Review: KranX Base 145 Road and Commuter Saddle in Black – cheap as chips but super comfy with it cycling BobElliotOnline
The KranX range of saddles stretches to four models, which are effectively the same design in four widths: This model, measured at 145mm, is the narrowest, and is aimed at road riders and commuters. There's a 160mm mountain bike and commuting version, and two wider saddles aimed squarely at the leisure and comfort market. In terms of construction it's pretty standard stuff.
The base is pretty flat side to side with a slightly concave profile front to back. There's a central cut-out to ward off any excess pressure that could cause numbness, and the wings are rounded off toward the edges. It's a normal length at 275mm, and the nose is neither particularly wide, nor particularly narrow. At 335g it's on the heavy side for a road saddle, even when compared to other cheaper saddles we've reviewed on the site.
I am such a person – 142mm is my ideal width – and I have to say, I've found this saddle to be incredibly comfortable. Big wads of padding are by no means a guarantee of comfort; some of the most comfortable saddles I've ever used have been pretty thin. But the amount and consistency of the PU foam used here was just the ticket for me, and I love it.
