This model has been demoed or previously mounted.
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.
Available with titanium rails and full carbon fiber with carbon rails.

Designed by a doctor and avid cyclist, Zeta Saddles patented Reactive Padding™

This saddle takes the edge off of all variety of bumps and roughness.
The ZETA optima resolved sitting issues. Comfortable! Used on a two day shakedown overnighter ride and then a 5 day bikepacking tour in Kentucky. All good for longer trips.
Riding on Zwift I find that I sit a lot more than I would on the road. This saddle actually made my long rides less painful, No numbness or soreness at any point
Don't have the paper work to return. Please send it
Thanks
The optima is the 6th saddle I've tried in my search for comfort on my bike and it feels like it might be the one. Its the right width for me and the padding is softer than others i've tried while still providing support. Yes, it was pre-owned but it looks brand new.
Let customers speak for us

Chris Destefano’s Cycling calendars are absolutely a must have…for yourself, your friends, family, etc. He puts his heart and soul into his cycling photography through the year and then chooses his most beautiful, most epic images for the calendar. HIGHLY recommend this piece of art for your wall…we have all of his calendars and have really enjoyed them through the years!
Without a doubt, CD’s photography is a work of art! Each month’s photo is frame worthy! Not only have I ordered one for the past 5 years, but also ordered one for my LBS last year. And they’ve got it hanging in their newest shop up front on the wall right by the register!😉. These calendars make great Hanukkah and Christmas gifts too! They’ll be gone quickly, so I recommend ordering today! I’ve got 2 on the way again.
Thanks again, Chris, for capturing nature with an artists eye! Can’t wait for the new one!
You put this on your wall and you're guaranteed to look at it every time you walk by. Where is that? How did he get that shot? and I wish I could ride there are questions you will ask every time you see these EPIC pics.

Thanks again for the ultima and the baseball cap!! I just placed another order I’m on my 3rd one now!!

I’ve tried practically every brand of saddle (some more than once), even a couple 3D printed saddles. The Zeta Optima is by far the best fitting, and most comfortable saddle I've tried. Before the Zeta I could only manage 45-60 minutes pain-free; with the Zeta I’m still comfortable after 2+ hours of riding!

It's the shape I prefer and is very well-made with just enough cushion. I'm considering getting a second one for my other road bike that has the saddle I love so much it's now held together with duck tape.
1. Unparalleled customer support. Dr. Patrick seems sincerely committed to bringing seat comfort to the biking world.
2. Ultima is the best saddle (of 5) that I've had on this road bike (an older Trek Madone). At the start of a ride, the saddle seems firmer than I initally had expected--apparently, in order to avoid having the cushioning bottom out (so to speak). More importantly, though: The Ultima is *more comfortable than any of my previous saddles a few miles in and beyond, when it matters the most.
This is a game changer, I switched to Zeta based on a recommendation and was shocked my how much more comfortable this seat is than anything else I've tried. No pain or soreness whatsoever.
