Strengths:
Comfy, easy on the prostate and lightweight
Weaknesses:
None noted
Similar Products Used:
Various saddles - WTB Rocket V and many vintage saddles
Bike Setup:
'05 Salsa El Santo with '08 SID Team
Bottom Line:
If you have prostate or related problems, this saddle could be a great choice for you. It certainly is for me. I use it on my FS ride, on which I do a lot of sitting and spinning vs. my rigid, vintage rides. It's great to find something that's affordable, lightweight AND serves the medical purpose it needs to serve. Naturally, results vary by person, but I'm very happy with this saddle.

Favorite Trail:
Sea Otter Downhill
Duration Product Used:
1 Year
Strengths:
- light weight - good looks - very sleek and not bulky - strong - pretty comfortable!
Weaknesses:
- MSRP is pricey, but I got it for $24 through my work ><
Bike Setup:
SWD Crazy 8
Bottom Line:
This is a great light weight saddle. I use it for downhill, because I rarely use my seat. Since that is the case, I don't need a "downhill specific" saddle... which makes me wonder why there are "downhill" saddles since you never use them for dh. Anyway, this saddle saved me about half the weight over my Marzocchi Downhill Seat and looks a ton better. The light weight and sleek design are both practical and aesthetically pleasing. I've taken my fair share of crashes and this seat has held up just fine.
5 chilies on both value and overall. They are really nice!!
