Strengths:    Good looking, easy to keep clean.

Weaknesses:    Very uncomfortable for me.

Bottom Line:

One word for this saddle. OUCH! It looks nice, and is pretty popular, but it just didn't fit me. I also think the leather version is better. The kevlar wears well, and is easy to clean, but personally, I like the feel of leather better.

Strengths:    Comfort, weight, price.

Weaknesses:    None

Bottom Line:

The search is over, this is the seat for me (for now)! I've been trying different saddles all year and finally settled on this one. It is a combination of comfort, light weight and is in a somewhat affordable price range.

Strengths:    Only right stoaters are drawn to my bottom as because I use this seat.

Weaknesses:    It breaks if an American tourist uses it - er that is a strength sorry.

Bottom Line:

On the button Martinello! This seat is for SERIOUS riders only. If you don’t ride seriously don’t even look at the picture of this mega-cool seat; you are not worthy. Big arsed American tourists ruin the coolness of this blazingly cool seat. I love the way men AND women slow their cars just to admire my lovely spandex clad skinny but pressed onto this magically cool seat that matches my bike. It is not ok for people to use bikes in ways other that you and I, ESPECIALLY if they have large bottoms.

Here is a list of people that are good enough for this seat:

Martinello
Me
Danish people who ride Danish bikes
Piers Ploughman
Hamlet
Danish people who use American technology to complain about Americans.

Strengths:    Excellent shape, quality materials, reasonably priced. Comes in A LOT of different colours and styles for the ones wishing to colour match the rest of the bike.

Weaknesses:    eerh - none - buy it.

Bottom Line:

This is THE saddle for any serious road racer. If you're an overweight American cyclo tourist looking for the ultimate comfort for your fat behind - stay away! If you want a high performance, light weight saddle with ample room for various riding positions look no further. I've used the gel padded version of the Flite for last 1½ years. It has a bit of gel placed in strategical places but it still remains firm.
This remains the saddle against which all other saddles are benchmarked!
