Strengths: Lightweight and looks great.Weaknesses: Clicking noise from the rails within half a year.
Offers little riding position.
Does not work well at all in pot hole infested road.
Is not comfortable after 120 kms in a single day of riding. Go with something more padding, or better ride shorts.Bottom Line: Was looking for a replacement saddle when I came by a swap out bin and found this saddle for 40 bucks. Even with it's great looks and weight weenie seducing numbers, this saddle does not provide the necessary comfort for a pothole infested road.
Favorite Ride: Everywhere in Toronto
Price Paid:
$40.00
Purchased At: LBC
Similar Products Used: Bontrager Select saddle, which caused a lot of butt pain.
Bike Setup: Masi vincere with several components upgrades.

Strengths: Light, inexpensiveWeaknesses: Pain in the backside!Bottom Line: I think this is not a good saddle for the bigger guys out there, it is narrow and just plain uncomfortable!
I persisted for 3 months/1500 km but eventually called enough. One thing, it doesn't seem to be worse if you are doing 50 km or 150 km, so if it comfy for you it will most probably be good all the time, but if it is not... then you will not break it in.
Favorite Ride: THe Beach Road Run, Melbourne

Similar Products Used: Selle Italia Throok - this is one funky saddle, no review section for it, but better for my backside
Bike Setup: Look 461HR, Dura ace 10sp, Deda DAVS forks, bars and stem. I do have a carbon post, which should make this saddle better

Strengths: Comfortable and well made.
Lightweight.Weaknesses: No problemsBottom Line: I bought the saddle slightly used and since have put 1500 miles on it. The first 15 minutes felt stiff as a board but then it started to get more comfortable and more comfortable. It gives me good support for my 140 lbs and has been as comfortable as any saddle I've used in the last 30 years. For me it's more comfortable than anatomic saddles I've tried.

Strengths: Weight, priceWeaknesses: NarrowBottom Line: I only used the saddle for a couple of weeks due to the discomfort I got from it. As others have said saddles are as individual as the individual users. Although on my intial ride after my bike being built up the saddle seemed fine it didn't take long to find out it wasn't for me. I think the biggest problem for me was that it was too narrow. I was previously using a Specialized Avatar 143mm and will be looking for either another Specialized or at least something that is wider. This saddle gave me my first ever "numbness" on a ride and that was enough to pull it off.

Strengths: Ummm lighweightWeaknesses: durability, comfort (although a personal issue) as all sadles are.Bottom Line: Based on srtong opinions i tried this saddle, well i'm dissapointed for two reasons. #1 the saddle really hurts you on long ride,not to mention saddle sores itt gives you (ouch) #2 the leather on the nose wore out with out even a full year of use. That was enough for me, so i got a san mrco era and all is well, although not as light,but no pain in the a#@ or wallet
