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 13 reviewsI was using a foam padded saddle and was having issues with saddle soreness. I came upon the Zeta Optima and decided to give it a try. When I first started using the Optima saddle, I really didn't feel much of a difference for the first 15 minutes, nor the first 30 minutes when comparing the ride to my old foam saddle. I am thinking to myself, what is all the fuss about with the Optima. Then 45 minutes into the ride,,,hmm! Then one hour into the ride...wow! Then over one hour plus and I am sold. No saddle sores and I am using less chamois cream and feeling much better on the ride. Let me caution you though, with any new saddle, make sure it is properly measured and fit for your personal riding preferences. 5 Stars!
After a few rides on my Specialized Roubaix and my Zeta, I knew this was the cure to my sit bone aching. I just got a proper bike fit with new saddle as well, and I couldn’t be more pleased.
I’m old (67) and big (6’6”, 275). This was my first ride of the season. The saddle is always an issue for the first ride. I’ve been riding the same Specialized Body Geometry saddle for probably 25 years. It’s great that once you get your butt broken in, it’s a good saddle for long distance. I tried the Optima today, 156mm ti rails, and it just disappeared under me. It was so comfortable that I didn’t have to think about it the entire ride. I’ll update when I get more miles on it, but I expect it to stay comfortable.

I'm happy to say the road saddle is great! Unfortunately I haven't been on a longer ride on it but I'm doing 60 to 100 miles a week in 10 mile increments commuting to and from the shop. I don't think about the saddle much and that's a good thing. It's one of the best saddles I've used to date. I find that with any saddle I've used in the past there's a point where I end up switching to another preferred saddle before doing the reverse ad infinitum, sometimes mixing in a new saddle. I think I did get maybe a 25 miler in at some point and again, not spending any notable time thinking about my saddle is a welcome change. I did find that one of my cycling shorts is less comfortable on the Zeta saddle than previous saddles. Presumably a shape or consistency of the foam combined with the chamois design? It's a denser chamois.
Wife's new Trek FX4 was not comfortable. Replaced the saddle with the Ultima eight months ago...... Happy wife, happy life !
Not more saddle issues and her rides remain comfortable as she is increasing distance & duration.
Zeta’s “ULTIMA” saddle is a dream come true! I love riding my Peloton so much
more now! I also have an E-bike that I commute on and it’s super easy to switch
my Zeta saddle between the two. I have zero discomfort or soreness during or
after my multiple spin sessions and e-bike rides each week. Thank you ZETA!

My trail rides are so much more enjoyable now with my ZETA OPTIMA saddle! To say it’s a lot more comfortable is only part of the story. It actually conforms to my body, my pelvic sit bones sink into the padding but, do not bottom out and feel the hard sit-bone pressure felt on all previous saddles. You can feel the shock absorbing padding working as you ride. Love the sleek, low-profile design too!
My new OPTIMA saddle by Zeta Saddles is absolutely the most comfortable saddle ever made! I can’t believe how comfortable it is. There’s such a huge difference in comfort level and performance. Zeta’s Reactive Padding™ absorbs all the bumps and vibrations, and doesn’t have that increasing sense of hard contact pressure and discomfort I’m so used to with my previous saddles. 5-Stars!

After going through seven road saddles in ten years, I finally found a light weight, high-performance carbon saddle that actually gives me greater comfort and support. I ride even longer and more often without feeling that typical saddle hardness, sit-bone soreness and groin area numbness that occurred during most rides, especially on my longer rides.
Wanted to know how your saddle feels. Over the last few weeks, since I put your saddle on my mountain bike, I have been on 15 rides for about 230 miles.
After I put the saddle on, (which was easy, with the open top to the saddle), the moment I sat on the saddle I could feel the comfort. During my rides, (road several mountain bike trails), I noticed the design did help protect tissue in my groin and sit bone. I have had 10 different saddles on various mountain bikes; the Zeta is by far the most comfortable padding and performance with the titanium rails I have ridden on.
I have been riding the saddle for 6 weeks now and the numbness problem I was experiencing is well, solved. I was surprised to be honest. I mounted it on my classic Bianchi steel bike and have gone as long as a century riding it. For me, it works. I do ride with a nice bib under my casual pocketed shorts. Vance

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!
