I just bought a Black Market DJ bike and it has an RMB saddle that is too big. Needless to say, I'm new to DJ, but have been mountain biking for years. I did a bunch of searches and could not find much on DJ saddles. What options are out there for DJ rail saddles that won't break the bank? Most searches brought the DMR and Deity saddles, but they have too many colors. I'm specifically looking for a black saddle. Thanks.

I like Gusset and Tioga saddles. They both have railed and pivotal versions.

I'm liking one of the Gusset ones, but not quite there yet. Keep them coming. Thanks.

I have the Odyssey Aitken railed, but it looks like it only comes in pivotal now...

I've done quite a bit or research on DJ saddles and it seems there is not a lot of information out there. Are there any benefits to a pivotal seat? It seems there are a few 27.2mm pivotal seatposts out there. Should I stick with a rail seat or get a new pivotal seat and seatpost? Any suggestions?

I'm assuming you mean a pivotal seatpost and seat?

This Chromag seat is nice, but it's expensive.

Other than the already mentioned companies, who else makes DJ railed saddles? I already have the rail post, so it makes sense (cheaper) to just get a new rail saddle instead of a new pivotal seat and seatpost. Thanks.

Most people I know run Bmx seats on their dj bikes. Black market sells seats which are very similar to other brands Bmx style seats made by Velo.

Check out Dans Comp. Cheap, easy and near where you live.
