Strengths: Exceedingly comfortable. Saddle has a flat/wide (not too wide) back, yet a narrow nose. Some others (Serfas) have too thick of a nose that causes my legs to chafe.Weaknesses: Price. But, others are more expensive. Your tukas is worth it (at least mine is).Bottom Line: I purchased the older design a few years ago, among some others. I generally felt that it, and its kin, were some of the most comfortable saddles I had used. Price scared me off from another for several years, but in that time I invested more money in saddles I hated. I finally bit the bullet and bought 2 when they were on sale (and I had a coupon to boot). Dear lord why did I wait so long. The newer design is even more comfortable that before. The main difference from others is that it is comfy over a wider range of the saddle (most have a limited sweet spot, if any, of comfort whereas this one is ok if you slide up for TT or back a little for hard grinding climbs). It is also light an has a little bit of shock absorbing flex. It is a little stupid to put on my training bike (computrainer) but I can't find anything else as comfy for long rides, so what the heck. The jewels are worth a few extra bucks.

Strengths: Comfy, long nose, non-slip fabric.Weaknesses: A little bit gaudy looking (but it is Italian).Bottom Line: A very comfy saddle, even on the first ride. I bought mine used for twenty bucks, like new condition. I went on my first ride with it yesterday, a 75-mile road ride (on a CAAD 3 Cannondale, not the smoothest riding bike), and it proved super-comfortable. It passed the post-ride pee test with flying colors, no pain whatsoever. The long (and well-padded)nose allows a lot of fore-and-aft movement and the non-slip fabric keeps you from sliding around inadvertently. Saddles are a matter of personal preference and anatomy, but this one works for me.

Strengths: Looks, comfortWeaknesses: could be a little lighterBottom Line: Great saddle. I have the white version and has yet to become marked with wear and dirt (yeah I only have had it a month). Comfortable to me, I still have to adjust my position on the saddle from time to time, but I have had to do that with every saddle I've owned
