Submitted by rj a Cross Country Rider from NC
Date Reviewed: March 1, 2005
Duration Product Used:6 months
Strengths:Nice design which is well made and looks good. pretty light as well. this is a great cycling value for the price and performance given.
Weaknesses:stiff ass seat.
Similar Products Used:Spec Body Geometry-ok WTB Rocket V--fav so far
Terry Ti-fly--good
Bike Setup:Turners Rock
Bottom Line:This is a good seat if you ask me. Its not my favorite only because its very stiff, almost too stiff. My sit bones are broken in but this seat causes the bum to hurt after extended rides in the saddle(typically around 2.5 to 3 hours). I may switch back over to the Terry for a little while again and see how that goes.

Date Reviewed: June 25, 2003
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $70.00
Purchased At:Koobi Website
Strengths:Relieves pressure on the nerve.
Weaknesses:Too ridged, the are sharp peaks the raise up and place pressure on the outside of your taint.
Similar Products Used:Selle Italia TRI cut out.
Bike Setup:Lemond Ti
Bottom Line:Their isn's any pressure straight down the center, but the ridges put extra pressure on the aretries that feed certain parts. I found the this saddle actually made things worse, for me. Everyone is different, and this saddle might work for you, but after 2 hour rides, things start to shrivle up and it takes awhile before I feel 100% down there. Maybe it is just a mental thing for me, you will have to decide for youself.

Submitted by mtbiker a Cross Country Rider from Asia
Date Reviewed: January 26, 2002
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $70.00
Purchased At:lbs
Strengths:Ergo seat. Lightish (262gms). Sleek compared to some others. Italian made. Tough enough even though lacking kevlar sides. Manganese rails.
Weaknesses:Manganese coating chipping off rails. But no big deal.
Similar Products Used:TT, SLR, SDG among others.
Bike Setup:19.8lb hardtail
Bottom Line:I liked the Au Chrono so much I took off the TT off my bike, even though gaining 100 grams (yes, self confessed weight weenie).
Immensely comfortable and durable too with the too often crashes I experience.
I'd get another, no doubt.
