ABSTRACT:
An off-road bicycle having a resilient nose for cushioning impacts when a rider shifts his weight forward on a bicycle. The saddle, constructed from a shell having a relatively narrow nose and wide rear section and a suspension rail attached to the front and rear parts of the seat, includes a resilient pad placed underneath the nose between the shell and the front end of the rail. A rigid shim placed over the rail distributes a load from the rail across a substantial surface area of the pad.
