   My Infinity E1x story:
   I purchased my 2020 specialty stump jumper during the covid era back in 2021. With life going on I did ‘t get as much time to ride as would have liked. And, the bike didn’t fit me that well so riding wasn’t that great of an experience. The bike basically sat in a room, not getting much ride time for the next 3-4 years.
   Well, 2026 coming up I decided I needed to give this bike one more try. So, I needed to get the fit right. First thing I did was take 3 inches off the length of the handle bars. Got a new stem to get the handle bars a little closer to me. It started to take shape. Last but not least came the seat. This was the deal breaker. If I couldn’t find a comfortable seat, the bike was going to be put up for sale. Who wants a 5,000 dollar bike sitting around if it’s not gonna get used, right? I tried 4 different seats/saddles with no luck. I couldn’t make it passed the 5 mile mark and I had to get off. It was a nightmare. I had 2 more seats I was gonna try and then I was gonna give up. Then…..it happened. Along came Steve. A friend of mine, who I haven’t seen for quite some time. He’s been riding for about the last 10 years, and wanted me to give his bike seat a try. It was an E1X. I rode his bike several trips around the block and I knew, this is the one. You see, I never bought in to the theory that you just have to ride the bike for a while and u will get use to it. I knew immediately this seat/saddle was going to work. I placed my order immediately, and I have to tell you, that was the longest 3 1/2 week wait in my life! The seat arrived and all I can say is I don’t even count the miles before I need to get off anymore, because I never need to! This seat saved me from physical pain, and the pain of having to sell something I deeply didn’t want to!
   My advice to people…..don’t think you have to ride miles upon miles to tell rather or not a seat is right for u. You should know right away.
   It is definitely on the pricey side, but don’t let that scare you. You will not regret purchasing the E1X!

   Thank you infinity, from the bottom of my heart, for making an outstanding product!
