Submitted by Nick a from Tempe, AZ
Date Reviewed: March 22, 2002
Duration Product Used:3 months
Purchased At:www.webcyclery.com
Strengths:Lighter than freeride/DH saddles and softer than XC saddles
Kevlar sides
Good width
Very comfortable
Glitter!
Weaknesses:Haven't found any yet.. heavier than a uni seat for trials I suppose, but I have to travel on my bike
Similar Products Used:Selle Italia Octavia, Azonic loveseat, Odyssey freestyle, Selle San Marco concor lite (ouch)
Bike Setup:Zebdi, built like it should be
Bottom Line:This is a great seat. Not too expensive, not too heavy, the kevlar holds up in nasty concrete crashes, and it's very comfy. I don't know about the rail strength issues mentioned in the review below, because I don't land on mine.

Good place for your butt. Get one.

Submitted by Chris Carey a Weekend Warrior from Suffolk
Date Reviewed: June 23, 2000
Favorite Trail:Ufford
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Strengths:Looks alright, and the material on the sides holds up very well and doesn't scuff
Weaknesses:Weak rails. I snapped mine after landing only a little hard on one side. The whole thing bent backwards and sideways, and then the front snappped downwards, this broke any plastic that was under there.
Similar Products Used:X-lite
Bike Setup:Zaskar, Mavic, XTR, DMR, L&M, Planet X
Bottom Line:This is a good seat. It holds up quite well, but does finally brake, after a dodgy landings. Quite comfortable, and considering it is much cheaper than the X-lite and exactly the same it can't be bad.
Value Rating:5Overall Rating:4
