Serfas Deputy City
Best plush saddle for casual riders prioritizing comfort on paved roads.
This is a commuter’s workhorse that prioritizes speed on pavement without sacrificing confidence in the rain. While you’ll have to deal with the old-school hassle of inner tubes, the trade-off is a rugged, long-lasting tire that grips corners as reliably as it rolls on straightaways.
