt around the areas of constant pressure , no numbness no pressure points. Over all and early on it is the best saddle I have sat on right out of the box. That’s not a light statement as I have at least a dozen brand new stock seats sitting on a shelf.

Long, long wait, and untrackable order.

Would love to write a review of the bike seat I ordered, but not only have I not received it five weeks after ordering it, Ascent cannot even roughly predict when I might receive it. The tracking number brings me to a shipping service I have never heard from whose sight is very busy and confusing, and, importantly, does not provide any details of where my product is. I have had three email exchanges with customer service person who has been very nice and apologetic, but does not provide any information beyond they have indication that my seat is ready for handoff to distributor, whatever that means.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that the seat has not met your expectations and that the shipping experience has caused you frustration.

We completely understand how concerning and disappointing it must feel to wait several weeks without receiving clear delivery updates. This is certainly not the experience we want for our customers.

We also appreciate your feedback regarding the tracking service and shipping visibility. International shipments can sometimes experience delays while moving between logistics facilities and local distributors, which may result in limited or delayed tracking scans. We understand how frustrating and confusing this can be.

Regarding the tracking status, “ready for handoff to distributor” means the parcel is currently waiting to be transferred to the local delivery carrier for final delivery in your area.

Please know that our support team has been actively monitoring your shipment and providing the latest updates available from the carrier network. We truly appreciate your patience while the shipment continues through the delivery process.

Thank you again for your honest feedback, it helps us improve both our service and communication for our customers.

Best regards,
Customer Support Team

Indoor training now more comfortable

Brought the ascent saddle to improve my indoor training and this saddle is so much more comfortable while doing those efforts.
I am going to put on my road biketo see if it’s still as comfortable for those 3 to 4 hour rides

Got charged for a saddle

Got charged for a saddle . Always get an AI generated response from imaginary agent "Emma" and 'Carl". This is a total scam.
Stay away!

Retracting this review.

Saddle arrived. Expect delivery to take 3-4 weeks. So don't expect it to come quickly. Looking the package ship status it appears that it gets hung up in customs somewhere along the line. Saddle looks as advertised.
My apologies to Ascent for my impatience.

Giant Roam Accent Test

Finally got on Giant Roam today with my Accent saddle. I rode on 100lbs of air. Cycled asphalt, pebbles, dirt, bumps. I gave it a good test. Km 25. Good. Km30, still good. At km 25, I usually get uncomfortable. Km 40 and end of ride. Still good. This is a darn fine saddle. I had my biking shorts on but even with other saddle and bike pants it got uncomfortable at Km 25. I give it a full thumbs up so far. I plan another 35km later. More review coming?

I ordered their seat 11 days ago now

I ordered their seat 11 days ago now. Their tracking system shows package awaiting shipment. Multiple emails to them about it come back with same canned response , “sometimes it just takes a long time”. They couldn’t even get my name right. Don’t know if it’s a good seat or not, but hopefully I’ll someday get the seat or my money back.

Hi Jeff,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and I’m truly sorry for the frustration this has caused.

I completely understand how concerning it is to see your tracking still stuck on “awaiting shipment” after 11 days, especially when you’ve already reached out multiple times and haven’t received clear or consistent answers. I also apologize for the incorrect name in previous communications, that’s not the level of accuracy or care you should expect from us.

At this stage, a tracking status showing no movement usually means the parcel has not yet been fully scanned into the carrier’s network, or there has been a delay at the handover stage. Either way, I understand this is not the experience you were expecting, and it leaves you without the clarity you deserve.

I want to assure you that your order has not been forgotten, and I’m going to make sure this is properly reviewed so you receive a clear update on its exact status as soon as possible.

If there is any further delay or issue with dispatch, we will make sure you are offered a fair resolution without any additional back-and-forth.

Thank you for your patience, and again I’m sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.

Kind regards,
Customer Support Team

Guarantee is worthless

I ordered 2 seats. One was way too large so I asked for an exchange. They don’t do that. They said I have to send the seat back at my expense… TO SWEDEN! The 30 day satisfaction guarantee is bogus.
They offered me 15% then 25% off on my order. That is where I am. Buyer beware.

Hi Frannie,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and I’m truly sorry for the frustration this situation has caused.

I completely understand how disappointing it must have been to receive a saddle that didn’t fit your expectations and then learn about the return process, especially the cost and inconvenience of sending it internationally. I can see why this would make the 30-day satisfaction guarantee feel misleading, and I’m very sorry for that experience.

As an international brand, returns are currently handled through our central facility, which can result in higher return shipping costs. That said, your feedback is absolutely valid, and we are actively working on improving this process to make it more convenient and fair for our customers.

Regarding the partial refund offers, these are meant to provide a quicker and more cost-effective alternative to returning the item, but I understand that this may not have met your expectations.

We would genuinely appreciate the opportunity to make this right for you. If you’re open to it, please reply with your order details, and we will review your case again to see what more we can do to reach a resolution that feels fair.

Thank you again for your honest feedback, it truly helps us improve.
