Strengths: I found this saddle to be comfortable from day oneWeaknesses: noneBottom Line: saddles are pretty subjective. this one came on my bike and I happened to really really like it. I will be holding on to it for a while. If you are looking for a saddle, check this one out, it is worth a look.

Strengths: Comfort, competitively priced, money back guaranteeWeaknesses: no too many, maybe the time limit on the guaranteeBottom Line: I'm very happy with this saddle, sized up for the yellow (middle) size. Both my hardtail and rigid SS have this saddle, and I ride for at least 12 hours per week in technical Mid-Atlantic singletrack. While I won't go so far as to say that I forget that it's there, I will say that it is very comfortable for me. I have mine tilted slightly nose up from level. It's a fairly flat saddle, which I prefer. Easy to get off the back end. Get sized up, give it a try - you've got nothing to lose with the trial period no questions asked guarantee.
Similar Products Used: Gobi XM (too narrow for me), WTB Rocket V (too much of a whale tail -- I prefer flatter saddles)

Strengths: ComfortableWeaknesses: None yetBottom Line: Been using for about 3 months now with no issues. I'm happy with the decision to go with this saddle, very comfortable even on the rides that have been as long as 3 hrs.

Strengths: Light, 3 different widths, good sit bone support.Weaknesses: None for me - I have had people tell me they took a while to break theirs in, but I didn't have any problems.Bottom Line: I fit the middle width size perfectly and it works exactly as advertized. I have had no issues where it counts since getting the better suppor for my sit bones. I recommend trying one out to anyone who is having issues with their current saddle.
Similar Products Used: Older Bontrager RL saddle, several WTB saddles, Fizik Gobi.

Strengths: Comfort, lightweight, good looksWeaknesses: Haven't found any yet.Bottom Line:
I have been looking for ages to get a comfy saddle and when I bought a Trek Superfly AL it came with an Evoke saddle. After a few 8 hours rides it was super comfy. I bought the Evoke RL to fit to my CX bike. So far so good after a 100km ride last weekend. One of the best saddles I have tried.

Strengths: Light weight, yet sturdy enough to take crashes without ripping or breakingWeaknesses: It's no where near as comfy as any other quality Mnt bike saddle that I have.
I had the LBS measure my tail end with their sit-on-the pad measuring system.
It doesn't have anywhere near enough room for my jewels and being an 'anatomically designed' saddle, I wonder for what species???Bottom Line: I gave this saddle 3 months to 'break in'. I use tons of Bontrager gear... bars, wheelsets.. etc. and usually love their stuff. But this saddle is painful after 30 minutes of riding. I really wanted to like this product, it seems like they put a lot of thought into the materials and aesthetic appeal. But after dozzens of adjustments it's at best uncomfortable on even shot rides. I thought maybe I was being overly critical, so I replaced the RL with one of my 5 year old saddles and went back out for another 30 minute loop. It was like night and day. The older saddle was MUCH more comfortable. Saddles are obviously a personal preference, but for me the Evoke RL is only good for very short rides. Anything over an hour and I wouldn't be able to concentrate on anything but my aching ars. I did a 45 minute loop last night and I still have sore spots.

Strengths: very light for amount of padding, good curved front and rear for easy on and off. well padded for seated on mildly off road without having to stand on pedals all the time. get measured, get yer bum bones on the right bit.Weaknesses: none so farBottom Line: good saddle for comfort and strength, very easy to move around on and nice wide nose for those long climbs when you want to be over the front. the rear's nicely squared off so not to catch shorts on. quite light but rxl is even lighter. best saddle i've used in years.
