Serfas make very good quality bicycle parts.  This saddle features water proof so flex cover.  Generous Friction free e-gel smooths out the bumps and makes riding a bike so much more fun.   Do yourself a favor and upgrade your seat.  This is a great choice.  The seat is 11.02 inches long and 6.92 inches in width.   The so flex cover is a bit more durable then the lycra seat covers that really need the rider to wear lycra for longevidy.
