Our Customers Say It Best!
"I'm loving my Zeta. I can hop on without padded bibs and cruise without soreness. I've had to adjust it a few times to get it perfect but did 32 miles a few days ago and wasn't sore after. The best. And the customer service is top top tier. I can't say enough good things about this company. So far it's great." Dustin Webb via email
Hi Patrick, I’ve had my new saddle now for a month and have several rides now with the saddle. After dialing in the seat angle all I can say is WOW. The saddle disappeared. What I mean by that is I wasn’t giving it any thought. My rides are 1-1/2 - 2 hours long and I usually dealt with so much pain that I could barely continue sitting by the end of the ride. Such an improvement. I’m riding a Specialized S-Works Turbo Levo that came with the best of everything. Everything except the saddle. Now I can fully enjoy both the bike and the ride. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Dale Stanton via email

New Zeta for an 8hr
I tried bought a Zeta because I have had a LOT of pain during long MTB efforts (particularly races over 35 miles).
I put it on for an 8 hr race last month and it helped significantly.
After doing shorter rides on another bike (not equipped with a Zeta saddle) I realized even more how much I liked it.
Looks like I will be buying a couple more for my other bikes. Reasonably priced and well worth the small weight penalty.

Reactive Padding™
Saddle designers and engineers deploy shock absorbing materials to dissipate bump forces.
Entry level saddles often use a single layer of inexpensive foam or gels which are highly susceptible to “compression set,” allowing a rider's pelvic sit-bones to sink to the hard saddle base.
The result is hard contact pressure. In addition, higher frequency vibrations from uneven surfaces make there way up into the base of the saddle, ultimately creating continuous impact to the pelvic bones, spine and soft tissues. Zeta’s 7-piece dynamic padding composite structure absorbs the bumps and dissipates the forces while eliminating contact with the saddle's rigid base.
Like carbon bike frames, Zeta ‘lays-up’ different shapes, thicknesses and densities of proprietary elastomers in each saddle to optimize force dissipation. The dynamic forces a rider feels in the body are reduced, eliminating acute sit bone pain and reducing the fatigue experienced as you ride longer.

FAQS
How does Reactive Padding™ work?
Zeta’s proprietary Reactive Padding™ is not susceptible to compression-set, whereas foam saddles are highly susceptible to this compression-set which makes them fail miserably at protecting and providing the much-desired comfort riders seek. (see Explainer Video)
What is the main difference between the different Zeta models?
Each of Zeta’s saddles is designed and made with the same high-quality elastomers for both high performance and incomparable comfort. There are only slight differences in weight due to the differing amounts of Reactive Padding™ used in each. (See detailed product descriptions).
How do I know which model makes the most sense for me?
Zeta offers three different models based primarily on your desired comfort level, then your bike type and riding style. Racing, serious fitness, or fun and recreational, we have the most comfortable and uniquely designed saddles for you!
Which model is the lightest?
Modus is our lightest, high-performance carbon racing saddle, offering greater comfort without sacrificing performance being in the lightweight range of the best carbon saddles.
Let customers speak for us
from 66 reviewsI was very pleased with my first used Optima saddle and recently bought another used Optima in the slightly wider version. Both are great. I think I am going to like the slightly larger version better.

I ordered the Ultima saddle as I was wanting a shorter road saddle on my Cannondale Supersix Evo bike. I had a Zeta Optima on it which was very comfortable, but I ended up taking it off and installing on my Stevens gravel bike. That worked great for the gravel as it gave me more padding and super comfortable on the bumpier gravel roads. I ride over 5,000 miles a year on my numerous bikes and the Zeta Optima had been my go to saddle. I replaced the Optima with the Ultima which is shorter and more comfortable for road cycling! I have over 100 miles on the Ultima and it has been super comfortable. I even tried a Specjalized 3D printed seat that my friend lent me and found the Zeta saddles to be more comfortable. The only negative if there is one, it weighs more than a saddle with minimal padding. With that said, I will take comfort every time and carry the extra grams on my saddle. Also this company has an awesome return policy if you do not like the saddle.

After three rides for a total of 65 miles on my eMTB, it’s like the saddle has disappeared beneath me. I’ve given it zero thought, which I think is amazing. My bum was always sore after about 10 miles and I would reposition myself and stand a bit to ease the pain. I would be sore for a couple of days. Consecutive ride days were torture. Not so with my Zeta saddle. Thank you Patrick. And I must say that working with Patrick was a breeze considering USPS lost the first saddle.

I’m a long time cyclist of all disciplines and chose to install the Ultima on my MTB. I’ve ridden it twice for approximately 4 hours without issue. Past symptoms were sitbone pain and saddle sores on longer rides - 3-4 hr plus. So far this saddle has proved up to the task.

the seat is excellent very comfortable high quality well made no more pain when i ride and excellent customer service you must order your

The saddle performed exactly as advertised. Very comfortable.

I've been struggling with finding a seat that's comfortable, especially for longer rides. So far so good with the Optima. You can't beat the guarantee and the customer service, so go for it!

Zia home run first bike seat I have use and enjoyed

The saddle relieves chafing and pelvic pressure points.
The flatter top profile and shorter nose are more comfortable to me. I like it so much that I bought two of them.

I have tried MTB, Specialized, Rx, Giant and Ergon... but couldn't sit on any of them for more than 50 miles. I think I must have very sensitive sit bones. The Zeta Optima feels just fine after a few rides of 20-30 miles, and I am looking forward to seeing where it will take me.

First ride was great, very comfortable and a real tangible improvement over my Koobi. I had a technical comment and dropped a note on the website. I heard. back from Patrick within an hour - on a Saturday. I am very impressed.

Superior Quality!
Superior Customer Service!
Superior Comfort!
The Optima seat I bought was extremely more comfortable than the Specialized Power Saddle I replaced! Thank you!

REACTIVE PADDING™ INVENTOR AND ZETA FOUNDER DR. PATRICK O’SHEA
As a cyclist, I’ve long been aware of the issues with mass-produced bike saddles causing numbness, post-ride soreness, and damage to the perineal region. Being a Doctor of Chiropractic who specializes in soft tissue injuries and biomechanics, I treat hundreds of cyclists, mountain bikers, triathletes, and spin enthusiasts who suffer from the build-up of adhesive scar tissue, brought on by overuse and altered body mechanics.
One day while treating a cyclist for chronic pain in the sit bones, I explained how the inability of foam saddles to dampen and absorb forces into the body was one of the main contributors to progressive pain and damage in these areas.
I’ll never forget their reaction: “Why hasn’t anyone invented a bike saddle that prevents this?
”I realized in that moment that I’ve always understood the problem but had not considered taking on the challenge myself. And because of my expertise in biophysics and soft tissue injuries (mixed with my love for cycling) I was the perfect person to solve this universal problem once and for all.
It took a long time. But after years of research and hundreds of iterations, I succeeded in my mission to create Zeta’s 7-piece, proprietary Reactive Padding™.
All of our Zeta Saddle’s provide the ultimate level of comfort and safety without sacrificing performance or speed.
Our saddles remain ultra-light and are made of the highest quality while protecting you from the painful ground reaction forces that come with riding.
By ordering your Zeta Saddle now, you’re helping us in our mission to protect riders around the world from pain, soreness, and soft-tissue damage. Thank you for joining us!
