The Terry Butterfly Tri Gel saddle is designed for long, long distance riders and triathletes who put lots of saddle time in without taking breaks. The Butterfly Tri Gel has a layer of sculpted gel that is concentrated across the top and at the nose of the saddle, with additional inserts at the ischial tuberosites in the rear. This doesn't add much in terms of weight, but sure takes the edge off when you live on your saddle. The smooth leather cover is perforated to enhance breathability and reduce heat build-up.
Weaknesses: None for the recreational long distance cyclist.
Bottom Line:
Love this saddle. Bought it for my first cross country cycling trip from San Diego to Washington DC with Ride for World Health. Rode on it every day for 2 months with longest ride ~120 miles. Extremely comfortable. Gel is very kind to the sits bones but seat is still stiff enough to prevent sinking into the seat and rubbing/chaffing on other parts of the bum. Very minimal chaffing even on the longest days. Held up great and still as comfortable as when I got it. Would reccomend to any recreational/long distance cyclist.
