Duration Product Used:
6 months
Price Paid:
$100.00
Strengths:
Looks good, very comfortable. Easy to move about on - no restriction when sliding off the back. Good weight.
Weaknesses:
Kevlar sides are like tissue paper.
Similar Products Used:
Scott and Specialized saddles.
Bike Setup:
2007 Specialized Enduro SL Expert
Bottom Line:
These seats are great to look at and to ride but with my small sample of one they are not good value for money. I wore through the kevlar sides after about 6 months (about 1000km). Three chillis for the overall because of looks/comfort.
