OPTIMA, our high performance with the same sleek, low-profile design as our MODUS saddle and the greatest shock absorbing and gold standard in bike saddle comfort from our patented Reactive Padding™.
Zeta's specialized padding design for bike saddles was created by our founder to solve the complex issues of soft tissue and boney contact pressure and impact forces of the riders body against the saddle over periods of time.
Bike saddle contact pressure, friction, and the ground reaction forces coming up into the rider through the bicycle create increasing discomfort, compression of soft tissues, and potentially perineal region blood flow and/or nerve entrapment.
Dimensions: 145mm width (titanium), 155mm width (titanium), and 145mm width (carbon fiber)
Weight: 290 grams (145mm titanium), 290 grams (155mm titanium), 255 grams (145mm carbon fiber)
Materials: titanium rails and full carbon fiber with carbon rails.
Designed by a doctor and avid cyclist, Zeta Saddles patented Reactive Padding™

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

The Optima seat I bought was extremely more comfortable than the Specialized Power Saddle I replaced! Thank you!
Over the last year, I’ve experienced sit bone scar tissue on my right side. After professional bike fit, many different saddles, and changes in riding frequency, nothing had helped. I was facing the reality that my riding days were over. After talking with Patrick, he thought trying his saddle would be worth a try. I’ve been on the saddle for 2 months, and have ordered another for my second bike. My saddle issues aren’t completely gone, but the difference has been amazing. Very happy customer here!!!

Let customers speak for us
from 61 reviewsI 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.

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.
