The Comfortline brand is primarily known as a saddle supplier for exercise bikes or trekking bikes. The "RS 6" and "RS 8 Aero" models, on the other hand, are designed for racing cyclists and mountain bikers. What they both have in common is pleasantly firm padding and a generous seat width of a good ten centimetres - eight or nine centimetres is standard. To relieve the perineal area, the 200 gram "RS 8 Aero" has an eleven centimetre long slit in the seat, the edges of which are shaped in such a way that no unpleasant pressure peaks occur at the edges. Both saddles were rated as very comfortable by their test riders after 400 test kilometres each. There was no numbness in the perineal area even after several hours of riding.
