Product Information
Full details
The Gusset S2 AM Saddle is designed for dedicated mountain bikers seeking a balance between rugged durability and ergonomic comfort. Its key strength lies in its custom foam padding and central relief channel, which effectively minimize pressure during long, technical rides, though users should note that its 140mm width may feel narrow for riders who prefer a wider platform for relaxed cruising.

FAQs
What are the dimensions of the Gusset S2 AM?
The saddle measures 280mm in length and 140mm in width.
Are the rails compatible with carbon seatpost clamps?
Yes, the CR-MO rails are standard round rails compatible with almost all mountain bike seatposts, including those with carbon cradles.
Is this saddle suitable for road cycling?
While designed for All-Mountain use, its ergonomic features make it suitable for any discipline where a performance-focused, narrow saddle is preferred.
Does the anti-slide grip wear off?
The rubberized points are integrated into the design to be long-lasting, though natural wear will occur depending on the frequency of use and riding conditions.
How do I clean the staple-less cover?
Use a soft brush and water to clear debris, then wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Troubleshooting
Saddle creaking during rides
Clean the area where the rails meet the seatpost clamp and apply a light layer of marine grease to the rail contact points.
Saddle feels slippery
Clean the top surface with mild soap and water to remove any built-up oils or mud that might interfere with the rubberized anti-slide points.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent grip in wet weather due to specialized rubber inserts
- Effective pressure relief channel for long-ride comfort
- Durable, staple-less finish resists wear and tear
- Lightweight yet robust CR-MO rail construction
Cons
- Fixed 140mm width may be too narrow for some riders
- The performance-oriented foam is firmer than gel-based comfort saddles
- Limited color options restricted to Black
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Gusset S2 AM, ensure your seatpost clamp is compatible with standard 7mm diameter round rails. During setup, adjust the tilt so the saddle is level or tilted slightly nose-down to accommodate your specific riding posture. For ongoing maintenance, wipe the saddle down with a damp cloth after muddy rides to protect the fabric cover. While the staple-less design makes it easier to keep clean, avoid using harsh chemical solvents that might degrade the rubberized anti-slide inserts. Check your rail bolts periodically to ensure they remain torqued to your seatpost manufacturer's specifications.
