Strengths: 1.) light weight
2.) sleek looking in appearance
3.) the hole really does relieve some pressure
4.) just the right amount of padding
5.) has lasted for 7 yearsWeaknesses: I would like the rails to be a bit stiffer and not flex - I imagine that also helps add to the over all strenght?
maybe some more bomb proof stitchingBottom Line: I love this seat! I say get one and your arse will love you again!
Favorite Trail: the stuff goats are afraid of

Strengths: Very high quality materials and workmanship. Very light weight.Weaknesses: Doesn't fit my butt.Bottom Line: Nice saddle that I have tried to like but it just doesn't fit my sit bones. Ridden it twice and it just isn't getting any better.
If you want to buy one cheap, I'm selling mine. I still have the box.

from New Orleans AreaDate Reviewed: May 6, 2007
Strengths: Fairly light. Looks cool. Well designed.Weaknesses: Needs a little breaking in.Bottom Line: Had to reposition the seat a couple of times to get it right but now that's set, I'm lovin' it. Perfect pressure points on the glutimus maximus and you set your johnnies in the open channel. Had my reservations at first but it's good to go. I may have got it cheaper than listed b/c I almost alway have a 10-15% discount with Nashbar. I hear about the gelaround and may give it a shot on my other bike.

from Stevens Point, WI, USADate Reviewed: July 12, 2006
Strengths: After the first ride this saddle formed so well I figured my wife would be mad. If ya know what I'm sayin'? It holds you comfortably on serious singletrack. It's so light I dropped a full pound off my ride. I can ride all day and all night with this leather. And...the colors available make it easy to match to your scheme.Weaknesses: It looks fancier than I'd like. But, whado I care about looks.Bottom Line: If you can get this saddle for anything under 50 bucks, do it. The weight and the mold will surely please.
Favorite Trail: Trail 6 - Standing Rocks - Portage County, WI - Challenge It.

Strengths: Nice Saddle after you break it in. Cuts down on the numbness.Weaknesses: Breaking it in can be a pain, but is that really a weakness?Bottom Line: I really like this saddle. The only thing that I might regret is not getting the gel-a-round model. Great saddle to do some distance riding.

Strengths: Looks great, hole in center really works not just there for show. VERY comfortable esp long rides or offroads. Lightweight.Weaknesses: noneBottom Line: Suprisingly comfortable I tot with the pathetic amount of cushion I was really gonna suffer on off roads but it turns out much more comfortable than my original Giant saddle. I would recommend anyone to upgrade to this comfy and if given a chance I would buy them again.

Strengths: Hole in center is great relieve

Strengths: Gel padding a plus...center cut-out, provides some flexWeaknesses: not recommended if you have a big ass!!Bottom Line: Very happy with the San Marco saddle. Comfortable and plush and provides some saddle flex to contour to your body. Good quality material and construction. Would definitely recommend to other riders. 3 flamin chili's only for value because of price...other than that, this saddle is awesome.
