Strength:

Very comfortable, durable, rails are strong.

Weakness:

After a couple of years and much abuse, the covering started coming off on the sides. May be heavy for cross country riders.

Great seat. After using this seat I will never buy a different seat. This is the most comfortable seat I have ever ridden. This seat has survived many wrecks and is still in perfect working order. The sides of the seat covering is now starting to come off, but what can you expect after 4 years of hard riding. I highly recommend this seat.

Strength:

Great for Freeriding and Downhilling. Suprisingly comfortable for the size. easier to steer the bike when downhilling (you can really grip this w/ the legs).

Weakness:

STEEL RAILS!!!! Very Bad, and the manufacturer now knows this.

The seat is sweet, but you absolutely must get the new chromoly rails. Most of them on the market are steel rails and the difference is huge.The first day I used this was for a day of downhilling, dropped of a 3 footer amd the rails completely buckled upwards and bent sideways. It really sucked, because it was now junk after 6 hours of use. Called Azonic and they said they are now upgrading all these seats to the chromoly rails, so DO NOT GET THE STEEL RAILS!

Good news, I called Azonic and they told me to send them the seat and they would install new chromoly rails, or give me a new one with the chrmoly rails already in place.

***Value rating will be based on the Chromoly rails!!!!!

Strength:

very comfortable and a nice saddle doesnt get wet from dew if u leave it outside. rails are good when made of steel.

Weakness:

none yet but that can change easily.

a good buy if you get the steel rails.

Azonic makes it sound like a bombproof product...Marketing

Weakness:

Nothing new here...rails suck

Looks good in the pictures, but it gave me a complex about getting a fat a$$ over the winter like the chicks here, but my riding shorts still fit from last season. Never knew it was so easy to bend 8mm rails and my tires have only been a few feet off the ground...Should have spent the $40 on a$$ padding and put my old flight saddle on...I'm a sucker and fell victim to their marketing...boohoo

Strength:

looks cool cause it says azonic, rails "look" tough

Weakness:

uncomfortable, rails are junk!!!!!after a few drops they are bent, broke faster than my cheap norco factory seat which costs a fraction as much

after emailing azonic, they said they would give me a new seat, but im selling it as soon as i get it. It sucks. Don't buy it if you think its tough cause its not.

OUTLOOK!!!!---which cheat me to buy it >_<

Weakness:

the RAILS.....looks like banananow...start to bent after 2 rides.....i'm just doing some 3 foot drops and it bent....

luckily i'm not dropping a cliff with it, it really bents easily, never try a crappy saddle like this, really disappointed, it looks really attractive....but the rails are just like S!#$....last for two rides only...and it cost $56 which I can buy a few speciallized body-geometry...which can last longer..D@M^ It..!!!

Strength:

Looks nice
Decent length
Reasonable price (but you are paying for Azonic name as Serfas who make this saddle sell it $10 cheaper)

Weakness:

Not very comfy
Rails bend very easily

This saddle looks nice in the box, but use it for anything remotely like cycling and the rails bend real quick. I'm now on my 2nd saddle, the 1st one was replaced by the shop after the rail bents following 2 months of light use. I hardly ever sat on it! Just the occasional wheelie now and again.

The rails on my 2nd saddle have started bending after 2 weeks. AVOID THIS SADDLE LIKE THE PLAGUE. ITS A WASTE OF YOUR MONEY AND TIME. what idiot designs a DH saddle with aluminium rails..DUH?
