Strengths: Lightweight, good padding, price - great bang for your buck.Weaknesses: Narrow seat may not be comfy for larger riders.Bottom Line: I've put about 500 miles on this saddle and really can't see myself buying any other saddle. I rode a century with it and was totally comfortable. The amount of padding and design fits me perfectly. For the price and weight (only 220 grams!), you'll be hard pressed to find a saddle that can match this one.
Note that it is a narrow saddle, so if you like wider seats, look elsewhere.

Strengths: Lightweight, comfortable and inexpensive (compared to others).Weaknesses: None.Bottom Line: Simply put, this has become my favorite saddle. For me at least, it has the perfect size/shape/padding/flex combination. I've tried more expensive saddles, including the Arione and the SLR Gel Flow, and both resulted in major discomfort (and pain!) after just a few short miles. I can spend hours on the Shadow V without ever thinking about it being there, which is the best compliment I can give to any saddle!

The wierd thing is, my bike came with a Fizik Aliante. I HATED it and sold it on Ebay. I do have three teammates that ride the Shadow V and love it.
I just bought two more for my mountain bike and tandem.

Strengths: Very light with the amount of padding on it. Racers that like narrow, light and soft saddles will like it. Good looking.Weaknesses: Not comfortable for long rides. Too narrow(for me). Too expensive new($100.)Bottom Line: Purchased it as per friend's recommendation. Nice looking saddle and very light. Too narrow, making it intolerable after 3 hours in a saddle. Padding does not work. I start feeling every bump after 1 hour ride. It it was a little wider in the rear it would me more comfortable. It is 130 mm wide. I am used to Flite(140mm wide) and that difference could be felt on longer rides. Wish it could be a little wider in the rear and slightly longer. I will be trying San Marco Concor light next. WTB will go on e-bay, not a keeper.
Favorite Ride: any
