Strengths: not very expensive
mine is wearing wellWeaknesses: This saddle isn't my holy grail.Bottom Line: It's pretty decent but not perfect. Am writing this for females who, like me, seem to do better on T-shaped saddles rather than pear shaped. That wider shoulder that connects the nose to the rear of the saddle just chafes the top of my inner thighs.....and I am very slender in the thighs.
Since Specialized offers 3 widths for the rear, women with wider sitz bone widths can go with the 155. I also need the small amount of gel. together you get reasonable support for the sitz bones
My only problem w/ this saddle is that I get pubic bone crushing when in the drops or aeros. and that is important !! That relegates the avatar to shorter/slower/recovery rides. Going to pursue more aggressive cutouts for this riding season.
Favorite Ride: any ride in the sun

Strengths: Multiple Sizes
Just enough gel
Flatter/square shape (I hate rounded saddles)
Weaknesses: Squeaks- easily fixed with a little lube (I used spray lithium) where the rails enter the bodyBottom Line: Great saddle for everything from the crit course right outside my front door to the century rides. It is a firm saddle while the gel just takes the edge out of the saddle and damps out any vibration that my Ti frame doesn't.
The saddle is flat and has pretty square shoulders which works very well for me. I really appreciate the fact that this saddle comes in 3 widths all with racing/fast training in mind. Allowing the users to find the best saddle for them. This is great for those of us that don't match the traditional cyclist body but still ride hard
Similar Products Used: Specialized Alias, Terry Fly, Selle Italia Flite
Bike Setup: Spectrum Custom Ti (SRAM Force) and Schwinn Peleton Pro (Mix of Shimano and SRAM)
