$90.00 | | Purchased At: | Toronto Int'l Bike Show | | Strengths: | This review is for the SLR Gel XC Kevlar. Great saddle, light, comfy, enough shell flex to make up for little padding. The XC model has been durable for me. | | Weaknesses: | Not a freeride product. It's been durable, but looking at it I know it could tear in a hard crash.
The scoop at the back limits the number of seating positions. | | Similar Products Used: | Lots of saddles, cheap and expensive. My other fav (for road) is SI Gel Flite. | | Bike Setup: | Dual suspension XC. | | Bottom Line: | I've got 4000km on this saddle, and it has been hands-down my favorite ever. I'm 170lbs, average build, and I like dents / cutouts. Obviously, at 130mm wide and 220g 'comfy' is relative - bike shorts are mandatory. Saddle fit is very personal, so my 5 chili's is based on those factors. No annoying numbness, no thigh rub on the nose, no hotspots, not too padded, but just enough. I wouldn't suggest it for long road rides (not enough sitting positions, I prefer my SI Gel Flite), but hey, it's an XC saddle. The $200+ msrp here in Canada is more than anyone should have to pay for a saddle, but I got a good deal so I'll give it the value rating I received. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$69.00 | | Purchased At: | Online on clearance | | Strengths: | Very comfortable, lightweight, well built, overall good durability | | Weaknesses: | Graphics wear off fairly quickly | | Similar Products Used: | SLR, Sette race saddle, WTB | | Bike Setup: | Salsa Caballero | | Bottom Line: | I currently own two mountain bikes (hardtail and full suspension) and two road bikes. All four have this saddle. I have tried others,but this has been the most comfortable by far. The hartail takes abuse and the saddle helps make the ride comfy. If you want a light and comfortable saddle, try this one. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
