Strengths: FirmWeaknesses: Poor shape- the gradual wing design causes serious pressure points resulting in saddle sores
- the slight cradle shape puts too much pressure on the penal areaBottom Line: This saddle SUCKS!! I've given it a more than fair chance accumulating over 2500km on it since installing it in February and I can honestly say I absolutely hate it. I used Bontrager's saddle measuring device and I read their technological write-ups and everything checked out, but in practical use the saddle did not perform at all. The shape is awful! If it's not giving me the worst saddle sores I've ever had in countless thousands of kms of riding my junk is going numb from moving myself forward to relieve pressure on said saddle sores. This saddle is absolutely awful.. Now I know why Bontrager offers a 90 day NQA return policy... they must have realised the serious problems these saddles cause and tried to recoup their losses...
Favorite Ride: Fluffy white clouds hills trees on a windy highway and no traffic but me and my compadres
Price Paid:
$100.00
Purchased At: LBS
Similar Products Used: Selle Italia SLR TT, Selle Italia Flite, previous Bontrager saddles (also garbage)
Bike Setup: Madone 6.9 pro frame with standard road components.

Strengths: Light weightWeaknesses: I would probably have not bought the saddle if it was full price but with the sale I figured I would try it.Bottom Line: I bought this saddle on clearance at the lbs. The employees informed me about the 90 guarantee so I purchased it. I felt the discomfort on the first few rides with the saddle but ever since then I have enjoyed it and would recommend it.

Bottom Line: This saddle came with my 2010 Trek Madone 6.5. I experienced severe pain around my sit bones on any ride over 30 miles. This is the only saddle I have ever returned, but it was unbearable.

Strengths: Comfort.Weaknesses: Poor fit & finish. Poor cover material quality. Rails need to be longer.Bottom Line: I had been riding a Fizik Aireon Wingflex the last 5,000 miles. Anything longer than an hour ride numbness would set in. Typical ride time for me is 2 to 3 hours. Saw all the articles about the R&D they did developing this seat so I thought I'll give it a try. Checked them out at my LBS. First thing I noticed was the quality was spoty on the cover. On the nose and at the rear the cover material was cracked or worn off or wrinkled. Got measured on the gel machine. Wanted to buy on but couldn't see paying full retail for poor fit & finish. Maybe if Lance rode it Trek would do something about the quality. So I bought one brand new on E-bay for about 70 bucks. I rode it for about 3 days wearing new RXL bib shorts so this I would start fresh. Was sore as hell. Took 2 days off the bike to rest & heal up. After playing with the seat angle I can honestly say that I expierence no numbness at all. The saddle disapears under me. Never even think about it on the ride.
Favorite Ride: Red Rock Las Vegas
