Duration Product Used:
6 months
Price Paid:
$300.00
Purchased At:
LBS
Strengths:
None
Weaknesses:
The left hand side rail on this saddle collapsed. I'm a Cross Country rider no huge jumps or bumps. Returned saddle to LBS they called the new OZ rep for Selle and he wanted to debate with them regarding replacing a rail on a 300.00 saddle that is 6 months old.
Bike Setup:
Orange E8 World Cup.
Bottom Line:
This saddle is garbage for the price. If it fails and your in Australia the new OZ rep will want to send it back to Italy to have them debate the warranty with you. Come on Selle if you advertise a saddle as being the best then make it last a little longer than 6 months. Me I will never purchase from Selle again.

Strengths:
The greatest saddle ever as far as I am concerned. Period. All other saddles even when broken in still generate some kind of pain. This one is totally pain free. Seriously, no pain, of any kind, well maybe a bit of wallet pain.
Weaknesses:
PRICE, no question the only thing that hurts about this saddle is paying for it.
Similar Products Used:
Selle Flite Carbon Rail, Numereous WTB saddles, a bunch more I can't even remember
Bike Setup:
95 S-Works Hardtail, Single speed, Sun Tour Microdrive XC Pro cranks FTW!!!
Bottom Line:
Have to ding the price on value, but this saddle makes me want to ride more, longer, and harder. If you can stomach the price buy the saddle and you will never understand why anyone would ride anything else.
Never knew I could be so passionate about a saddle.
