Strengths: Light weight, good upper material.Weaknesses: Too soft for me. Puts too much pressure on the perineum. On the narrow side for trail riding.Bottom Line: My pave' is far too soft for my taste. I bought it online so only found it out when it arrived. Unconfortable even when riding around town.

Strengths: Good quality, various color options for those who follow fashionWeaknesses: As with almost all saddles these days, the shell is not part of the design. The shells are ridiculousy rigid and offer no flexibility anywhere along the plane, regardless of shape or padding technology. I still prefer my mid 1970's Cinelli Unicanitor over every saddle I've tried.Bottom Line: I'd have to say that, if you like buying a new saddle every year or so, then try this because you may not have a particular desire geared to consistent comfort, on or off road. If style is your thing, you may have met yuor soul mate here. I still follow funtion over fashion and would not reccomend this to someone with "Saddle issues" Terry and WTB make the best newer saddles on the market.

Strengths: the color matched the frame...Weaknesses: the 'gel hole'... i dont know why they put that there, it dosnt helpBottom Line: its a seat, a place to place yer butt when the time is right(not too long-itll hert!) not for the weak of crotch... for 80 bucks, they shouldve at least covered the 'hole' seat. at least its light

Strengths: Comfy,it fit my butt nicely.Light weight. Nice shock absorbtion.Weaknesses: It broke off of the rails, the nose of the saddle is held by 2 tiny little 1/2" long screws in plastic. A large amount of leverage is placed on these. The long ride without a saddle was not pleasant. I weigh 175 lbs. and am a trailrider,no freeride,dirtjumping etc. so I dont believe that the saddle was overburdoned.Bottom Line: It was great for a month. Fizik's US importer replaced it with a new one really fast. I'm just worried that it'll break like the first one.

Strengths: Comfort, durability, looksWeaknesses: noneBottom Line: This is a great saddle for me. Saddle comfort obviously is a very personal issue, however the giro pave is awesome. I have it on both my road and mountain bikes. Durability has been good, looks great! I rate it 4 chilis just because there is no bike component made yet that rates 5.

Strengths: Light, strongWeaknesses: NoneBottom Line: Took 6 months to break this in. Was worried about the TI rails (heavy rider) but no problems. Cool look, not the usual stock saddle. Like the many colour and material options available when when using Fizik's online order shop. Delivery took only 4 days!! Very satisfied with this product.

Strengths: This saddle is very light, it also is tough and looks nice. It is very stiff as well. The saddle uses nice materials and is well made.Weaknesses: It's really hard! Don't even think of trying to ride your biek around with this seat without padded shorts. Even with the right equipment it really hurts. My legs get tired faster with this seat because I have to stand most of the time. There isn't very much padding under the leather, and the padding is very hard.Bottom Line: This saddle may appeal to riders who are very concerned about weight. It might also appeal to racers, or anyone who spends little time on the saddle. I don't like this saddle, I took it off my bike and replaced it with the Specialized Prolong that I had. It's narrow, so if you like to brace your legs against the saddle while your going over technical terrain, this might not be a good choice.
