Disappears
Weakness:
Cost I rode an SMP Evolution which was great but the leather wore out, and a SMP Dynamic which was even better with its butt bump for extra power but the leather on that started to wear too. Rather than fork out for another replacement that would wear out again, I took the plunge, got one of these and was amazed.

Strength:
Fits for smaller females RARE! Strong and durable, very comfortable after a bit of adjustment ( should have a fitter do it for you ), color is cool, blood flow stays at peak with no restrictions , extremely light, best saddle I've ever ridden on.
Weakness:
price, very narrow so 80% of women can't use it. I've been through several saddles and must say this one is the finest yet. It fits very well to my body frame ( 110lbs, 5'4 tall ). It's very rare to find a saddle this narrow that properly holds the sit bones. Ladies, if your in great condition and have a narrow pelvic you will LOVE this saddle. Most male riders I've raced with can't believe it's comfortable but IT IS! If you have the money and you still haven't found that perfect saddle give this one a shot! Have it fitted properly or you'll hate it. Have put about 6,000 miles on it and it's awesome! Good luck! |

Unique saddle shape requires proper fitting; I wouldn't recommend self-adjustment with this saddle
Was able to snag this saddle for a fantastic price of $160 on craigslist from a rich buy-before-I-try doctor type. I had been having really bad issues with numbness and saddle sores on previous saddles for any rides over 40 miles, and this saddle looked too interesting to pass up.

Costs a million bucks :-) For the past 2 years I have been riding a toupe saddle, it took me over 1500 km to get used to and like it.

Strength:
comfort, weight, comfort, cool looks, comfort - wait, did I already say that?
Weakness:
Price until I realized that I was in total comfort! I have tried many seats in my riding career but this one takes the cake. I chose the Evolution model as the price was right from whom I purchased it. The first impression was that it was a little on the hard side. I ended up with a slight nose down position which felt the most comfortable. After several 2+ hour training rides I have felt NO numbness or discomfort with the old twig and berries! At first glance one might think that there is a great possibility of getting something important trapped in the gap (maybe if you ride naked...). I can not feel the gap at all. This seat is truly a joy to ride!! I just wish I was in shape to ride as fast as it looks!! |
