Strengths: comfort plus, and great ventilationWeaknesses: overtime the frame develops cracks (I weigh 165 so not excessive weight)Bottom Line: I love this saddle! Over the years have tried many, this is by far the most comfortable. Unfortunately they are no more. Overtime mine has developed cracks which I've patched with irrigation tubing - this actually works (so far)
If anyone knows a source for these saddles I'm in!

Bottom Line: 3 years and approx 6k miles and no problems. It's just now starting to show signs of wear and it will soon be replaced with another. I'm #180 and have never had problems. Like any saddle it must be adjusted properly to get maximum comfort. By far the most comfortable saddle my sorry butt has pinched.

Strengths: comfort, comfort, comfort, comfort, comfort and cool looking.Weaknesses: A little pricey, but what isn't?Bottom Line: I bought this after trying about 25 different saddles at my LBS. All the others were either OK or really bad. This was the first where I thought "OH MAN, THIS IS GREAT!" Now I should point out that I don't ride that much but I'm a big guy at 255#. I've read the other reviews about the breakage but I'm much bigger that the other guys and no problem so far. If it does break, I'm buying another one...

Strengths: comfort, ventilation, looksWeaknesses: It *might* not be reliable (see other reviews)Bottom Line: I've tested about 15 saddles over my 30 years of serious riding. None has been as instantly comfortable as this one. I only bought it because I saw it sitting forlornly in a bike shop all by itself, with no price tags. When I asked about it, the clerk said "If you want it, I'll take $20." Now, I'll pay $20 for just an experiment, so it went in the shopping cart. I've now ridden it about 1000miles, and have been completely happy. I weighed 185 at the beginning of the period, now down to 175. So far, no problems, but I'm aware of the breakages recorded in the other reviews, so I'll be careful to watch for problems. Maybe that's why the shop essentially gave it to me. I hope that SaddleCo keeps working on it, because they have a revolutionary idea with the mesh - the experience is very much like sitting on a mesh patio chair - as you move around, the mesh moves with you, so there are no pressure points, and it is wonderfully ventilated. A very bright idea in design. I'm going to have to rate it a 5 - if it breaks, I'll come back and do another review.

Strengths: Comfort. Ventilation. Shock absorbing.Weaknesses: Keep breaking at the flexing bottom perimiter.Bottom Line: I've had three of these in 3 years. They are the most comfortable saddle I've ever used. Lots of ventilation and shock absorbing. Unfortunately, they keep breaking just after the warrantee is up. I weigh 175# which isn't too over the top, but as comfortable as it is I just gotta conclude that it's just not reliable to recommend. Hope they can reslove the breaking issue, but untill then I'll try others.
